Sex Offender Registration Requirements & Information—Megan’s
Law
The State of California requires sex offenders to register with the police
in the jurisdiction in which they reside. The State makes this information
available to law enforcement agencies. The information is available to
the public at the local police department. New state law (October, 2002)
also requires sex offenders to register with YCCDPD if they are working
at the college (including contractors) or attend classes. The Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act FERPA) was also amended to make it clear that FERPA
does not prohibit release of data on registered sex offenders under this
law.
Megan’s Law allows the public to view information about “Serious”
and “High Risk” sexual offenders that may be residing in their
community. This enables the public to be aware of potential risks in their
community. The public can then make informed decisions when taking safety
precautions to protect themselves and their children from sex offenders.

Campus Patrols
The Yuba Community College District Police Department uses uniformed
and non-uniformed officers to patrol the campuses in cars, on bicycles
and on foot 24 hours a day (Marysville campus). These patrols are conducted
on the roadways and walkways of the campus, as well as in buildings.
Lighting/Telephones
Yuba Community College District has pay telephones located throughout
the Marysville campus and Woodland campus.
Escort Service
- Marysville Campus: If you feel fearful walking on
campus you may request a safety escort by dialing extension 6771 from
any campus phone or (530) 741-6771 from other phones. If you are calling
after business hours you may call the Campus Police cellular phone at
(530) 870-1158. Provide the YCCDPD Officer with your current location
and intended destination. If there are special circumstances or risks
that you know about, be sure to share them with the officer. Subject
to availability, an officer will be dispatched to your location to walk
with you to your destination. An officer may wish to transport you in
a vehicle if it is more practical based on conditions.
- Woodland Campus: For safety escorts and other Courtesy
service, call (530) 681-8782. (It is a call-forward number to the duty
cell phone.)
Vehicle Jumpstart Courtesy Service
Some of our police vehicles are equipped with battery jumpstart systems
to allow officers to attempt to assist motorists who have discharged batteries.
This service is provided at no charge, subject to officer availability
and is performed only if the vehicle owner accepts the risk of damage.
Normally there is very little risk, however officers are not trained mechanics
and from time to time damage occurs. Persons who have insurance coverage
for jumpstart service or who do not want to accept the risk of damage
should call a professional mechanic.
Programs
Police Cadet Programs
The Police Cadet Program employs a diverse group of Yuba Community
College District students. Its mission is to provide outreach to the campus
community, while helping to deter crime on the campus and parking enforcement.
Police Cadets provide high visibility, uniformed patrol of the campus.
This includes, but is not limited to, the campus, buildings and parking
lots. They act as additional “eyes and ears” to the police
department.
