Emergency Information and Notification

It is crucial to have various ways to contact you in the event of an emergency or critical event. Update your information in the RCC system to receive notifications by phone, text or emails. You may enter multiple phone numbers and email addresses. Emergency systems, or collected information, will not be used for anything other than their stated purpose. Standard text message and data rates will apply.

In a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately. Otherwise call: 
On-campus: (951) 222-8171 
Off-campus: Call your local Law Enforcement Agency​ 
 
During the call, state the following: "This is an emergency" and provide the following information: 
The nature of the emergency

  • Your name
  • Phone number from which you are calling
  • Your location

Do not hang up until you are sure no further information is required, unless there is an immediate threat to your safety. 

RCC is equipped with Emergency Blue Phones which are strategically placed throughout the campus. Each phone is activated by pressing the red button which goes directly to the RCCD Police Dispatch Center.

Annual Security Reports — Clery Reports

Each year an RCCD Cleary Report is published to provide the pubic — students, employees and their families — with information regarding campus safety, security policies, crime statistics and the resources available to them. 

The Report and Congressional Act that mandates it is named in memory of 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann Clery. Jeanne was raped and murdered while asleep in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986. Jeanne’s parents, Connie and Howard, discovered that students hadn’t been told about 38 violent crimes on the Lehigh campus in the three years before her murder. The Clery’s joined with other campus crime victims and persuaded Congress to enact a law that has evolved and grown into today’s “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Police and Campus Crime Statistics Act.”

Important Tips and Resources 

If you can’t take a bus (free for registered students), don’t like biking and live a little too far to walk…then you’re driving a vehicle to RCC campus. You need to know where to park, how to buy parking passes and the rules to follow.
