Parking Information
The college sheriff is located in the sheriff's building in parking lot "D" and is open 24 hrs per day/7 days per week. Our campus extension telephone number is #2911 (from any campus office phone). The campus sheriff office number is (818) 947-2911.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is a service-oriented policing organization where crime prevention is the top priority. We maintain high visibility in all areas of the campus to help prevent crime before it happens or to witness crimes in progress. We welcome information from students regarding any criminal activity. We consider students a vital resource for the college sheriff for crime prevention at LAVC.
Any staff or student may inquire about crime on campus. All campus crime stats are posted in the college sheriff's office lobby and on the sheriff's website: (http://www.lavc.edu/sheriff/crimealerts.html).
PROTECT YOURSELF
You can take the following actions to protect yourself and your property :
- Make sure you always lock your vehicle.
- Do not leave valuable items in plain sight in your vehicle (this creates temptation for criminals).
- Record serial numbers to your valuable items (car stereo, cell phone, Walkman, etc.). This information is recorded into the "Automated Property System" (APS), which is statewide information available to all law enforcement agencies if they should contact an individual with your property.
- Do not leave your textbooks or personal items in a classroom unattended (if you go to the restroom, talk to an instructor, etc.). They may not be there when you return. Write your name on all of your items.
- Be aware of your surroundings when walking through the campus or the parking lots. If you reasonably feel in fear for your safety, contact the college sheriff's office and we will assist you.
