If you have more than one assignment with the District on regular payroll cycles, all
pay will go direct deposit.

schedule, will not be direct deposited. When regular pay is reissued on a supplemental
schedule, you will receive an actual payroll warrant.

Cerritos Community College District is required to provide you this notice, Form SSA-
1945, to read and sign at the beginning of your employment with our organization. We
are required to do so under federal law, Section 419(c) of Public Law 108-203, the Social
Security Protection Act of 2004.
This notice must be provided to you because you are serving in a job or position, in which
you as employee and Cerritos Community College District as employer will not be
contributing to Social Security on your behalf.
You must do the following (See Reverse Side):
Read the notice
Sign the notice
Return the notice to Human Resources
What is the purpose of the notice?
The purpose of the notice is to inform you about how Social Security law may impact
public employees who work in positions not covered by Social Security. This can be a
complicated issue, so we encourage you to seek out additional information to determine
whether the laws mentioned in the notice pertain to you by doing the following:
Check the Social Security website at www.socialsecurity.gov.
Employees in the PARS Plan can obtain further information on this plan by
contacting PARS at www.parsinfo.org or (800) 540-6369.
Neither STRS, PARS nor Cerritos Community College District provides tax,
accounting, or legal advice. You should see your tax consultant, accountant or
attorney for advice.
Why will I not be in Social Security?
Not all employees working in public employment participate in Social Security through
such employment. Instead of participating in Social Security academic employees
participate in either the State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS) or the Public Agency
Retirement Services (PARS) Plan. Full-time employees participate in STRS. Temporary
part-time and/or substitute hourly employees have the option to voluntarily elect into
STRS or if not electing STRS such employees participate in the PARS Plan. Full-time
long-term substitute employees also have the option to elect into STRS and if not electing
STRS such employees participate in PARS except upon rendering 100 full days of service
in a school year such employees are required to become members of STRS. Part-time
hourly employees are also required to become members of STRS upon rendering 60 or
more hours of service in a pay period.

become disabled, you may receive a pension based on earnings from this job. If you do, and
you are also entitled to a benefit from Social Security based on either your own work or the work

Under the Windfall Elimination Provision, your Social Security retirement or disability benefit is
figured using a modified formula when you are also entitled to a pension from a job where you
did not pay Social Security tax. As a result, you will receive a lower Social Security benefit than
if you were not entitled to a pension from this job. For example, if you are age 62 in 2005, the
maximum monthly reduction in your Social Security benefit as a result of this provision is
$313.50. This amount is updated annually. This provision reduces, but does not totally
eliminate, your Social Security benefit. For additional information, please refer to the Social
Security publication, “Windfall Elimination Provision.”
Government Pension Offset Provision
Under the Government Pension Offset Provision, any Social Security spouse or widow(er)
benefit to which you become entitled will be offset if you also receive a Federal, State or local
government pension based on work where you did not pay Social Security tax. The offset
reduces the amount of your Social Security spouse or widow(er) benefit by two-thirds of the
amount of your pension.
For exampl
e, if you get a monthly pension of $600 based on earnings that are not covered
under Social Security, two-thirds of that amount, $400, is used to offset your Social Security
spouse or widow(er) benefit. If you are eligible for a $500 widow(er) benefit, you will receive
$100 per month from Social Security, $500 - $400 = $100. Even if your pension is high enough
to totally offset your spouse or widow(er) Social Security benefit, you are still eligible for
Medicare at age 65. For additional information, please refer to the Social Security publication,
“Government Pension Offset.”

