Timely Warning In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f) hereafter referred to as the Clery Act, Black Hawk College will issue Timely Warnings to notify members of the campus community about certain crimes, defined by the Act, when such crimes occur on Black Hawk College campus locations or in close proximity to the campus and the crime represents a serious or continuing threat to members of the campus community. A Timely Warning shall be issued within a reasonable amount of time after the incident has been reported to the Black Hawk College Police Department or a Campus Security Authority. Timely Warnings may also be issued for non-Clery Act crimes. These incidents shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis taking into account the frequency of the offense, likelihood for additional occurrence, continuing danger to the campus community, and risk of compromising law enforcement efforts to resolve the case in a timely manner. Crime Advisory Process The Chief of Police or his/her designee is responsible for consulting with department staff, local police, and other campus authorities in making the determination on a case-by-case basis of when a Timely Warning is appropriate. The Chief of Police or his/her designee shall approve the issuance of a Timely Warning before the advisory is sent to the campus community. The Timely Warning shall be issued using a method that allows for the prompt notification of the campus community. Methods of dissemination include but are not limited to electronicmail, the Black Hawk College police website: http:// www.bhc.edu/on-campus/campus-police/, and myBlackHawk. Additional methods may be utilized when in the opinion of the Chief of Police or his/her designee such methods will be effective in communicating the advisory to select portions of the campus community. Examples of additional methods include the Emergency Notification System, college website, posters, flyers and social media. In compliance with the Clery Act, the following criteria will be evaluated to determine if a Timely Warning will be issued:  Has the incident been reported to the Black Hawk College Police or a Campus Security Authority?  Has the crime or incident been identified as a Clery Act crime?  Is the crime or incident considered to represent a serious or continuing threat to students, faculty, staff, or campus visitors? Timely Warnings shall contain in the subject line the phrase “Timely Warning.” The body of the notification will include, but not limited to: a short description of the crime of incident, time, and date, location, reported offense, weapon used (if any), and suspect vehicle (if any) and method of operation used to facilitate the crime. The notification should also include personal safety information and/or crime prevention tips. When appropriate, status updates as to the resolution and/or disposition of the crime or incident will be similarly disseminated and updated as soon as possible. The Black Hawk College Police Department will maintain a record of all Timely Warning or notifications in the records management system. Reporting Campus community members who know of a crime or other serious incident are encouraged to report that incident as soon as possible so a determination can be made as to issuing an advisory. Fire and Mass Notification System Black Hawk College integrated a fire and mass notification system at the Quad Cities Campus in 2012 and at the East Campus in 2013. The features of this system include audible and visible alarms for various situations that may affect the safety and well-being of our campus community. The system includes campus-wide public address capabilities initiated by campus police to provide up-to-the-minute direction and instruction for urgent situations. The system is monitored at both Black Hawk College Police Department locations, and is tested yearly, and may be used in conjunction with the Emergency Notification System. 6

3. Emergency Response Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures Black Hawk College maintains an all-hazards Campus Emergency Operation and Campus Violence Prevention Plan in coordination with local emergency response agencies. The Chief of police or designee will notify the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of the Black Hawk College community. The validity of existing emergency situations will be confirmed by credible eyewitness reports from Campus Police and college employees. Other officials or emergency management personnel may need to be consulted regarding incidents such as severe weather conditions, hazardous materials spills, or facility related issues. Once the type of emergency and emergency response required has been determined, emergency response resources will be contacted and the appropriate emergency notifications will be promptly disseminated via the emergency notification systems and other information pathways. Taking into account the safety of the community, a determination will be made as to the appropriate segment of the campus community to receive a notification. After determining the content of the notification to be broadcast, Black Hawk College will initiate the emergency notification system. The emergency notifications will be made by Black Hawk College Police officials and will be announced on the interior and exterior public address systems, in person, and via electronic social media. If it is determined the emergency or dangerous situation threatens communities surrounding our campuses, local emergency services will be notified. Emergency notifications may only be withheld if, in the professional judgment of the responsible authorities, the warnings will compromise efforts to assist victims or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. An Emergency Response Guide has been published and distributed to the college community. The guide is also available online at http://www.bhc.edu/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2014/02/ Emergency_Guide_booklet.pdf. The guide provides guidance during incidents of emergency evacuation, reporting an emergency, armed suspect/active shooter, bomb threats, crime reporting, earthquake, explosions, hazardous materials, suspicious mail, distressed/disturbed people, and weather/operating status.

