Florida Community College at Jacksonville is dedicated to the provision of a safe working and learning environment for all employees and students. In order for these individuals to promptly report criminal actions or other emergencies, FCCJ maintains a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-per-week, security office at each of its facilities. The College also has a special emergency telephone number, ELK-HELP, manned 24 hours a day with direct radio contact to all College security officers.

FCCJ security officers are unarmed and do not have police powers, but they work closely with local law enforcement agencies on follow-up actions or investigations related to criminal activities on campus. In order to facilitate this relationship, all employees and students are encouraged to promptly report all criminal or suspicious activity to the nearest security office.

A special crime prevention unit associated with the security department conducts crime prevention workshops at each FCCJ campus throughout the year. These programs are open to employees and students alike and are free of charge. In support of this crime prevention effort, this same unit maintains points of distribution for appropriate literature at each campus.

Since the College has no recognized fraternities or other off-campus student organizations, there are no records maintained on liquor, drugs or weapons violations by students associated with such organization.

The College strictly prohibits:

1. consumption of alcohol on campus or at College functions,
2. use, manufacture or possession of illegal drugs or narcotics on campus or at College functions, and
3. carrying any type of weapon, concealed or otherwise, on campus except as part of the law enforcement training program.