effects of the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset

COMMUNICATION
Communication to employees and between employees and the District on matters relating to
occupational safety and health is an important aspect of ensuring the success of the District’s Injury
and Illness Prevention Program. Therefore, through the IIPP District Coordinator and the IIPP
Site Coordinators, the District will implement a system or combination of systems intended to
accomplish the following:
1. Provide a means for the District to communicate to employees, in a readily understandable
form, matters relating to occupational safety and health; and
2. Encourage employees to inform the District Facilities Department of workplace safety
hazards
The communication portion of this IIPP will consist of any one or combination of the following:
1. TRAINING AND RETRAINING PROGRAMS. Safety training and retraining classes
provide a forum for the discussion of specific and general safety, health, and compliance
best practices.
2. MEETINGS. Site managers will conduct safety meetings or staff meetings, which may
include the discussion of safety issues or specific safety topics. These meetings are intended
to discuss one or more safety items and encourage open discussions between employees and
management.
3. SAFETY COMMITTEE. The Safety Committee is considered an important part of the
overall system of communication. The recommended committee make-up may include
representatives from the following:
Administration
Maintenance/Operations
Students
Academic Staff
Classified Staff
Safety and Security/Campus Police
Faculty
Expert Consultants
The Safety Committee will ensure that the following requirements are met:
a. The committee meets regularly, but not less than quarterly.
b. Minutes or written records are prepared for each meeting showing the safety and
health issues discussed. These records shall be made available to all affected
employees through the use of postings, newsletters, or other appropriate written
Page 7
materials. Records of the meetings will be kept on file and be accessible via the
www.cerritos.edu website for at least 5 years.
c. Reports of safety inspections, investigations of occupational accidents, and causes of
any incident resulting in injury, illness, or exposure to hazardous substances are
reviewed. Where necessary or appropriate, the committee will submit suggestions to
management for the prevention of future incidents.
4. ANONYMOUS NOTIFICATIONS. Notifications can be made in open forums or
training sessions, as well as through inter-departmental mail sent to management,
supervisors, union representatives, or Human Resources. Site Managers will submit all
anonymous notifications to the Safety committee.
5. MISCELLANEOUS. When appropriate, the District may use written communications
such as inter-District memos, electronic media, envelope stuffers, newsletters, and workplace
postings to supplement the previously described systems and further communicate to
employees matters relating to workplace safety and health.
EVALUATION, INVESTIGATION and CORRECTION OF WORKPLACE HAZARDS
A major component in the effectiveness of the Injury and Illness Prevention Program depends on
the ability to properly identify, evaluate, and correct workplace hazards. The main system for
identifying and evaluating workplace hazards will be ongoing evaluations, inspections, and meetings.
The purpose of these inspections and meetings will be to identify and correct unsafe conditions and
work practices.
Workplace inspections will be scheduled and can be conducted on an as needed basis using the
following criteria:
An initial inspection when the program is first established;
An inspection of affected areas whenever a new substance, process, procedure, or piece of
equipment that potentially presents a new occupational safety and/or health hazard is
introduced to the workplace;
An inspection of affected areas whenever the management is made aware of a new or
previously unrecognized hazard; and
When occupational illnesses and injuries occur, the IIPP Site Coordinator or designee will
conduct the investigation.
1. ONGOING INSPECTIONS. The annual workplace inspection is an important part of
the overall inspection program. Site Managers are responsible for ensuring safety
inspections are conducted per schedule. These inspections will be conducted with the
following considerations:
Page 8
a. The IIPP Site Coordinator in conjunction with the Site Manager will designate
management personnel conducting the inspections.
b. Inspections may be accomplished using check-off forms or other means of
documentation.
c. Copies of the completed check-off forms or other documents will be distributed as
follows:
IIPP Site Coordinator
Site Manager
Safety Committee
2. ANNUAL INSPECTIONS. The District will use outside safety consultants to
supplement the in-house inspection program. Inspections by outside safety consultants will
be conducted annually. The party conducting the professional inspections must have
professional qualifications and safety expertise, e.g., Certified Safety Professional (CSP), a
professional member of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), or a registered
Professional Engineer (PE) in safety with demonstrated experience at educational
institutions and must carry liability insurance. Copies of consultant’s inspection reports will
be maintained at least 5 years at the District’s Business Office.
3. SAFETY ACTIVITIES. Job Safety Analysis (JSA), employee safety training, or issue
specific assessments (e.g., department ergonomic studies) may be used in lieu of or to
supplement the scheduled workplace inspections.
4. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS. The injured employee’s immediate manager will
conduct the accident investigations to identify and correct unsafe conditions and practices.
These investigations will be conducted for all work-related injuries and illnesses resulting in
employees being unable to work.
5. CORRECTIONS OF UNSAFE OR UNHEALTHFUL CONDITIONS. Unsafe or
unhealthy work conditions, practices, or procedures shall be corrected in a timely manner
based on the severity of the hazards. Hazards shall be corrected according to the following
criteria:
a. When observed or discovered.
b. When an imminent hazard exists that cannot be immediately abated without
endangering employee(s) and/or property, all exposed employees, except those
properly trained or qualified to correct the existing condition, will be evacuated from
the area impacted.
c. Following an accident investigation or hazard assessment (e.g., JSA) when unsafe
acts or conditions are identified.
Page 9
d. When evidence of repeated unhealthful situation is documented and reported in
specific areas.
All such actions taken to correct hazards and corresponding dates of completion shall be
documented on the appropriate forms. The responsible Administrators, Deans, Directors,
and Managers shall be notified of unsafe conditions and corrective action recommended.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING
The IIPP District Coordinator and the IIPP Site Coordinators units will implement and maintain an
Occupational Safety and Health Training Program for their respective employees. The training
program is intended to train and instruct employees in general safety and health work practices, and
to provide instruction with regard to hazards specific or unique to each employee’s job.
The IIPP Site Coordinators shall ensure that all Site Managers are knowledgeable of the safety and
health hazards to which employees under their immediate direction and control may be exposed.
Employee training may include the following elements:
1. All employees will receive training and instruction when the Injury and Illness Prevention
Program is first established and when modifications and revisions are completed. All
employees will receive information on the IIPP at the time of hire.
2. All affected or potentially affected employees will receive appropriate safety training prior to
assignments, when potentially exposed to new hazards, when assigned new work tasks, or
when a new chemical/material, equipment, or process is introduced into the workplace.
3. Employees will receive refresher training when new or previously unrecognized hazards are
identified, when the District feels it is appropriate, or as mandated by regulatory
requirements.
4. Employees attending or receiving training mandated by this Program will sign attendance
sheets and actively participate in training.
5. Specific employee training will be determined/identified by the IIPP District Coordinator,
IIPP Site Coordinators, and the Site Managers in consultation with safety consultants. This
training will be designed to address department and task specific compliance and accident
prevention needs.
6. IIPP District Coordinator and District Workers’ Compensation Coordinators will receive
appropriate training to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations.
Page 10
RECORDKEEPING DUTIES
Records of hazard assessments, safety and hazard inspections, safety meetings, accident
investigations, and safety and health training for each employee will be maintained for at least 5
years.
The hazard assessments, health and safety inspections, and accident investigation records will
identify the person conducting the inspection/activity, any unsafe conditions or practices identified,
and the corrective action(s) taken to eliminate or control the hazard.
Health and safety training records shall include the name of the employees trained, date and type of
training provided, and the provider of the training.

