Crime Prevention Because many crimes are preventable, CLC’s Police Department encourages students and employees to get involved in protecting themselves and their property and to take responsibility for their own safety and for the safety of others. Here are some of the ways that our department helps students and employees protect themselves: • A 24 hour a day escort service by police personnel is available at the Grayslake Campus. During regular hours of operation, when students are present, this service is also available at the Lakeshore and Southlake Campuses. • In house emergency phone systems provide access to the police dispatcher and the department’s enhanced emergency phone system, which immediately traces each on-campus call to provide the location of a caller in need, even if the call is disconnected. • An electronic alarm system monitors a comprehensive, campus-wide network of panic alarms and intrusion alarm detection devices at the Grayslake Campus only. • Emergency call boxes are located in student parking lots #2 - #5, and staff lots #1, #7 & #8 and outside six main entrances at the Grayslake Campus. • Active Shooter Training conducted by the Professional Development Center approximately 1 times per month during regular semesters. Sessions are held during day and evening hours and at Grayslake, Lakeshore and Southlake Campus locations.

Reporting Procedures The College of Lake County encourages members of the community to accurately and promptly report all crimes and other emergencies to the CLC Police. Grayslake Campus: Report the incident immediately to CLC Police at ext. 5555 on a campus phone, or (847)543-2081. Emergency help is available by dialing 911 (if calling from a cell phone, you must be ready to give your exact location). Phones are strategically located in the hallways of the Main Building and in other campus buildings. Emergency calls are automatically traced by the dispatcher, even when calls are not completed. Lakeshore Campus: Contact the reception desk on the first floor of 33 N. Genesee St. Emergency help is available by dialing 911 (if calling from a cell phone, you must be ready to give your exact location) or 2191 from campus phones. The CLC Police Office is located in Room S126a, in the 33 N. Genesee building. Southlake Campus: Contact the reception desk at the Main Office in Room V130 by dialing 0 from any house phone. Emergency help is available by dialing 911 (if calling from a cell phone, you must be ready to give your exact location). The CLC Police Office is located in Room V132.

Voluntary Confidential Reporting The CLC Police Department encourages anyone who is the victim or witness to any crime to promptly report the incident to the CLC Police. If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the College system or the criminal justice system, you may still consider making a confidential report. With your permission, a CLCPD officer can file a report as to the details of the incident without revealing your identity. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to potentially protect the future safety of yourself and others. With such information, the College can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, employees, and visitors; determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or assailant; and alert the campus community to potential dangers. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crime statistics for the institution, and when they involve allegations of sexual harassment (including sexual violence) those reports will be shared with the College’s Title IX Coordinator. Reporting procedures applicable to allegations of sexual assault are further discussed later in this brochure. The CLCPD annually requests that the Counseling Center staff notify their clients, if and when they deem appropriate, to notify their clients of the confidential reporting procedures of the police department.

The 1998 amendments to 20USC Section 1092(f ) provides that Professional Counselors, when acting as such, are not considered Campus Security Authorities. Counselors are not required to report crimes for inclusion in the annual crime statistics. As a matter of policy and in order to protect and inform members of the community of potential threats on campus, Professional Counselors in the CLC Counseling Center are required to encourage victims and witnesses of crimes to immediately report the crimes to the CLC Police Department. They are additionally required to inform the CLC Police Department of any crimes reported to them, but they are not required to report the name of the reporting person. Professional Counselor is defined as: An employee of an institution whose official responsibilities include providing psychological counseling to members of the institution’s community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification. The College of Lake County does not employ any Pastoral Counselors.

