Reporting a Crime or Emergency

For emergencies, please call 911. The College encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all criminal actions, emergencies, or other incidents occurring on campus, on other property owned by the College, or on nearby public property to the appropriate administrator and appropriate police agencies. Such a report is encouraged even when the victim of a crime elects not to make a report or is unable to do so.

  • If a crime is in progress or there is some other situation posing imminent danger, local law enforcement can be reached by dialing 911.
  • All criminal actions detected during school operating hours are to be reported to the front desk who in turn will notify the school administrator on site. Galen supports the enforcement of all local, state, and national laws and will cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies in this activity.
  • Students, staff, and visitors may also report situations to one of the campus security authorities identified above. Once reported, the individual may also be encouraged to report the situation to the appropriate police agency. If requested, a College staff member will assist in making the report to police.
  • Victims or witnesses are encouraged to report crimes to Campus administration, and may contact the Office of Regulatory Affairs and Compliance at compliance@galencollege.edu to report crimes and instances where the individual wants to remain anonymous or report confidentially, within the parameters of the law.
