The reporting of crimes is vital in achieving the goal of providing a safe learning environment for the campus community.\u00a0 All persons who are victims or witnesses of a crime should promptly report the occurrence to the Palomar College Police Department. Reporting of such offenses by victims or witnesses may be done voluntarily. At times, sensitive situations may arise and police officers cooperate with individuals on a confidential basis. Privileges of confidentiality in criminal matters that are referred for prosecution in a court of law may be subject to exposure. Police officers work closely with prosecutors and investigators with the San Diego County District Attorney\u2019s Office in these matters and the welfare of the victim or witness is of primary concern.<\/p>\n
