1. This institution does not employ campus security personnel but encourages both its employees and students to immediately report suspected criminal activity or other emergencies to the nearest available institutional official and/or in the event of emergency to directly contact local law enforcement or other emergency response agencies by dialing “911″.

 

• All students and employees are required to report any crime or emergency to their institutional official promptly.  If a student or employee wishes to report a crime on a voluntary or confidential basis, the institutional official will be prepared to record and report the crime, but not the name of the informant.  The student or employee may, in order to maintain confidentiality, submit the information in writing to his/her institutional official without signature.  If the student wishes not to maintain confidentiality, the student will contact his/her teacher or school official who in turn will contact the nearest supervisor to report criminal actions or emergencies to the appropriate agency by calling (911).

 

Preparation for the Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics report is obtained by the institution’s secretary who contacts the correct police department District for statistics and the institution’s “Daily Incident Log”, and then records those statistics.

• Employees shall contact their immediate or nearest ranking supervisor to report any criminal action or emergency to the appropriate agency by calling (911).  If possible, in the interim, the security guard(s) and or institutional official shall attempt to non-violently deal with the crime or emergency with the appropriate agency on campus.  Individual discretion must be used, as undue risk should not be taken.