PREAMBLE 9
These standards and administrative procedures defining and governing acceptable and 10
unacceptable use will apply to anyone who uses any computer system, network system, 11
Internet connectivity or intranet site or other data processing resources provided by the 12
District. It is considered a violation of District policy to use the District’s network and/or 13
Internet access in such a way that it interferes with or is incompatible with the user’s 14
performance, duties, or responsibilities. 15
As a condition for receiving and exercising computing privileges, a user of District 16
computing systems must read, understand, and comply with the standards and 17
procedures outlined herein and to any further guidelines provided by the administrators 18
of each area and/or system. 19
Unacceptable use is prohibited and can become grounds for loss of computing 20
privileges, disciplinary action up to and including termination or expulsion and/or legal 21
actions under local, state and federal laws. 22
The District is committed to providing access to computing resources to all members of
23
its current student body, faculty, staff and members of the Board of Trustees and other 24
authorized community members. While the fullest possible open access to District 25
computing facilities and systems is consistent with the educational and service missions 26
of the District, such access to this valuable and vulnerable District resource is a 27
privilege. The District is responsible for securing its network and computing systems to 28
a reasonable degree against failure, loss of data, and unauthorized access, while 29
making them accessible to the largest possible group of authorized and legitimate users 30
and uses within the financial and educational constraints of the District. 31
PRIVILEGES 32
An individual user must respect the rights of other users, respect the integrity of the 33
systems he/she is using, and observe all relevant laws and regulations. 34
Users do not own either District computers or accounts, but rather are granted the use 35
of such computers and accounts. The District owns the computers and accounts and 36
grants individuals the privilege of using them. 37
District employees may apply for user IDs to utilize email and restricted Internet
38
services. Connectivity to the Internet from off-campus locations is not provided for by 39
the District. 40
RESPONSIBILITIES 41
Each user is held accountable for his/her actions while using District resources. By 42
using his/her District provided resources, each user acknowledges and agrees to abide 43
by and conform to the following: 44
Computers and networks are provided to support District related research, 45
instruction, learning, communication, distribution of scholarly information, and 46
administrative activities. 47
A user shall not attempt to modify any system or network or attempt to crash or 48
“hack” into District systems. A user shall not tamper with any software protections or 49
restrictions placed on computer applications or files to protect shared assets, assets 50
managed by others, or software or data not part of a learning or research program in 51
approved curriculum. Unless properly authorized, a user shall not attempt to access 52
restricted portions of any operating system or security software. Improperly 53
accessing or attempting to access confidential information concerning students or 54
employees is prohibited. A user shall not attempt to remove existing software or add 55
his/her personal software to District computers and systems unless authorized by 56
the Director of Information Technology or his/her designee. 57
Prior to the purchase and installation of new software or hardware, the authorizing 58
Dean/area manager should contact the Information Technology Department to verify 59
licensing restrictions and compatibility of new software with the computer(s) and the 60
network. 61
An authorizing Dean/area manager must also contact the Information Technology 62
Department to verify software accessibility for students with disabilities prior to the 63
purchase and installation of any new software or hardware for educational programs. 64
A user shall use only his/her designated computer account. An account is non-65
transferable: a user shall not use another individual’s ID, password or account. A 66
user should respect the privacy and personal rights of others and not access or copy 67
another user’s email, data or files without permission. A user is responsible for 68
his/her own computer account(s) and shall not allow others to use his/her 69
account(s). A user should take precautions, such as locking the computer on which 70
he/she is working when he/she is not able to physically control access, so that 71
others may not access his/her computer resources. A user should select a secure 72
password, one that cannot be found within the dictionary, or easily guessed. The 73
use of upper/lower case letters in conjunction with numbers in selecting a password 74
is highly recommended. 75
A user is responsible for using software and electronic materials in accordance with 76
copyright and licensing restrictions and applicable District policies. Both District 77
policies and the law expressly prohibit the copying of software in violation of their 78
copyrights. 79
INDIVIDUAL USER RIGHTS 80
An authorized user is entitled to due process rights as described in Board Policies, 81
Administrative Procedures and collective bargaining agreements. 82
The District will respect the exercise of academic freedom as described in Board Policy 83
and an individual user’s right to free speech provided that the exercise of such right 84
does not violate any existing District Board Policy, Administrative Procedure, local, state 85
or federal laws. Individual rights to free speech do not overrule or preclude the express 86
prohibition of harassment of individuals on or off campus. 87
The District and its authorized users shall respect individual ownership rights to 88
intellectual property, subject to existing District Board Policies, Administrative 89
Procedures and collective bargaining agreements. 90
Virtually no online activities or services guarantee absolute privacy. It is impossible for 91
the District to protect the privacy of email messages and other electronic files or 92
documents. A user should be aware that electronic mail, documents and files are not 93
entirely private and are more analogous to an open postcard than to a letter inside a 94
sealed envelope traveling through the U.S. mail. A user should exercise appropriate 95
care and caution. 96
The District cannot protect an individual against the receipt of material that may be 97
offensive to him/her. A user of District electronic computing is warned that he/she may 98
receive material that is offensive. Likewise, an individual who uses email or those who 99
place personal information on the Internet should know that the District cannot protect 100
an individual from an invasion of privacy. The District will make every reasonable 101
attempt to honor the privacy of an individual using the District’s computing resources 102
for District business within the guidelines of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act 103
(ECPA), which makes it illegal to intercept electronic communications on a public or 104
private network without proper authorization, and state and federal students records 105
laws including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Health 106
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). 107
The District reserves the right, for an extraordinary reason (e.g., basic system security, 108
the safety of the campus or of an individual member of the campus community, the 109
interception of suspected illegal or inappropriate activity), to access and monitor all files, 110
and Internet and email use. 111
APPROPRIATE USES OF DISTRICT COMPUTER RESOURCES 112
The District’s computing facilities and network systems are provided to support the 113
instructional, cultural, research, professional and administrative activities of the District. 114
An employee may use District computers and the network for union activities in 115
accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements and policies and 116
procedures governing the use of District equipment. A user is required to behave in a 117
responsible, ethical and legal manner and to follow this procedure and existing Board 118
Policies, Administrative Procedures and local, state and federal laws. 119
Individual divisions or areas within the District may define additional conditions of use 120
for information resources under their control. These statements must be consistent with 121
this overall procedure but may provide additional detail, guidelines and/or restrictions. 122
PROHIBITED USES OF COLLEGE COMPUTER RESOURCES 123
Copyright/License Infringement/Mass Mailings 124
A user may not participate in any activities knowingly and/or carelessly that have the 125
potential to interfere with or disrupt network users, services, or equipment. The 126
distribution or “forwarding” of spam or unsolicited advertising is strictly prohibited. The 127
District equipment may not be used to violate copyright laws or license agreements. No 128
one may inspect, change, copy or distribute proprietary data, programs, files, disks or 129
software without the proper authority. The prohibited transmission of copyrighted 130
material is forbidden without the express written authorization of the copyright holder. 131
Computer software protected by copyright must not be copied into, away from, or with 132
the use of campus computing facilities, except as permitted by law or by the terms of 133
the copyright. This means that such computer software may only be copied in order to 134
make back-up copies. The number of copies and distribution of copies may not be 135
done in such a way that the number of simultaneous users in a department exceeds the 136
number of original copies purchased by that department unless concurrent licensing 137
applies. 138
Defamation/Libel/Slander 139
Creating or transmitting any false statement that causes injury to an individual’s 140
reputation is strictly prohibited. Any user creating or transmitting defamatory statements 141
shall have sole liability for any damages resulting from such defamatory statement. Any 142
user may also be subject to the District disciplinary procedures for such action. 143
The user agrees never to attempt to transmit, or cause to be transmitted, any message 144
in which the origination is deliberately misleading. 145
Commercial and Political Use 146
Commercial use of the District computing systems for personal gain is prohibited. Use 147
for commercial and illegal purposes is unacceptable (e.g. inappropriate mass mailing or 148
“spamming”). This is in direct violation of the Cenic policy under which the District 149
obtains its access to the Internet. (See section 10 of the procedure.) 150
Personal use may be restricted if the resources consumed interfere with equitable 151
access by other users and the utilization of the system for school business purposes. 152
Direct marketing of personal products and services of any kind is prohibited. 153
Transmitting any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials or other forms of 154
soliciting is prohibited without authorization from District administration. 155
Links to external sites that market required or recommended instructional materials are 156
allowed only if such links appear in the context of other required and recommended 157
instructional materials, more than one source for such materials is listed, and the 158
materials are available at the campus bookstore and shelved with instructional items. 159
References on individual web pages to external sites that market non-instructional 160
products and services such as consulting services, etc. are allowed only in the context 161
of a résumé listing. 162
Links to external sites using direct marketing language such as “consulting services” is 163
not permitted. 164
The District is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization and, as such, is subject to specific 165
local, state and federal laws regarding sources of income, political activities, use of 166
property and similar matters. District information resources must not be used for 167
partisan political activities that urge the support or defeat of any ballot measure or 168
candidate, or where such use would otherwise be prohibited by local, state, or federal 169
laws, Board Policy or Administrative Procedures. 170