Campus Safety Procedures (All Campuses) Testing Emergency response and Evacuation: One unannounced Fire Drill, including Building Evacuation, is conducted each year in the fall semester on all four campuses. One unannounced Tornado Drill is also conducted each year on all three campuses. Thus, the emergency response and evacuation procedure is tested twice annually. Students learn the location of the emergency exits within the buildings and are provided guidance about the direction they should travel when exiting each facility for a short term building evacuation. CLC Police does not inform students in advance about the designated locations for long term evacuations because those decisions are affected by the time of day, location of the building being evacuated, the availability of the designated gathering locations on campus, and other factors such as the location and nature of the threat. In both cases, College of Lake County Police will communicate information to students regarding the developing situation or any evacuation status changes. The CLC Police Department also provides other support services to the college community. These include: • Parking Control, Traffic Enforcement and preparation/investigation of accident reports. • Motorist assistance with minor problems such as jump starts or recovering keys locked in cars. • Emergency First Aid • Maintenance of the campus Lost and Found. Emergency Preparedness Preparing for any type of emergency that may affect the college is a proactive goal of CLC. This is accomplished in the following ways: • The CLC Alert System is an emergency notification tool used to electronically contact all registered students and staff by text, e-mail and phone when a threat to health or safety is imminent. • Campus Emergency Preparedness Guidelines are used as a resource for students and employees. These are found in classrooms, offices and online. • Fire drills, tornado drills and annual testing of all emergency plans of evacuation procedures on an annual basis. An emergency situation is defined as any event or threat of event at any College of Lake County location that poses a significant risk to the life or safety of individuals, or the security of property, infrastructure or operating systems. 7


Building Evacuation In the event that a building evacuation is necessary, remain calm but leave quickly. Use stairs and not elevators, paying close attention to your surroundings as you exit. Incidents such as fire or hazardous materials releases may require that alternate exit paths be selected. Assist special needs individuals in the evacuation process, if it is possible to do so safely and they wish help. If it is not possible to evacuate special needs individuals from the building, move them to a safe stairwell (farthest from the hazard) and inform responding emergency personnel of their location. Do not use an elevator for evacuation needs. Once outside, stay clear of the building and entryways to facilitate responder access to the emergency. To assist emergency personnel, and for your own safety, go to the designated gathering place for your department, or stay a minimum of 300 feet away from the building. Do not attempt to re-enter the building until you are instructed to do so by the CLC Police Department, Facilities Department, or emergency responders. Do not take it upon yourself to instruct others to re-enter. This will be done by designated emergency personnel only. Safety Coordinators and Administrators should assist others within their work areas in evacuating the building via the nearest accessible exit. They should also assist any disabled individuals in exiting the building or getting to an area of safety. Once outside, they should assist in keeping individuals away from the building and clear from fire lanes. • Depending on the severity of impact on facilities, the CLC Emergency management Team will meet. • In the event that a campus emergency occurs after normal operating hours, the incident Commander (Per NIMS protocol) will contact the Chief of Police and determine if the CLC Emergency Management Team should be contacted.

8


Campus Evacuation In most emergencies, complete evacuation of the entire campus is not necessary. If, however, there is a major incident such as a major hazardous materials release or threat of explosion, it may be necessary to relocate all college individuals to a safer location. Areas nearest to the threat should be evacuated first, and subsequent evacuations should take place in order of proximity to the threat from nearest to farthest. If you are instructed by authorities to evacuate from the campus entirely, do so immediately. Once the campus is evacuated, it will be secured and no one will be allowed to enter without proper authorization. The campus will remain closed until the decision to re-open is made by the CLC Emergency Management Team Safety Coordinators and administrators should assist others within their work areas in evacuating the campus via the nearest accessible exit. They should also assist any disabled individuals in exiting the buildings or getting to an area of safety and notify emergency responders. Once outside, they should assist in keeping individuals away from the building and fire lanes clear.

Crime Alerts and Emergency (Immediate) Notifications Crime Alerts The College of Lake County Police Department is responsible for developing and sending crime alerts to the campus community when a crime occurs that poses a serious or continuing threat to the members of the CLC community. In the event that a crime occurs that poses an ongoing threat on any of the three campuses, an alert will be issued to inform the campus community about the crime. The decision to issue a crime alert is based on the facts surrounding the incident, including the nature of the crime and the continuing threat to the campus community. Crime alerts are issued for specific crime classifications: Arson, Aggravated Assault, Criminal Homicide, Robbery and Sex Offenses, if there is deemed to be a serious continuing threat to the community. Cases of Aggravated Assault and Sex Offenses are considered on a case by case basis, depending on the facts of the case and the information known by CLC Police Department. For example, if an assault occurs between two students who have a disagreement, there may be no on-going threat to the community members and a crime alert would not be distributed. In cases involving Sexual Assault, they are often reported long after the incident occurred, thus there is no ability to issue a “timely� warning to the community. Sex offenses will be considered on a case by case basis depending on when 9


