The safety and security of all members of the campus community are of primary concern at Our Lady of Holy Cross College.

Reporting
Crimes and emergencies should be reported to the security guard or to the Office of Student Affairs at the time of the occurrence. The Office maintains a close working relationship with all appropriate law enforcement agencies and elements of the criminal justice system. Reports in the form of an Incident Report will be filed at the time of the occurrence. Our follow-up activities strive to identify and prosecute criminals, recover stolen property, and encourage restitution, when possible. A crime, which occurs off-campus, should be reported to the police department having legal jurisdiction of that area.
