See Something, Say Something Reminder

The Los Rios Colleges are public, open campuses and anyone is free to come onto our college properties, and many people do, even if they are not students or employees. And some will occasionally do things that may raise a red flag in your mind.

You hear it all the time – "If You See Something, Say Something." This slogan is a national campaign that raises public awareness of the importance of reporting suspicious activity to state and local law enforcement. But it is more than a slogan; it's how we protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.

You play a key role by recognizing and reporting suspicious activity. Suspicious activity can refer to any incident, event, individual, or activity that seems unusual or out of place. Some common examples of suspicious activities include a person on campus that looks to be doing something inappropriate, a vehicle cruising the parking lots repeatedly, someone peering into cars or windows, or shouting inappropriately.

We are asking for your help to speak up if you see anything suspicious or unusual. Contact the Los Rios Police Department at (916) 558-2221 and press "0" to speak to Dispatch. We also encourage you to go to the Los Rios Police Department website for safety resources and other information, including what to do in case of an emergency.

Shout Out!

Anne Gillman, Professor of Political Science, recently received the American Political Science Association Community College Faculty Award for excellence in teaching, mentoring, community engagement, governance, and/or research by a community college faculty member in the profession. Anne presented at the American Political Science Association in Baltimore this past January on her work at ARC to better help students understand how to evaluate information to determine if it is reliable. The work is compiled into a module that all her students take as part of Anne’s classes.
