Officers also investigate criminal incidents, and where appropriate, file charges with the State Attorney s Office.

9 Campus Security Report Reporting Crime If you become the victim of and/or witness to a crime, immediately report the incident to university police. The sooner a crime is reported, the better the chances become that the police will solve the crime, apprehend the suspect(s), and/or recover any property that may have been taken. Police Officers generally take the information reported and develop additional information through their investigation. As a complainant, your observations and eyewitness account remains a vital link to the solution of the crime.

Chairs too! IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY DIAL 911 or FAMU DPS Confidential Reporting Procedures If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the university system or the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider making a confidential report to one of the Campus Security Authorities. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others. With such information, the University can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or assailant, and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crimes statistics for the institution. A daily log is maintained of all crimes reported to the department. The log lists the nature of the crime, the date, time and general location, as well as the disposition of the complaint if known. Entries or updates may be withheld if the information is protected by statute, or if there is a danger to the victim or a need to keep the investigation confidential. If there is reason to believe the release of information will result in the perpetrator fleeing the area, or that evidence will be destroyed, the information also may be withheld until the jeopardy no longer exists. The daily log is open to public inspection at the police station, and on the departmental website, for the most recent 60-day period. Data older than 60 days will be made available within two business days of a request for public inspection.

Emergency messages give immediate information on threats to the campus and instructions on avoidance of the pending danger. All persons are strongly encouraged to respond accordingly. Students, faculty, staff and visitors should ALWAYS pay close attention to instructions during an emergency. LISTEN Information on what you should and should not do is provided for your safety. FOLLOW the directions given during emergency situations. If there is a need to evacuate, it will be communicated to you. e2campus With the e2campus, the FAMU Department of Public Safety sends instant alerts to all students, faculty & staff's cell phone, , pager and web page automatically all at once from one easy-to-use interface.

12 Campus Security Report E m e r g e n c y R e s p o n s e a n d Evacuation Procedures Florida routinely faces tornados, hurricanes, and severe lightning storms, along with ever present risks of hazardous materials and civil unrest. Plans are therefore developed to address those emergency situations as well. The DPS follows established University policies and procedures in the event of a significant emergency or dangerous situation on campus. Timely Warning and Emergency Notification In the event that a situation arises, either on or off campus, that, in the judgment of the FAMU Chief of Police or designee, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus-wide timely warning will be issued. The warnings will be issued through any means appropriate to include the university system, DPS website, posted flyers, etc. Depending on the particular incident, especially in all situations that could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the FAMU Department of Public Safety (DPS) may also issue warnings through the University s e2campus emergency notification system. This web-based system sends instant alerts to all students, faculty and staff cell phones, , and/or pagers providing the university community with more immediate notification. When notification is necessary due to an immediate and serious threat to public safety, the FAMU DPS will alert the campus community utilizing its Emergency Siren System. The system delivers an audible tone followed by a voice message to the community of the immediate threat. To alert students and staff at the FAMU College of Law in Orlando, an intercom system is used. Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to the Department of Public Safety by phone , or in person at campus police headquarters at 2400 Wahnish Way, room 128. For information affecting students and staff at the FAMU College of Law in Orlando, the DPS Satellite Unit/Security Desk may be contacted at Upon confirmation that an emergency situation exists and an initial assessment is made, police personnel will take immediate control of the scene and initiate all standard response procedures. These procedures call for the notification of the appropriate agencies/personnel to assist in containing the threat or implementing evacuation measures if warranted. Note: At all times, community safety will dictate the content and method of notification. A notification will not be issued when by doing so, it compromises efforts to assist a victim, or contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. Students and employees are notified of the emergency via e2campus Emergency Notification System, Federal Warning Siren System, University Accounts, and/or Police Car Mounted Intercom. As directed by Police Command Personnel, the Police Communication Operator (PCO) activates the appropriate notification system for the emergency event. Use of additional media outlets for off campus dissemination of information shall be used as deemed appropriate. The Department of Public Safety conducts a monthly test of the Emergency Notification Systems on the first Wednesday of each month. This test is unannounced and the time is staggered. Tests documentation is logged and maintained in the police communications center.