A user shall use only his/her designated computer account(s) or an appropriate 253
authorized “generic” account to which he/she is entitled to access. A user is 254
responsible for his/her computer account(s) and shall not allow others to use his/her 255
computer account(s). Individual password security is the responsibility of each user. A 256
user may not use any passwords, recognition codes, security access information, or 257
physical locking devices such as locks on any part of the computing system without the 258

Technology in writing all electronic security devices the user wishes to use prior to using 260
them and provide electronic keys, passwords, access codes and/or other security 261
information or materials to permit the District to obtain access to the user’s secured 262
areas. The District reserves the right to remove any such device at any time at the 263
District’s discretion. 264
Users should always maintain their own backups of their protected data as the removal 265
of any private protection systems, of which the District was not aware, could result in 266
unrecoverable data loss. It is a violation for users to protect any assets to which the 267
District has an interest with such systems if the keys are not placed in a proper, 268
authorized escrow with the Director of Information Technology. 269
System Alterations 270
Modifying or altering the computing system (except in approved research or for 271
instructional purposes) in any way is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to 272
altering or attempting to alter system software or hardware configurations on either 273

communication, or store information which violates District policies or procedures 285
regarding discrimination or harassment is prohibited. 286
Unauthorized Use/Failure to Follow Procedures 287
Use of the computer and network systems is a privilege extended to students and 288
employees and not a right. An employee user will provide acknowledgement of receipt 289
of the terms and conditions in Administrative Procedure 3720 to the District before the 290
District will provide use privileges. The written acknowledgement will be retained in the 291
employee’s personnel file. A student user will be provided notice of the terms and 292
conditions of this Administrative Procedure through the class schedules, the District 293
website and applicable instructional materials. 294
If substantial amendments, modifications and/or a revocation of the terms and
295
conditions of this Administrative Procedure are made, an employee user will be required 296
to provide a written acknowledgement of receipt of notice of these changes to the 297
Human Resources Office within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days. 298

