From the Sacramento State Police Department

In compliance with the provisions of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, the Sacramento State Police Department is providing this information for the purpose of promoting campus safety and to aid in the investigation and prevention of similar crimes.

Bike and Scooter Thefts

Within the last several weeks, the Sacramento State Police Department has received several reports of stolen electric scooters, electric bicycles, and bicycles on campus. These thefts have occurred at the Jenkins Hall, Klamath Hall, and Hornet Commons bike compounds.

Sacramento State police apprehended two suspects in the act last night, but several others have been seen. Please look at the photos below.

We encourage everyone to register their bike or scooter with the Sacramento State Police Department for free. We also recommend using high-quality locks, such as U-locks, to secure scooters and bikes to a bike rack, or park and lock them in a staffed bike compound.

Sacramento State police are actively investigating these crimes. If you have information that could help in these investigations, please contact the Police Department at 916-278-6000.

Safety Information

Sacramento State is committed to maintaining a safe campus for all members of the University community. No one deserves to be victimized in any way; crimes are 100 percent the responsibility of the perpetrator. With this in mind, Sacramento State suggests the following tips for keeping our community safe and reducing personal risk.

Be an active bystander. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, intervene if you can do so safely, and report the incident to campus authorities
Only use designated bike compounds and racks. Lock your bike or scooter to a permanent, anchored bike rack around campus. Do not lock your bike or scooter to trees, handrails, posts, or chain link fences.
Avoid leaving your bicycle or electric scooter outside at night if possible.
Using strong locks helps deter bike and scooter thefts.
Register your bicycle or electric scooter with the Sacramento State Police Department. This is a free service! Bikes and scooters can be registered at any staffed bike compound or the Sacramento State Police Department.