13 Notification Procedures for Missing Person in Student Housing Campus Security Report Florida A&M University values the students safety greatly and endeavors to provide sufficient personnel and programs to enhance the students safety within the University community. Therefore, in the event that a student that resides in on-campus housing should be reported missing and determined by the appropriate authority that the missing person report is valid; the staff will adhere to the following policy and procedures. The Higher Education Act of 2008 provides all students the opportunity to register a confidential contact person with the University Housing Department. The confidential contact does not have to be a parent or guardian of a student; however, we encourage the use of a parent or guardian as the contact person. The name of the contact person is the individual that will be contacted by the Associate Vice President of Student Life and Dean of Students or his designee in the event the student is reported missing. The contact person will be provided informational updates regarding the investigation s progress by law enforcement personnel. At the beginning of each academic year, the Director of University Housing will inform all students residing in on campus housing facilities that the Associate Vice President of Student Life and Dean of Students or his designee will notify either a parent, guardian, or an individual selected by the student not later than 24 hours after the time that the student is determined to be missing. The information that will be provided to the residents will include the following procedures. Procedures Emergency Contact Information Designation. Resident students have the option of identifying an individual to be contacted by the Associate Vice President of Student Life and Dean of Students or his designee not later than 24 hours after the time that the student has been determined to be missing. Students can register this confidential contact information through the Resident Director of the student s assigned residential facility. Students age 18 and over or emancipated minors will be given the opportunity during each semester to designate an individual or individuals to be contacted by the college no more than 24 hours after the time that the student is determined to be missing in accordance with procedures in this policy. A designation will remain in effect until changed or revoked by the student. In the event a student is under the age of 18 that is not emancipated and determined to be missing pursuant to the procedures listed below, the University is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian no more than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing in accordance with procedures. The FAMU Department of Public Safety (DPS) shall be notified, or the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction, shall be notified not later than 24 hours after the time that the student is determined to be missing. If the DPS and/or the local law enforcement agency has been notified and makes a determination that a student is the subject of a missing person report, has been missing for more than 24 hours and has not returned to campus, the Associate Vice President of Student Life and Dean of Students will initiate the emergency contact procedure in accordance with the student's designation. Official Notification Procedures for Missing Person. Any individual on campus who has information that a residential student may be a missing person should notify the University Housing Department main office at during regular business hours; or during after hours; the residential facility office that the student is assigned, or the FAMU Department of Public Safety at , as soon as possible. The DPS will gather all essential information regarding the residential student from the reporting person and from the student s acquaintances. The DPS staff will seek information regarding the student s description, clothes last seen wearing, possible location, who student may be with, vehicle description, student s physical and mental state, an up-to-date photograph, class schedule, etc. Appropriate campus staff and faculty will be notified to aid in the search of the student. If the above actions are unsuccessful in locating the student or it is apparent immediately that the student is a missing person (i.e., a witnessed abduction), the DPS staff will contact the appropriate local law enforcement agency to report the student as a missing person and work collaboratively with the local law enforcement agency. No later than 24 hours after determining that a residential student is missing, the Associate Vice President of Student Life and Dean of Students or his designee will notify the emergency contact person of students 18 and over or the parent/guardian of students under the age of 18 that the student is believed to be missing.

15 Campus Security Report While Walking On or Off Campus If you are being harassed by a person in a vehicle, turn and walk in the opposite direction. Try to head for lights and people. Never hitchhike or accept rides from a stranger. If you feel you must give directions to a driver or pedestrian, maintain enough distance to prevent being grabbed and dragged into the car or an alley. Avoid working late at night or on weekends in isolated offices or labs.. Trust your instincts when you sense danger. Don t be embarrassed to make a scene if you feel you are in danger. Safety Tip There are no guarantees against being a victim. Assailants select their victims based on desire they seek an opportunity. Being aware and versed on various safety tips/strategies can help you reduce the opportunity and make you less vulnerable. At Home or In Residence Hall Never prop doors open or let someone into the residence hall you don t know. Remember, all visitors to the residence hall must be cleared at the entrance desk or office. Don t open your home or room to strangers utility companies furnish ID badges. Be suspicious of door-to-door solicitors. Never reveal your phone number to a wrong number caller - never listen to heavy breathers or obscene callers - hang up immediately. Lock your apartment or residence hall doors as soon as you enter or leave. Don t lend your keys to anyone period! If you notice any signs of forced entry when you come home, DON T ENTER. Go to a neighbor and call the police. Never leave messages on your door or advertise that you live alone. Always have your keys out and ready when you come to your door. Don t hide an extra key outside. Rapist and burglars know all the best spots. Be wary of a neighbor or casual acquaintance that makes it a habit of dropping in when no one else is home. Off Campus Living Report crimes to the Police Department having jurisdiction in that area. You should obtain the telephone number of that agency and its location. Remember, if it is an emergency, simply dial 911. If you are not sure which agency to call, call the FAMU Department of Public Safety at and we will provide assistance. Apartment complexes, townhouses, condominium communities and other multi-family dwellings pose unique security problems because of the temporary nature of many residents of lease/rental properties.

