Campus Crime Reporting

The Yavapai College Police Department provides crime statistics for all campuses. These statistics can be obtained from the College Police Office, Student Affairs Office or on the College Police website.

Notification of college crime statistics is either mailed in post card format or sent by e-mail each year to currently enrolled students, faculty and staff. Prospective students are advised of the availability of the crime statistics through recruiters and also through the College Police website.  Federal law, through the Department of Education, mandates that Yavapai College provide the college community with this information annually. The annual report is available on the College Police website, and also available for distribution at the College Police Department.
