Who to contact to report an incident at Monica Heslin, School Director
the Institution

General Information:

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 School Director in the event of
emergency to directly contact local law enforcement or other emergency response agencies by dialing (911).

2. All students and employees are encouraged to report any crime or emergency to the School Director promptly.
If a student or employee wishes to report a crime on a voluntary or confidential basis, the School Director 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 the School Director without signature. If
the student wishes not to maintain confidentiality, the student may contact the School Director to report
criminal actions or emergencies to the appropriate agency by calling (911).

Preparation for the Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics report is made 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.

3. Only students, employees and other parties having business with this institution should be on institutional
property. Staff, faculty, students, and prospective students or any person entering the premises must have and
display at all times a security identification badge. Those without an identification badge must sign in at the
entrance and identify their purpose of visit, the person to be visited and register their time in and out of the
building. The visitor must also wear a visitor’s badge while on campus. All rear access doors leading to the
campus are closed and locked during evening hours starting at 5:00pm. When the school closes for the night,
the school’s official or supervisor will inspect each floor to see that it is empty and then set the alarms on each
floor and then lock down the campus. Other individuals present on institutional property at any time without
the express permission of the appropriate institutional official(s) shall be viewed as trespassing and may as such
be subject to a fine and/or arrest. In addition, students and employees present on institutional property during
periods of non-operation without the express permission of the appropriate institutional official(s) shall also be
viewed as trespassing and may also be subject to a fine and/or arrest.

4. Current policies concerning campus law enforcement are as follows:

a) Institution’s officials have no powers of arrest other than the Citizens Arrest Law, and are required
in the event of a crime or emergency to call the correct agency or dial (911) for the police and
emergency services. The Citizens Arrest Law will be invoked only as a last resort, and after all
other possibilities have been explored.
b) Employees should contact the School Director 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
School Director 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.
c) The institution does not provide pastoral or professional counseling (mental health or otherwise),
other than the student or employee is encouraged to seek such aid. Personal counseling offered by
the institution will be limited to initial crisis assessment and referral.