5. Campus Law Enforcement Policy College safety and security is coordinated by the College Police Department. The department has an authorized strength of 20 sworn police officers with full arrest powers and 1 civilian employee. Campus police officers receive their police authority via the Illinois Compiled Statues, Public Community College Act Chapter 11, Act 805, Sec 42.1 (b) which states, “members of the community college district police department, or department of public safety, who are law enforcement officers as defined in the Illinois Police Training Act, shall be peace officers under the laws of this State. As such, law enforcement officers who are members of these departments shall have all of the powers of police officers in cities and sheriffs in counties, including the power to make arrests on view or on warrants for violations of State statutes and to enforce county or city ordinances in all counties that lie within the community college district, when such is required for the protection of community college personnel, students, property or interests.” Commissioned peace officers employed by BHC have jurisdiction within the State of Illinois. Patrol activity includes the boundaries of property owned, leased or otherwise under the control of BHC (Quad Cities Campus, BHC Outreach Center, BHC Community Education Center, BHC Adult Learning Center, and off-campus support facilities) and contiguous areas around each BHC location.

There are no written memorandum’s of understanding between BHC Police Department and the above mentioned agencies. Meetings are held between the leaders of these agencies on both a formal and informal basis. Monitoring and Reporting of Criminal Activity Off-Campus Black Hawk College does not have off campus student organizations and therefore does not monitor off -campus criminal activity. Daily Crime Log The Black Hawk College Police Department maintains a Daily Crime Log that includes the nature, date, time, and general location of each crime reported to the department, as well as the disposition of the complaint, if this information is known at the time the log is created.

BHC will take whatever reasonable action may be needed to prevent, correct, and if necessary, discipline and/or prosecute behavior that violates this policy and the law.

Prosecution may take place in accordance with Illinois criminal law, independent of College actions. Title IX and disciplinary investigations will be conducted with police investigations regarding sexual assault matters. Procedures to Follow Reporting a sexual assault to the BHC Police Department 309-796-5913(QC) 309-854-1784 (EC) may help to prevent another assault. Reporting the incident does not mean that the survivor must proceed with a prosecution. Immediately following an attack, the survivor should try to write down everything he or she remembers about the incident, including the physical description of the suspect(s) and any further information about the identity or location of the suspect(s). Notification of Law Enforcement Victims of sexual assault or persons who have information regarding a sexual assault are strongly encouraged to report the incident to the BHC Police Department or a local police department immediately. It is the policy of the BHC Police Department to conduct investigations of all sexual assault complaints with sensitivity, compassion, patience and respect for the victim. Investigations are conducted in accordance with guidelines established by the Illinois Compiled Statues. All information and reports of sexual assault are kept strictly confidential within the limits of law. Students may also contact local law enforcement agencies. Members of the BHC Police Department and other College offices will assist the student in notifying the appropriate agency in the competent jurisdiction where the assault occurred. Changes in Academic and Living Situation The Dean of Students Office can assist the victim with issues including, but not limited to, class schedule changes, transportation, or withdrawal procedures. Victims who are housing tenants and wish to seek relocation accommodations should contact their landlords (Bluffstone, LLC management for the Villaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Black Hawk and Prairie Pointe Apartments. Procedures for Disciplinary Action A student may also choose to report the assault to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action regardless of whether or not the student has decided to press criminal charges. A student may also file a report of sexual assault against another student, or a faculty or staff member, by directly contacting the Dean of Students. Procedures for resolving complaints regarding sexual harassment and assault are detailed in the Student Handbook. In any case, both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during any disciplinary proceedings. Both the accuser and the accused will be informed of the outcome of any proceedings and both maintain the right to appeal disciplinary actions taken. During any sexual assault complaint proceeding, the College has a wide range of latitude when developing sanctions. Those sanctions may range from probation to expulsion from the College. 13