rules and regulations of the District or a department and/or311
Use of the computing and/or network system in a manner which damages or312
harms any person and/or the property of the District.313
An employee user who engages in unauthorized or prohibited use of the computer 314
and/or network system may lose computer privileges and/or may be subject to 315
disciplinary action up to and including termination from employment. A student user 316
who engages in unauthorized or prohibited use of the computer and/or network system 317
may lose computer privileges and/or may be subject to disciplinary action up to and 318
including suspension or expulsion. 319
If allegations of unauthorized or prohibited use are made against a user and the District 320
pursues disciplinary action, disciplinary procedures in this action will follow the 321
applicable Education Code sections and Board Policies. 322
If a user engages in unauthorized or prohibited use which constitutes a violation of local, 323
state, or federal laws, such violation will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement 324
agency for prosecution as deemed appropriate by the law enforcement or regulatory 325
agency. 326
Additional Guidelines
327
The District retains the right to revoke, amend, or change the provisions of this 328
Administrative Procedure for Computer and Network Use. However, any such changes 329
to these procedures will first be reviewed by the Information Technology Standards 330
Committee and the college community shall be informed of such changes through 331
email. 332
Any defects discovered in computing and network system accounting or system security 333
must be reported promptly to the Director of Information Technology so that steps can 334
be taken to investigate and solve the problem. 335
Disclosure
336
A user should be aware that he/she does not have an expectation of privacy in the use 337
of District computing and network resources. The District reserves the right to monitor 338
all use of District computer and network system to assure compliance with these 339
procedures. The District will only exercise this right for legitimate District purposes, 340
including but not limited to ensuring compliance with this procedure and the integrity 341
and security of the computing system. 342
A user is advised that there is the possibility of unintended disclosure of
343
communications. A user is advised that it is possible to retrieve information entered on 344
or transmitted via computer and communication systems, even if a user deletes such 345
information. 346
The California Public Records Act (Government Code, Sections 6250 et seq.) includes 347
computer transmissions in the definition of “public records” and communications made 348
on the District network or computing system which is not defined by law as exempt must 349
be disclosed if requested by a member of the public. 350
Computer transmissions and electronically stored information may be discoverable in 351
litigation. 352

