Public Safety and Security
The Public Safety and Security Department provides public safety services to the HACC community, serving with integrity, efficiency and professionalism.

HACC public safety and security officers are not police officers. They may make arrests as private citizens, issue warnings and fines for violations of on-campus parking regulations, ask for your identification to confirm you have lawful business on HACC campuses and property and report criminal incidents to the local police.
Reporting a Crime
If you witness criminal activity on HACC property, you should immediately report that activity to the campus Public Safety and Security Office, or report the activity to the appropriate police agency for your campus.
You can make a confidential report by contacting the Public Safety and Security Department in person, by phone or by using a callbox. You may also use the Campus Report a Crime online service to make an anonymous report.
While reports made to security personnel or other responsible employees of the College will be held confidential, disclosure of personally identifiable information may be mandated by law in the furtherance of a Title IX investigation. Individuals reporting should also consider that reports which withhold information may affect the ability of the College or outside authorities to conduct a timely and effective investigation of an alleged crime.
HACC public safety and security officers will report criminal activity to the local police or the Pennsylvania State Police as necessary. If a student has committed a criminal action or policy violation, they will forward the report to the director of community standards. The director will review the complaint and may initiate student disciplinary action. College disciplinary action will be separate from civil authorities' actions.
