In 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act (Title II of Public Law 101-542), which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 and is now known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or "Clery Act."

Compliance with the Clery Act requires institutions like Macomb Community College to adhere to various mandates. One of those requirements involves timely notification to the campus community of certain crimes or incidents that are (a) reported to campus security authorities or local police agencies, and (b) considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees. Additionally, the Act requires the college to compile and publish a list of crime statistics.

The Macomb Community College Police Department is a professional, full-service law enforcement agency with responsibility to provide police services to all areas of our campus community. Its sworn officers include a chief, lieutenants, sergeants, uniformed police officers and public service officers. Civilian support personnel consist of public service officers who provide security, fire protection and some dispatch support. Additional personnel include administrative assistants and communications/dispatch operators.

Certified officers of the Macomb Community College Police Department have complete police authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on campus. All criminal offenses, as well as violations of college rules and regulations that are committed by college students, are reported to the Dean of Students for possible disciplinary action or sanctions.

All criminal offenses are investigated by the College Police Department. Assistance may be requested from outside police agencies, as needed. Officers within the police department have received additional training and have been certified as evidence technicians. Evidence collected is turned over to the Michigan State Police crime laboratory for analysis. Upon completion of a criminal investigation, warrant requests are submitted to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

The Macomb Community College Police work closely with local, state and federal police agencies and have direct radio communications with surrounding police departments. Employees of the Macomb College Police department maintain access to the Law Enforcement Information Network as regulated by both state and federal agencies. Through this system, police personnel can access the National Crime Information Computer and retrieve database information from the Michigan State Police and Michigan Secretary of State.

Macomb Community College Police do not monitor criminal student actions off campus and do not have agreements in place for such monitoring. College Police officials maintain a close working relationship with all surrounding police agencies and will be advised of student criminal activity that may cause a safety concern on campus. This information will also be turned over to the Dean of Students for review and possible disciplinary action.

The Macomb Community College Police Department is continually involved in researching methods to improve all aspects of police work. These include utilization of digital video cameras, electronic door alarms, emergency telephones, public awareness crime prevention seminars and distribution of related brochures. In addition, the College Police Department offers Emergency Preparedness & Situational Awareness training to all faculty and staff. The one and-a-half hour training session combines presentation, demonstration, discussion and hands-on exercises.

Each semester, the Macomb Community College Police Department makes available crime prevention literature and safety information in the form of pamphlets and video displays. Seminars or presentations can be requested by student or staff groups and can be tailored to cover specific information related to crime prevention. This may include prevention of assault, robbery, sex crime, date rape, stalking, carjacking, vehicle theft, identity theft, active shooter, weather emergencies and general crime prevention.

In addition to crime prevention, other services such as lost and found procedures, handicap parking information, after-hour building access, and procedures concerning emergency weather and fire are provided. Direction for help in attaining alcohol and drug abuse assistance, spouse or child abuse, and emergency shelter information is available. Assistance will also be provided in locating towing companies for vehicle service.