Campus Sexual Assault Victims' Bill of Rights The United States Congress enacted the "Campus Sexual Assault Victims' Bill of Rights" in 1992 as a part of the Higher Education Act Amendments of 1992. This law requires that all colleges and universities afford sexual assault victims certain basic rights such as:     

Accuser and accused must have the same opportunity to have others present. Both parties shall be informed of the outcome of any disciplinary proceeding. Survivors shall be informed of their options to notify law enforcement. Survivors shall be notified of counseling services. Survivors shall be notified of options for changing academic and living situations.

What to do if you or someone you know is sexually assaulted  Find a safe environment away from your attacker. Ask a trusted friend to stay with you. And, remember, it's not your fault you were attacked.  Preserve evidence of the attack. Though you may want to, do not bathe or brush your teeth. Do not wash or get rid of any of the clothing that you were wearing. If the crime scene is accessible to you, disturb it as little as possible. Don't change or launder bedding. Write down as many details as you can recall.  Obtain a medical examination in all cases of sexual assault or rape. An exam will check for physical injury and the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy. It is important for your well-being. If done promptly, the exam can obtain important evidence that can be used in a criminal prosecution.  Area hospitals that provide thorough rape exams and evidence collection are: Genesis Medical Center Silvis, IL (309) 792-9363 Quad Cities campus area OSF Saint Luke Kewanee, IL (309) 852-7600 East Campus area  Victims are encouraged to have an exam conducted as quickly after the incident as possible.  Contact the police to report the assault. It is important to remember that sexual assault is never the victim's fault and perpetrators should be held accountable. The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where information concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. In Illinois, this information is accessible at the Illinois State Police web site for Sex Offender Registration at http://www.isp.state.il.us/sor/. Illinois Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Information The Illinois State Police have established a statewide Murder and Violent Offender Against Youth Database, accessible on the Internet, identifying violent offenders against youth who have been convicted of certain offenses and/or crimes against children must register as a Violent Offender Against Youth. More information about the registry may be found at http://www.isp.state.il.us/ cmvo/.

Safety Tips Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to who may be walking near you or following you. If something or someone makes you feel uncomfortable, go with your instincts. Drive or move to a well lit public location or a police station, or call someone for help. Avoid being alone in unfamiliar places, especially at night. Enroll in a personal safety course such as RAD (Rape Aggression Defense). These sessions are offered throughout the academic year by the Black Hawk College Police Department. For more information call, (309-796-5913). In acquaintance or dating situations, remain in public or group settings until the person has earned your trust. Set clear boundaries regarding what is and is not acceptable behavior and do not allow yourself to be pressured into going beyond those boundaries. If you feel pressured or strong armed, clearly and loudly state that it is unacceptable and leave the area. Never leave a drink or food unattended in a bar or at a party. If you do leave it unattended or out of your sight, pour it out and get a fresh one. Date rape drugs can quickly be put into a drink without detection.

11. Violence Prevention Campus Violence Prevention Plan Black Hawk College is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and secure educational environment for all employees, students, and visitors. The purpose of this plan is to establish violence prevention measures, support systems, resources and strategies by integrating College policies and procedures regarding violence and threatening behavior, and the prohibition of violence. The College has created a Crisis Intervention Team along with protocols to prevent and respond to acts of violence and/or threats of harm and has also identified resources for victims of violence. This plan provides procedures that address the prevention, response, and management of violent acts or threats of violence, with the overall goal of enhancing the safety of the BHC community. Reporting Process In order to properly document and address unusual, disturbing, or suspicious behaviors or incidents of threats or violence involving students, employees, or visitors, all incidents must be reported to Black Hawk College Police who will be responsible for transmitting the information to the appropriate offices and/or departments, including (if applicable) the Crisis Intervention Team. Immediate Action Required Any incident or behavior that creates an imminent threat or any actual violence should be reported directly to law enforcement. In the case of an imminent threat, call 911 immediately; then notify Black Hawk College Police (309-796-5913) or (309-854-1784 for East Campus).