Under current law, hazing by a college student may subject that student to university or college discipline. Hazing incidents may lead to criminal prosecution under general criminal but there are impediments that make such prosecutions difficult. This bill creates new criminal offenses specific to hazing at the high school or college level. This bill provides that it is a first degree misdemeanor to commit an act of hazing that creates a substantial risk of physical injury or death. The offense level increases to a third degree felony if the act of hazing actually results in serious bodily injury or death. This bill also expands the definition of hazing, and provides a limited exception for certain legitimate activities. This act is named for Chad Meredith, a student at a Florida university who died in a hazing incident. Chad Meredith s Story In 2001, University of Miami student Chad Meredith returned from a concert and began drinking with two officers of Kappa Sigma, a fraternity he wished to join. After several hours of drinking, the group tried to swim across Lake Osceola near campus. Meredith had a blood alcohol level of He drowned 34 feet from shore in six feet nine inches of water. Although, the fraternity officers protested that the incident was not a fraternity-sanctioned hazing event, a jury found otherwise, and awarded the deceased student s family a $12.6 million verdict in a negligence suit based on hazing.

25 Campus Security Report Answer Key 1. True. All students enrolled at FAMU are expected to act in accordance with State and federal laws and the University s Student Conduct Code. Hazing is illegal in Florida (misdemeanor and felony violation), against the Student Conduct Code, and against the rules of sports teams, fraternities/sororities, and all student organizations. 2. True When it comes to reporting hazing, remember this: Reporting an incident of hazing is not about getting people in trouble it is about keeping people safe. If you are truly concerned about the personal health and safety of someone, we know that you would do anything to get them out of harm s way. Reporting a hazing activity to the FAMU Police Department is the best way to do this. However, reporting hazing without providing your name limits the University s ability to stop the behavior. Reporting a hazing incident without leaving a name or contact number is considered anonymous reporting. Providing limited information with no contact information may not be enough to prevent hazing activities or hold individuals and organizations accountable. 3. False Organizations can be held accountable for hazing even if the leaders of the group are not informed or involved in the activity. This was true in Chad Meredith s case, and his organization was ordered to pay $12.6 million to his family. That is why it is essential that EVERY student in your organization understand that they hold the future of the group in their hands even when they act alone. We strongly recommend that every group discuss Florida s laws and FAMU s policies about hazing openly and often. 4. False The Chad Meredith Act, the State of Florida s law on hazing, specifically states that willing participation is not an acceptable defense to hazing. In other words, even if people agree to participate in an activity, individuals and organizations can still be found responsible for hazing. It s the law. 5. True. The circumstances surrounding Chad Meredith s death and hazing are: (a) Mr. Meredith was joining a social fraternity that was in good standing at the University of Miami; (b) He and several members of the organization drank alcohol, and then while still intoxicated, tried to swim across a lake near campus; (c) Mr. Meredith drowned in six feet of water; (d) The fraternity had not sponsored any official fraternity activities that evening, nor were members of the fraternity s executive board present at the incident. Although, the fraternity officers protested that the incident was not a fraternity-sanctioned event, a jury found otherwise, and awarded the deceased student s family a $12.6 million verdict in a negligence suit based on hazing. All members of student organizations need to be educated on the consequences of hazing. It should be emphasized that all members hold the future of their organization in their hands when they participate in hazing activities. 6. True. Individual organizations and sports teams can raise higher standards for their members (e.g., grade point average, community service hours, skill and safety training, risk management training). But, the laws of Florida and the Student Conduct Code at FAMU establish the minimum behavior expected of all students. 7. False. It is not difficult to instill membership within a group without hazing. In fact, it is the minimum expectation of all students and organizations at FAMU that membership and affiliation will be developed without hazing. One way to test whether or not an activity is hazing is to ask the question, How does this activity contribute to a new member s understanding of what it means to be a part of our organization? If the answer is: to bring the new members together Or, to increase their commitment to our group then read FAMU s definition of hazing to make sure that the activity doesn t violate the policy. The administration, faculty, and staff at FAMU believe that all students should be able to participate in campus activities free of concerns of hazing. There are many ways to accomplish group commitment without engaging in hazing activities. 8. D Since physical conditioning is a required component of participation in ROTC or any athletic team, it is not considered hazing when completed at reasonable hours of the day, supervised by a staff member, and in accordance with the normal functioning of the organization. However, asking new members to complete unnecessary tasks for certain members of the organization could be considered hazing. 9. B Hazing that causes a substantial risk of physical injury or death can be tried in a court of law as a first degree misdemeanor. 10. C Hazing that causes serious bodily injury or death will be considered a third degree felony. Remember, if the risk for these conditions are present, the hazing activity will be considered a first degree misdemeanor under the law. 11. F Hazing can occur in any type of organization with any type of structure. Members of all organizations must be informed about the University s Student Code of Conduct and the state and federal laws regarding hazing. 12. B Organizations that are accepting new members may ask the new members to learn the history of the organization and present this information to other members of the organization (including alumni members). But, the process of learning and sharing the information cannot demean, disgrace, degrade, or cause discomfort to the new members. Also, it may not occur at times that would interrupt normal patterns of sleep.
