The Victim Empowerment Program - (VEP) The Victim Empowerment Program provides free and confidential services to assist students, faculty, staff and university visitors who have experienced actual or threatened violence. Specially trained counselors provide victim advocacy and comprehensive supportive services to help overcome the effects of trauma from violence, including (but not limited to): assault; battery; relationship abuse (physical, verbal and/or emotional); sexual and/or attempted sexual battery (acquaintance rape, date rape, stranger rape and molestation); stalking (repeated following or harassment); and hate and/or property crimes. Victim advocates support and inform victims of their right to report all offenses to police. However, police reports are not required to receive services. The Victim Empowerment Program’s role is to provide emotional support and resources to help overcome the effect of the incident(s) and help students be successful in their academic pursuits. VEP provides the following services: • 24-hour support, information, referrals and advocacy • Supportive crisis counseling to

Crime Statistics Pursuant to 20 U.S.C. Section 1092(f) “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act�: 2010-2012 statistics as reported to the FIUPD, as well as the local and/or county police having jurisdiction over the respective campus location. Confidential disclosures regarding crime victimization made to University-affiliated professionals and Campus Security Authorities (such as pastoral counselors or professional counselors) within privileged relationships (counselorpatient, clergy-parishioner, etc.) are reported to campus police or security at the sole discretion of the professional and only for the purposes of inclusion as necessary within the annual crime statistics disclosure and for consideration of timely warning report issuance. There is no University policy requiring such disclosures made in confidence to professionals not affiliated with campus police to report such information to campus police. Persons being counseled are welcome to personally report crime victimization confidentially or nonconfidentially to campus police or security at any time. The statistics were valid at publication but may not reflect current trends. The following tables provide information on reportable offenses according to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The crime statistics contained in this report include those obtained from campus security authorities and other law enforcement agencies. Statistics and other information as well as a copy of this report may be found at the FIUPD website located online at police.fiu.edu 35

Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report Availability FIU is committed to assisting all members of the FIU community in providing for their own safety and security. The annual security and fire safety compliance document is available on the FIUPD website at police.fiiu.edu/docs/ Campus_Security_Report_&_Safety_Guide.pdf. If you would like to receive the combined Annual Security and Fire Safety Report which contains this information, you can stop by the FIUPD at 885 SW 109 Ave, Miami, FL 33199 or 3000 N.E. 151st Street Building SO II (BBC), North Miami, FL 33181, or you can request a copy be mailed to you by calling 305-348-2626. The website and booklet contain information regarding campus security and personal safety including topics such as: crime prevention, fire safety, university police law enforcement authority, crime reporting policies, disciplinary procedures and other matters of importance related to security and safety on campus. They also contain information about crime statics for the three previous calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by FIU, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. This information is required by law and is provided by the FIUPD.
Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics Report The FIUPD prepares this report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The full text of this report is located on our website at police.fiu.edu. This report is prepared in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies surrounding our main campus and regional satellite campuses, Housing and Residential Life, the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution, Victim Empowerment Program and the Division of Student Affairs. Each entity provides updated information on their educational efforts and programs to comply with the Clery Act.

The Fire Safety and Prevention Office
The Fire Safety and Prevention Office conducts a series of inspections in preparation for any fire incident and to avoid any possible malfunction in the event of such an incident. Fire drills are directed and surveyed twice a year to identify any deficiencies that can be corrected for the safety of the university community. Life Safety Code 101 inspections are completed in the presence of the state fire marshal during one of the two inspections conducted annually; this allows the university to seek out and rectify violations as per the Florida state fire prevention code. The department uses an outside contractor to inspect all fire alarms, fire sprinklers and fire extinguishers. FIU’s fire prevention officer invites the
investigation. The office also provides

Florida International University, Police Department | 305-348-2626 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report 2018
FIU’s procedures for student housing evacuation in case of a fire In the case of a fire-related emergency, there are procedures that are enforced to benefit the safety and well-being of all students, faculty and staff. The procedures are as follows: In the event of a fire, the university expects that all campus community members will evacuate by the nearest exit, closing doors and activating the fire alarm system (if one is present) as they leave. Once safely outside a building, it is appropriate to contact 911 and the FIUPD emergency number at 305-348-5911. Students and/or staff are informed where to relocate to by residential housing staff if circumstance warrants at the time of the alarm. In the event fire alarms sound, university policy is that all occupants must evacuate from the building, closing doors as they leave. No training is provided to students or employees in firefighting or suppression activity as this is inherently dangerous, and each community member’s only duty is to exit safely and quickly, shutting doors along the exit path as they go to contain the spread of flames and smoke, and to activate the alarm as they exit. At no time should the closing of doors or the activation of the alarm delay the exit from the building. Per federal law, FIU is required to annually disclose statistical data on all fires that occur in on-campus student housing facilities. Listed below are the non-emergency numbers to call to report fires that have already been extinguished in on-campus student housing. These are fires for which you are unsure whether the FIUPD and Safety Officer may already be aware. If you find evidence of such a fire or if you hear about such a fire, please contact one of the following: FIU Police Department 305-348-2626 Non-emergency
FIU University Safety Officer 305-348-0170
Immediately upon notification of a fire or activation of the fire alarm system the students and staff members are to evacuate the building. They are to close the doors behind them, exit the building through the nearest stairway, and proceed at least 150 feet away from the building to an area of refuge. The desk assistant on duty is to notify campus police the instant he/she has reached the safety of the refuge. An officer will be dispatched to the location. (All fire alarms report to the FIUPD so an officer will be dispatched with or without the call from the desk assistant.) During normal business hours, campus police dispatch will then notify the fire prevention officer of the alarm and the location. Once on the scene, the campus police officer will, without endangering the officer, attempt to confirm the likelihood of an actual fire and its location. The on-scene campus police officer will then make the determination whether to call the local fire department. In the event this is necessary, campus police may escort the fire department to the location for a more timely response. If you find evidence of a fire or if you hear about a fire, you are urged to remain at least 150 feet away from the building. Once you have reached a safe distance and are not in any danger, please contact:: The FIU Police Department’s Emergency Line: MMC 305-348-5911; BBC 305-919-5911
FIU remains committed to fire safety and works to diligently in making improvements when required.
