PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish procedure relative to reporting crimes or emergencies to Campus Police or campus security authorities.
POLICY
All students, employees and visitors to Walters State campuses are encouraged to report all criminal activity, suspected or in progress, to the Campus Police department. Campus Police officers are available at all campus locations with limited availability on the Claiborne campus. All reported incidents of criminal activity will be fully investigated and written reports will be completed. Students and employees may access the campus Crime Watch/Silent Witness form online at the following link Crime Watch Report to submit an anonymous tip or to report a crime without being identified. Emergency telephone numbers may be referenced in Table 10. For facilities that do not house a Campus Police office and are not staffed on a regular basis with certified police officers, students, employees, and visitors are encouraged to contact the local police department by dialing 911 to report crimes or emergencies. Major offenses reported to the campus police department, such as murder, rape, or sale of illegal drugs, are also reported to local and state agencies. Upon receipt of a report regarding any major crime Campus Police, local and/or state agencies will then conduct a joint investigation.

CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OFF CAMPUS

However, Campus Police and the local police share a close working relationship when violations of federal, state or local laws involving students occur.