ABOUT THE CERRITOS COLLEGE POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Board of Trustees has established the Cerritos College Police Department (CCPD), which has primary
responsibility for patrolling District property. The Police Department’s jurisdiction includes other grounds or
properties owned, operated, controlled, or administered on behalf of the Cerritos Community College District as
outlined in the Education Code, Section 72330. CCPD is committed to the safety and security of all students, staff,
and faculty, as well as others visiting Cerritos College. CCPD is
responsible for patrol
ling District grounds, facilities,
and parking lots to protect persons and property and enforce applicable laws and ordinances.
CCPD police officers have complete police authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts,
pursuant to California Penal Code Section 830.32 and Education Code Section 72330. Having met all state
standards for selection and training, the officers have authority equal to a municipal police officer or county deputy
sheriff.
CCPD personnel work closely with local, state, and federal police agencies and have direct radio communication
with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as well as other local, state, federal, and military agencies which
participate in the Los Angeles Regional Tactical Communication System (LARTCS). CCPD is also part of the State
of California 911 Emergency System.
In addition to police officers, CCPD employs Police Cadets who patrol the campus on foot and by bicycle. While not
police officers, Cadets each have radio contact with CCPD and can summon assistance when necessary.
Cerritos College has a formalmemorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department for its assistance with incidents that require resources not available on-site. This agreement also
clarifies operational responsibilities for investigations of Part I violent crimes and delineates the specific
geographical boundaries of each agencys operational responsibility. This written agreement is public record and is
made available for inspection
by members of the
public upon request to the Chief of the Cerritos College Police
Department. Resources from other local, state and federal agencies are also available for incidents requiring
special personnel or equipment.
REPORTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
Members of the District, guests and the general public are strongly encouraged to immediately report all crimes and
public safety related incidents to the Campus Police Department (AP §3515). Crimes should be reported regardless
of the victim’s desire for prosecution to ensure inclusion in the annual crime statistics and to aid in providing timely
safety warnings to the community, when appropriate.
The Cerritos College Police Department is staffed 24 hours a day, every day. A person may report any criminal
activity or suspected criminal activity or any other emergency at any time, day or night, by calling the Police
Department. They can be reached by calling (562) 860-2451, ext. 2325 for routine inquiries or, in case of
emergency, by dialing 911 from any campus extension or pay phone on campus. There are also Emergency
Phones located throughout the campus which dir
ectly dial t
he Police Department. Emergency calls can also be
made via cell phone by dialing (562) 402-3674. Reports may be made in person at the Police Department, which is
located on the south side of campus at the 11090 New Falcon Way, Cerritos CA 90703.
All CCPD incident reports will be investigated as appropriate and those with sufficient information to warrant
Page 2 of 12
criminal filing will be submitted to the District Attorney’s office for consideration. Reports involving students in
violations of the law or the Student Standards of Conduct are forwarded to Office of Student Conduct and
Grievance for review and potential action.
OFF-CAMPUS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
Cerritos College does not have off-campus student organizations. Crimes which occur at off-campus District
approved events such as athletic competitions should be reported to the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction
over the area the crime takes place.
CONFI
DENTIAL REPORTING
If you are the victim of a crime but do not want to pursue action within the criminal justice or college system, you
may still want to consider making a confidential report. With your permission, the Vice-President of Human
Resources or a designee of can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing your identity. The
purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to
ensure the future safety
of yourself and others. With such information, the
college can keep an accurate record of
the number of incidents on campus, determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location,
method or assailant, and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted
and disclosed in the annual crimes statistics for the institution.
On-campus counselors and mental health professionals are encouraged to inform persons they are counseling of
the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual crime statistics.
DISCLOSURES TO ALLEGED VICTIMS OF CRIMES OF VIOLENCE OR NON-FORCIBLE SEX OFFENSES
Cerritos College will, upon written request, disclose to the alleged victim of a crime of violence, or a non-forcible sex
offense, the results of any disciplinary hearing conducted by the college against the student who is the allege
perpetrator of the crime or offence. If the alleged victim is deceased as a result of the crime or offence, the college
will provide the results of the disciplinary hearing to the victims next of kin, if so requested.
TIMELY SAFETY WARNINGS
The District publishes “timely safety warnings” to the campus community any time a situation arises, either on or off
campus that, in the judgment of the President/Superintendent or designee, represents an ongoing or continuing
threat to students and employees. These warnings are disseminated by the Campus Police department in a timely
manner so as to aid in the prevention of similar crimes. (See Board AP §3515) Warnings will be issued through the
college e-mail system to s
tudents, faculty, staff and the campus’ student newspaper “Talon Marks”.
In the event of circumstances that could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the Campus
Police department may also alert the community via text messaging utilizing Nixle and post a notice on the
electronic bulletin board accessible at www.cerritoscollege.us.
Copies of the notice are also posted at the entrances
to each building.
Anyone with information warranting a timely safety warning should report the circumstances to the Campus Police
Department, by phone at (562) 924-3618 or in person at the Campus Police station located on the South side of
campus at 11090 New Falcon Way, Cerritos CA 90703.
CRIME PREVENTION AND AWARENESS
Cerritos College enjoys a crime rate much lower than that of the surrounding area, but no community can be totally
risk-free in today’s society. The campus police department recognizes that safety on campus is everyone’s concern
and partners with students, staff and faculty in creating an atmosphere that is safe and encourages learning.
Working together with Student Government, Staff and Faculty groups and various clubs on campus, the police
department strives to provide
education whil
e identifying specific concerns of the campus community.
Page 3 of 12
EDUCATION
Periodically throughout the year, CCPD officers, in cooperation with other campus departments and student clubs,
present crime prevention awareness sessions on sexual assault, theft and vandalism, as well as educational
sessions on personal safety.
In the last year, CCPD has provided almost a dozen training sessions on Emergency Preparedness and Disaster
Response to the campus community. This was done in conjunction with a complete rewrite of the District’s
Emergency Operation Plan and campus wide drills to test the new plan. Efforts to educate the community will
continue, along with expanded, multi-agency drills.
The Campus Police department has made focused efforts to educate and inform the campus community about its
number one crime problem, the theft of unattended property. By using various media outlets on campus and
through the distribution of information cards in areas attractive to thieves, the police department has increased
awareness and solicited the help of campus members in protecting personal property.
A common theme of all awareness and crime prevention programs is to encourage students and employees to be
aware of their responsibility for their own security and the security of others.
In addition to seminars, information is disseminated to students and employees through crime prevention
awareness fliers, security alerts, and articles in the campus and student newspapers.
PREVENTION
In addition to routine vehicle patrol, campus police officers and police cadets participate in bicycle patrol, allowing
better accessibility by students as well as more effective patrol of inner portions of the campus.
Crime prevention programs on personal safety and theft prevention are sponsored by various campus
organizations throughout the year. CCPD personnel facilitate programs for students, faculty and new employees
providing a variety of educational strategies and tips on how to protect themselves from sexual assault, theft and
other crimes.
At least once a year, the police department and members of the student government team up for a “safety walkof
the campus. These safety walks supplement ongoing efforts to evaluate areas such as lighting, landscaping,
building access, and emergency phones to best increase security.
The department provides an escort service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, personnel are available to
assist with dead car batteries or keys locked in cars.
SAFETY TIPS
Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. Know what is typical and what is not.
Report all crimes and suspicious activity to Campus Police immediately.
Avoid walking alone after dark. Make arrangements to travel with friends along a well-lit route, or request
an escort from Campus Police.
Most crimes on campus are thefts of unattended property. Do not leave purses, backpacks, books, etc.
unattended, even for a minute.
Know the location of Emergency Phones and Pay Phones in the areas you frequent.
Never leave valuables visible from ou
tside your vehicle. Lock all property including books, purses and
backpacks in your trunk or take them with you.
Lock your office door if working after hours
Let others know where you are going, especially if you might be there alone.
If you are uncomfortable, go to where there are other people.
Headphones can eliminate your ability to be aware of your surroundings.
Move confidently at a steady pace and make eye contact with people.

