The warning will be issued through the college e-mail system to students, faculty, staff and/or the campus’ student newspaper, The Brookhaven Courier. Depending on the particular circumstances of the crime, especially in all situations that could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the necessary information will be posted on the Web site http://www.dcccd.edu providing the College community with more immediate notification.
