Crime Prevention

Great Bay Community College is dedicated to a proactive approach to Campus Safety.  

We believe that our community needs everyone to be situationally aware at all times. 我们的校园安全官员可以为GBCC社区的团体或个人提供有关态势感知和个人安全策略建议的信息.

Below are some of the areas to be aware of:

  1. Be aware of your surroundings!! Recognize your vulnerability.
  2. Report all suspicious people, vehicles and activities to the Campus Safety Department immediately, by using any campus blue light phone or by dialing 7697 from any campus phone.
  3. Use the “buddy system” and watch out for our other community members.
  4. Keep your doors locked whenever you find yourself alone in a building.
  5. Report lights that are out and any hazardous conditions immediately to Campus Safety at 603-427-7697.

  4. When walking to your vehicle or residence, have your keys accessible.

  7. When getting out of a car, take a look around to make sure that you are not being followed.
  8. If you think you are being followed, cross the street and, if necessary, keep crossing back and forth. If you are pursued, call 911 for help and run to a campus building, business, or residence, enlist the aid of a passerby, flag down a passing motorist, or as a last resort pull a fire alarm. Do anything that might attract attention or summon assistance. If you are walking alone and someone passes you, check to be sure that person has continued walking in the other direction.
  9. Call or come to the Campus Safety Department for Escort Service if walking alone at night.
  10. 如果你发现自己遇到了攻击者,你必须记住,在某些情况下,尖叫和挣扎可能会吓跑攻击者, 在其他情况下,你可能会进一步对抗攻击者,并带来更暴力的反应. 最重要的是,在选择行动方针之前,你必须保持头脑清醒,评估形势. 攻击者是否携带武器或是否威胁过你的生命,应该是你做出决定的决定性因素. The key word in this type of situation is survival.
  1. If, while waiting for an elevator, you find yourself alone with a stranger, let them take the elevator and wait for its return, if you feel uncomfortable.
  2. If you are on an elevator with someone who makes you feel uneasy, get off at the next floor.

If the person appears to be a threat, sound the horn and flash your lights.

What You Can Do

Your involvement is essential to the prevention of incidents on campus.

Disinterest and complacency are contributors to the success of crime. 预防犯罪的重任不仅落在校园安全部门的肩上,也落在冰球突破豪华版试玩每个成员的肩上. Campus Safety cannot be everywhere at once and are, therefore, dependent upon you to recognize and report incidents of suspicious and criminal activity. 您的合作程度将极大地影响校园安全部门维护安全环境的有效性.

Doing your part means:

  • 意识到你的脆弱性,并遵循以下建议来保护自己和你的财产.
  • 警惕可能对我们的社区构成危险的可疑或犯罪活动和情况.
  • 通过提高安全意识和报告所有可疑事件或犯罪活动来参与, no matter how insignificant, to Campus Safety immediately.

Remember that unreported crimes cannot be solved and that, by not reporting crimes, you allow the perpetrators to commit additional and perhaps more serious crimes. Many times crime solving depends upon how accurately and promptly the incident is reported. 重要的是,你能够提供尽可能多的以下信息:

  • The nature of the incident.
  • When and where the incident occurred.
  • Number of persons involved (names, sex, race, age, height, hair style/color complexion, distinctive characteristics, i.e. facial features, scars, physical defects, glasses, clothing, etc.).
  • Direction and method of travel.
  • Vehicles involved (color, type, make, model, license plate number and state, distinctive characteristics, i.e., decals, bumper stickers, damage, number of occupants, etc.).
  • Description of stolen property (item, manufacturer, model number, serial number, value, color, dimensions, etc.).
  • Any other applicable information.

Active Shooter

An active shooter is defined as an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms. Finding yourself in an active shooter situation can cause extreme panic and disorientation. If you know what to do ahead of time, your chances of surviving this type of emergency situation are greatly increased.

What to Do in an Active Shooter Situation

If you witness any armed individual on campus at any time, immediately contact the local police at 911.

REMAIN CALM… take a few deep breaths… the most powerful resource you have is your MIND.