SAFETY POLICIES
The Cerritos College Board of Trustees has adopted numerous policies addressing safety issues on campus. Some
of these include:
SECURITY OF AND ACCESS TO FACILITIES
During business hours, the District will be open to students, employees, contractors, and community members.
During non-business hours, access to all District facilities is by key, if issued, or by admittance via the Campus
Police Department. In the case of periods of extended closing, the District will admit only those with prior written
approval to all facilities. Cerritos College does not have student housing.
Some facilities may have individual hours, which may vary at different times of the year. In these cases, the
facilities will be secured according to schedules developed by the department responsible for the facility.
Emergencies may necessitate changes or alterations to any posted schedules. Areas that are revealed as
problematic will have regular periodic security surveys. The Vice Presidents of Student Services and Business
Services, and managers from the Campus Police Department, Facilities Department, and other concerned areas
review these results. These surveys examine security issues such as landscaping, locks, alarms, lighting, and
communications. Additionally, the Director of Physical Pl
ant and Construc
tion Services, and the Chief of Campus
Police co-chair the District Committee on Safety which consists of representatives from the various constituencies
on campus and meets on a monthly basis to discuss issues of pressing concern. (AP §3501)
WEAPO
NS
Firearms, knives, explosives, or other dangerous objects, including but not limited to any facsimile
fir
earm, knife, or
explosive, are prohibited on all District grounds, except as authorized by law.
ALCOHOL AND ILLEGAL DRUG POSSESSION, USE AND SALE
The poss
ession, sale or the furnishing of alcohol on campus is governed by California state law and these
procedures. The possession, sale, consumption or furnishing of alcohol is controlled by the California Department
of Alcohol and Beverage Control. However, the enforcement of alcohol laws on-campus is the primary responsibility
of the Campus Police Department. The campus has been designated “Drug free” and only under certain
circumstances is the consumption of alcohol permitted. The po

ure or distribution of any
controlled substance is illegal under both state and federal laws. Such laws are strictly enforced by the Campus
Police Department. Violators are subject to disciplinary action, criminal prosecution, fine and imprisonment. It is
unlawful to sell, furnish or provide alcohol to a person under the age of 21. The possession of alcohol by anyone
less than 21 years of age in a public place or a place open to the public is illegal.
It is also a violation of thi
s policy
for anyone to consume or possess alcohol in any public or private area of campus without prior District approval.
Organizations or groups violating alcohol or substance policies or laws may be subject to sanctions by the District.
Alcoholic beverages on campus are permitted if:
The alcoholic beverage is for use in connection with a course of instruction, sponsored dinner or meal
demonstration given as part of a culinary arts program, and the instructor or individual has been authorized
to acquire, possess, use, sell, or consume it by the President/Superintendent;
The alcoholic beverage is possessed, consumed or sold during a special event, which is sponsored by the
Cerritos College Foundation and authorized by the President/Superintendent, where the principal
attendees are members of the general public or invited guests and not students;

EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND EVACUATION ROCEDURES
General information about the emergency response and evacuation procedures for the District is
publicized each
year as part of the District’s Clery Act compliance efforts and that information is
available at www.cerritoscollege.us.
All members of t
he campus community are notified on an annual basis that they are required to notify
the Campus Police Department of any incident on campus that involves a significant emergency or
dangerous situation that may involve an immediate or ongoing threat to the health and safety of
students and employees on campus. The Campus Police Department has the responsibility of
responding to, and summoning the necessary resources, to mitigate, investigate, and document an
y
situation that may cause a significant emergenc
y or dangerous situation. In addition, Campus Police
has a responsibility to respond to such incidents to determine if the situation does in fact, pose a threat
to the community. If so, federal law requires that the institution immediately notify the campus
community or the appropriate segments of the community that may be affected by the situation.
Upon confirmation or verification by the District that a legitimate emergency or dangerous situation
involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus,
the District will determine the content of the message and will use some or all of the systems
described below to communicate the threat to the campus community or to the appropriate segment
of the community, if the threat is limited to a particular building or segment of the population. The
District will, without delay
, take into account the safety of the
community, determine the content of the
Page 6 of 12
notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the judgment of the
first responders (including, but not limited to Campus Police), compromise the efforts to assist a victim
or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
In the event of a ser
ious incident that poses an immediate threat to members of the campus community,
the District has various systems in place for communicating information quickly. Some or all of these
methods of communication may be activated in the event of an immediate threat to the campus
community. These methods of communication include network emails, emergency text messages that
can be sent to a phone or Personal Digital Assistant (individuals can sign up for this service on the
District w
ebsite), public
address system, phone calling trees, District website and emergency
messages that scroll across display screens in campus buildings. The District will post
updates during a critical incident on the District website at
www.cerritos.ed
u. Individuals can
call the District’s recorded information telephone line at (562) 860-2451 for updates. Cerritos College
students, staff, faculty and others can sign up for emergency text message alerts at
www.cerritoscollege.us or text keyword "CCALERTS" to 888777 from their mobile phones.
The District’s Director of Public & Governmental Relations will be responsible for the dissemination of
emergency information to the larger community through media alerts.
TESTING EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND EVACUATION PROCEDURES
An evacuation drill is coordinated by the Campus Police Department at least once per year for all
facilities on campus. Students learn the locations of the emergency exits in the buildings and are
provided guidance about the direction they should travel when exiting each facility for a short-term
building evacuation.
Evacuation drills are monitored by the Campus Police Department and District administration to
evaluate egress and behavioral patterns. Reports are prepared by participating departments which
identify deficient equipment so that repairs can be made immediately. Recommendations for
improvements are also submitted to the appropriate departments and offices for consideration.
The District conducts numerous announced and unannounced drills and exercises each year and
conducts follow- through activities designed for assessment and evaluation of emergency plans and
capabilities. Campus Police and District administration coordinate announced and unannounced
evacuation drills at least once per year, as described above, to test the emergency response and
evacuation procedures, and to assess and evaluate the emergency evacuation plans and
capabilities.
For each test c
onducted, Campus Police will document a description of the exercise, the
date, time, and whether it was announced or unannounced. The District will publish a summary of its
emergency response and evacuation procedures in conjunction with at least one drill or exercise each
calendar year.
In the event of an emergency, natural disaster or the occurrence of a hazardous condition the District
will activate its plan and procedures to protect and govern employees, students, visitors, and children
in childcare programs on campus and/or in district-owned or operated facilities. The District shall
maintain an emergency management team to aid in the creation, maintenance, updating, and
implementation of its emergency plan and procedures.
SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
Any
sexual assault or physical abuse, including, but not limited to, rape, domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, or stalking, as defined by California law, whether committed by an employee,
student, or member of the public, occurring on District property, in connection with all the academic,
educational, extracurricular, athletic, and other programs of the District, whether those programs take
place in the District’s facilities or at another location, or on an off-campus site or facility maintained by the
District, or on grounds or facilities maintained by a student organization, or at a District-sponsored activity
on non-District property is a violation of District policies and regulations and is subject to all applicable
Page 7 of 12
punishment, including criminal procedures and employee or student discipline procedures. (Also see BP
5500 titled Standards of Conduct and AP 5520 titled Student Discipline Procedures.)
“Sexual assault” includes but is not limited to, rape, forced sodomy, forced oral copulation, rape by a
foreign object, sexual battery, or threat of sexual assault.
“Dating violence” means violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a
romantic or intimate nature with the victim.
“Domestic violence” includes felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by:
a current or former spouse of the victim;
by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common;
by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse;
by a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under California law; or
by any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person’s acts
California law.
“Stalking” means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a
reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others, or to suffer substantial emotional
distress.
The District has established a Crisis Assessment, Intervention and Response (CAIR) team on campus.
CAIR consists of representatives from Counseling, Student Health and Wellness Services, the Office of
Student Conduct and Grievance, Disabled Students Programs and Services, and Campus Police. CAIR,
with the assistance of outside experts in sex offense education, educates the campus community about
sexual assaults, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking through on-campus training programs.
Literature on these matters, risk reduction and District response is available through Student Health and
Wellness Services and Campus Police.
If you are a vi
ctim of a sexual assault on campus, your first priority should be to get to a place of safety.
You should then obtain necessary medical treatment. The Campus Police Department strongly
advocates that a victim of sexual assault report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor
for evidence collection and preservation. An assault should be reported directly to Campus Police.
Filing a police report with a CCPD officer will not obligate th
e victim to pros
ecute, nor will it subject the
victim to scrutiny or judgmental opinions from officers. Filing a police report will:
Ensure that a victim of a sexual assault receives the necessary medical treatment and tests, at
no expense to the victim
Provide the opportunity for collection of evidence helpful in prosecution, which cannot be
obtained be obtained later (ideally a victim of sexual assault should not wash, douche, use
the toilet, or change clothing prior to a medical/legal exam)
Assure the victim has access to free confidential counseling from counselors specifically trained
in the area of sexual assault crisis intervention
When a sexual assault is reported to Campus Police, Campus Police may, with the victim’s consent,
notify other personnel as necessary to provide care and services to the victim. These personnel include
the President/Superintendent; Vice President of Student Services; Dean of Student
Services/Coordinator of Student Conduct and Grievance, Director of Diversity, Benefits and Compliance;
and/or the Associate Dean of Student Health and Wellness Services.
A student who alleges being a victim of a sexual assault may choose for the investigation to be
pursued through the criminal justice system and the Office of Student Conduct and Grievance, or only
Page 8 of 12
the latter. A representative from the Police Department or the Office of Student Conduct and
Grievance will guide the victim through the available options and support the victim in his or her
decision. Various counseling options are available from the College through Student Health and
Wellness Services and/or the Employee Assistance Program. Counseling and support services outside
the District system are available by contacting the National Sexual Assault Hotline at (800) 656-HOPE
(1-800-656-4673).
District disciplinary proceedings are detailed in the Cerritos College General Catalog. Both the victim
and accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a disciplinary
proceeding. Both the victim and accused will be informed of the outcome of any hearing. A student
found guilty of violation of the District sexual misconduct policy could be criminally prosecuted in the
state courts and may be suspended or expelled from the District for the first offense. Student
victims
have the option t
o change their academic situation after an alleged sexual assault, if such changes are
reasonably available.
SEX OF
FENDER REGISTRATION
Sex offenders are required to register with the police in the jurisdiction in which they reside and at
institutions of higher learning if they are students or if they work as employees, contractors, or volunteers.
Sex offenders who may be required to register should do so at the Cerritos College Police Department,
located on the south side of campus at 11090 New Falcon Way, Cerritos CA 90703.
Information regarding registered sex offenders in the state of California can be obtained through the
Megan’s’ Law web site, located at www.meganslaw.ca.gov.
This information is also available, to the
public, at some local police departments and sheriff’s offices.
The Cerritos College Police Department does not provide public access to the Department of Justice
Megan’s Law program. There are several agencies in the local community where a member of the public
can access this information.
Public access to viewing the Megan’s Web program is generally by appointment, and it is recommended
that you call the agency before going to find out what hours the information is accessible.
