Annual Security Report & Daily Crime Log
The Annual Security Report and Daily Crime Log is prepared in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (20 USC 1092(f)). Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) wants all students and employees to take an active role in safety and security. An important part of that process is educating ourselves about potential hazards and about available resources to use when needed.
