Annual Security Report
In accordance with the Clery Act, ¶¶êŽÉñÆ÷publishes an annual security report disclosing campus security policies and three years of selected crime statistics, as well as information about crimes that might pose a threat to the community, basic rights that must be accorded to victims of sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking, and the college policy regarding alcoholic beverages and substance abuse. A printed copy of the report is available, upon request, at the Office of Campus Safety. ¶¶êŽÉñÆ÷'s Annual Security Report includes the Fire Safety Report.
¶¶êŽÉñÆ÷ asks all employees who witness, learn of or hear about a Clery Act crime* to contact the office of campus safety and report what happened and where it happened; you may identify the victim or keep the victim’s identity confidential. Note that pastoral counselors and professional counselors are not required to report crimes unless they have a legal obligation to report a particular crime.
- Just get the facts; you are not a detective and should not investigate the crime.
- Don’t worry about categorizing the crime – campus safety will do that.
- Don’t search for a perpetrator.
- Encourage the victim to report the crime to campus safety; but it is up to them to report.