12. Missing Student Policy If a member of the College community has reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing, as defined by the Clery Act, is missing, he or she should immediately notify the BHC Police Department at 309-7965913 (QC) or 309-854-1784 (EC). BHC Police Department will generate a missing person report and initiate an investigation. After investigating the missing person report, should BHC Police Department determine that the student is missing and has been missing for more than 24 hours, BHC will notify the student’s emergency contact no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. If the missing student is under the age of 18 and is not an emancipated individual, BHC PD will notify the student’s parent or legal guardian immediately after it is determined the student has been missing for more than 24 hours. In addition to registering an emergency contact, students residing in on-campus housing, as defined by the Clery Act, have the option to identify confidentially an individual to be contacted by BHC in the event the student is determined to be missing for more than 24 hours. If a student has identified such an individual, BHC will notify that individual no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. Students who wish to identify a confidential contact can do so through housing management.

15. How We Compile These Statistics The BHC Police Department collects the crime statistics disclosed in the charts through a number of methods. Campus police officers enter all reports of crime incidents made directly to the department through manual records check and report management systems. After an officer submits the report, a department administrator reviews the report to ensure it is appropriately classified in the correct crime category. The department periodically examines the data to ensure that all reported crimes are recorded in accordance with the crime definitions outlined in the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook and the FBI National Incident-Based Reporting System Handbook (sex offenses only). The BHC Police Department contacts all local jurisdictions surrounding campus and non-campus locations, teaching facilities, and support facilities to include applicable crimes from those locations. All agencies were contacted via U.S. Certified Mail and responded. Moline Police (information was provided); East Moline Police Department (information was provided); Rock Island Police Department (no information provided); Kewanee Police Department (no information was provided), the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office (no information provided), and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office (no information provided). Information provided by Moline Police Department and Rock Island County Sheriff was not available in a useable format for Clery reporting. In addition, the BHC Police Department collaborates with the Dean of Students Office and other Campus Security Authorities to make sure all other statistics are compiled and included.

Table 3. Fire Drill Information Fire Drill Procedures

All resident assistants are trained to be evacuation assistants. Training is conducted at the beginning of the fall semester. When the fire alarm is activated, the evacuation assistants are trained to guide all residents to the nearest exit, and assemble 150 ft of the building upwind of any fire and away from any emergency crews, to pre-determined assembly areas. Assembly areas are subject to change depending on the circumstances related to the fire. Student tenants upon reception of the rooms shall be given information concerning fire drills and evacuation procedures. Conspicuous signs shall be present to identify closest and most appropriate exits and shall be posted according to NFPA guidelines. Evacuation drills shall occur at various times, both announced and unannounced and shall involve the participation of the students, staff, and resident assistants. One announced fire drill is coordinated with the Tenant Orientation & Fire Safety Training during the first week of classes of each academic year. Evacuation Procedures The following outlines the specific instructions in the event of a fire:  If a fire is noticed, leave the hazard area. Do not risk a life by remaining in the unsafe building.  If operating a heat source or flame, please extinguish it before exiting the building, if possible. Only use a portable fire extinguisher to control a small fire or assist yourself or someone else to evacuate the area. Remember, not all fire extinguishers are effective on all types of fires; so do not try to extinguish the fire unless you have been properly trained.  Do not fight the fire if it is already beginning to spread beyond the location where it started, if you can’t fight the fire with your back to an exit, or if the fire can block your only exit.  On the way out of the building, pull a fire alarm system pull station. It may be necessary to break the glass or raise the pull station cover in order to pull the alarm. Some common locations of pull stations are at stairwell doors and exits.  By sounding the alarm, occupants of the building are notified of a fire hazard and should evacuate the building. However, most importantly, the Black Hawk College Police, facilities department and the appropriate fire department jurisdiction are notified immediately in the event that the alarm is sounded. 38
