investigates all felonies, including those covered by the California Vehicle Code. All felony crimes that take place on campus are immediately reported to the police department.


Viewing Megan's Law

Megan's Law (AB 488) signed by the Governor on September 24, 2004 has directed the Office of the Attorney General to provide the public with Internet access to detailed Megan's Law information on the the identities and whereabouts of approximately 63,000 registered offenders residing in California. This information can now be accessed at http://MegansLaw.ca.gov.

California's Megan's Law provides the public with certain information on the the whereabouts of sex offenders so that members of our local communities can protect themselves and their children. The law is not intended to punish the offender and specifically prohibits using the information to harass or commit any crime against the offender.
