Contacting Law Enforcement

Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) encourages reports of criminal behavior be made with local law enforcement in addition to contacting the Title IX Coordinator. Law enforcement agencies can provide you with a wide range of services.

Provide access to:

Medical assistance
Protective measures
Victim advocate services
Counseling

Additional services:

Respond to concerns for personal safety
Share personal safety strategies
Initiate a criminal investigation
Explain how to obtain an order of protection or injunction against harassment
Answer questions about the criminal process

A criminal investigation also affords additional rights to victims . Working with local law enforcement complements an administrative investigation. MCCCD can only influence the employment and enrollment status of an individual. Local law enforcement can make sure that community members, vendors, students, or employees do not continue harmful behavior in the community setting. MCCCD will enforce any court orders and collaborate with local law enforcement during investigations. In most cases, an administrative investigation will be completed prior to a criminal investigation.