and where the incident occurred, when it was reported, and the amount of information known by the CLC Police Department. Crime Alerts may also be posted for other crime classifications as deemed necessary. To issue a crime alert, the CLC Police inform the campus community via a campus-wide email, addressed staff and faculty. The same email is sent to all students through the Information Technology Department. Additionally, a copy of this notice will be posted in strategic locations throughout the affected campus(es) and sent to the Chronical Student Newspaper Office to further alert the campus community. Immediate Notifications In addition to these crime alerts, upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff, an immediate notification will be sent via SMS text message alert (CLC Alert System). The confirmation of an emergency warranting an immediate notification, the content of the notification and the segments of the community designated to receive such notification will be accomplished by the senior law enforcement authority present at the affected campus. The immediate notification will be issued to the community with the goal of notifying as many people as possible, as rapidly as possible. These immediate notifications and crime alerts will also inform the campus community of any recommended action to be taken or avoided. CLC Police will, without delay, and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise the efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

10


The immediate notifications are sent via text and email messages to individuals who are registered in the CLC Alert system. All students are automatically registered in the system each semester upon registration, unless they choose to remove their contact information. All staff and faculty members are registered upon hiring, and can update their contact information at any time, in order to receive these notifications. To register for this program, please go to http://www.getrave.com/login/clcillinois and click on the Register button. Complete the registration fields and agree to the service terms. Follow up information will be provided by SMS Text message (for emergency notifications), postings on the CLC Web Site (www.clcillinois.edu), emails to the campus community and press releases issued from the Public Relations Office to media outlets. To register for CLC Alerts, parents and other members of the community can follow the following procedure: Contact the System Administrator by telephone at 1 (847) 543-2249 College policy states that in order to aid in the prevention of further occurrences, all crimes shall be reported to the CLC Police Department or local Police Department in a timely manner.

Crime Prevention and Security Awareness Programs Education is an important part of preventing crime. The CLC Police Department makes ongoing efforts to educate the ever-changing college community about common sense precautions. Some of these include: Crime Prevention The Campus Watch Program: A modification of the National Block Watch Program, specifically designed to educate students, staff and other members of our college community about crime issues specifically related to them. Campus Watch meetings are held regularly on the third Tuesday and Wednesday of each month at 1:00pm at the Grayslake Campus, and at the Lakeshore Campus on the third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. and the third Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. The S.A.F.E. Program is a crime prevention program that provides an educational resource to women within the college community that introduces them to the possibility of physical training and creates an opportunity for participants to receive information that may reduce their risk of exposure to crimes of violence. The program consists of a two hour long self-defense and familiarization exchange program that distributes crime prevention information for home study and reference, and is a public relations program sponsored by the National Self-Defense Institute. This program is presented a total of approximately ten times annually at all three campuses. Awareness Programs Classroom presentations on various subjects related to preventing crimes and educating members of our community about current crime trends likely to affect members of our campus community are presentedby request. Presentations to students participating in the New Student Orientation Tours at the Grayslake Campus, and in classrooms at Lakeshore and Southlake Campuses during the first two weeks of each semester that educate new students about the services provided by the CLC Police Department and how to avoid being the victim of common campus crimes are presented by Police personnel. Campus Emergency Preparedness Guides are used as a resource for students and employees. These are found posted on walls, in the classrooms, offices and online. Special Crime Alerts, in addition to previously described Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications are prepared as needed and distributed selectively or throughout the campus(es) as needed. Active Shooter Training conducted by the Professional Development Center approximately 1 time per month during regular semesters. Sessions are held during day and evening hours and at Grayslake, Lakeshore and Southlake campus locations.
