Crime & Safety Report

 

"Your Right to Know"

 

This document is provided in compliance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998 (formerly the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990).

 

Crime Statistics

The Bellevue College (BC) Public Safety Department maintains statistical crime data. Crime statistics for the most recent three-year period including incidents reported to local law enforcement are maintained.  These statistics also reflect incidents reported to the BC Public Safety Department from off-campus affiliated locations.

Sex Offender Registry and Access to Related Information

The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, enacted on October 28, 2000, went into effect October 28, 2002. The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. Information that is relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract the danger created by a particular offender is released pursuant to RCW 4.24.550.

The BC Public Safety Department maintains records of sex offenders who have been brought to the attention of BC Public Safety Department by the Seattle Police Department or King County Sheriff's Office, as well as other law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the King County Sheriff's Office maintains an online registry of Level II and Level III sex offenders who are registered to live in King County. You can search for offenders by Zip Code or by an offender's name. Washington State Law permits notifications about Level III offenders that include relevant, accurate and necessary information. This information may be disclosed to the public at large.
