CAMPUS LAW ENFORCEMENT
Public Safety is responsible for law enforcement and has a working relationship with the
County Sheriff’s Department, to which all crimes are reported. Public Safety officers patrol the
Suffern campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year; and patrol the Haverstraw
Center and Herbert Kurz Automotive Technology Center during their hours of operation. The
Sheriff’s Department responds to requests by Public Safety.
Emergency Notification - In case of an emergency, we want to be sure we have a way to get
in touch with you. It is imperative that everyone signs up for SwiftReach 911 part of our
emergency notification system. It can be found on our website at this link:
.
edu/campus-life/public-safety/emergency-notifications or by clicking on the red emergency
light icon on the College’s home page.
Campus Safety App - Public Safety teamed up with 911Shield to develop a free custom
campus safety application called RCC#SAFE. With RCC#SAFE installed on your smartphone,
employees and students have the ability to be connected to help at all times, whether you are
on or off RCC campuses. When on campus, the app provides easy ways for the community
to contact Public Safety in case of an emergency. You can press the Get Help button,
make non-emergency reports, request a safety escort, check campus safety info and gain
access to RCC’s emergency policies and procedures. When off campus, if you press the Get
Help button, your phone will dial the nearest 911 call center. Through the use of the
global positioning systems (GPS), as well as indoor positioning system (IPS), RCC#SAFE is
able to provide Public Safety’s dispatch with an accurate on campus location of the user even if
they are inside of a building. This also allows the app to use Geo-fencing to determine if the
user is on or off campus and will call 911 when off campus.
CAMPUS SECURITY REPORT – CAMPUS SECURITY ACT
RCC is committed to providing students a safe environment in which to learn and keep
students, parents and employees well informed about campus security. As required by the
Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, the College prepares a campus security
report that identifies alleged criminal offenses reported to campus security authorities or local
police agencies that have occurred on campus and in certain off-campus buildings or properties
owned or controlled by the College. The Campus Personal Safety Committee will provide,
upon request, all campus crime statistics as reported to the US Dept. of Education pursuant
to the Campus Security Act. You may review the campus crime statistics for the College by
visiting the Dept. of Education Web site at
To obtain a hard copy
of the campus crime statistics and additional related information, please contact the Director of
Public Safety at 845-574-4362.
CHANGE OF NAME AND ADDRESS
Students are responsible for keeping the College informed of their current address. Changes
in either address or name should be reported to Records & Registration. Please bring photo ID
