Campus Safety & Security
Reporting Criminal Actions or Emergencies
If you observe anything suspicious, sense a potential threat, or become the victim of a crime, dial 9-911 from a campus phone to access the Kootenai County 911 system, or use one of the outdoor emergency phones for direct contact to Campus Safety. Any emergency or possible criminal action can be reported directly by any student, staff or faculty member. Call quickly and do not assume someone else called. Always inform Campus Safety that 911 has been notified. Emergencies, day or night, should be reported to the Campus Safety Office whenever possible. Security personnel can respond and initiate whatever action is necessary, including the notification of specific emergency services (police, fire, ambulance). Security officers will follow up on reports and take action as appropriate, including writing an incident report to document the circumstances.
Crime Reporting and Notification
Efforts are made to advise the
campus community on a timely basis about campus crime and crime-related
problems. When circumstances warrant, special printed alerts are
prepared and distributed, either selectively or throughout campus. When
criminal activity occurs which represents a threat to students and
staff, the College will report this activity in one or more of the
following methods: Campus or local media, alerts to classes in session, notification
to department heads, telephone, e-mail, messenger or bulletin board
flyers. The kind of notification to be utilized and the time of
notification will be dictated by the seriousness of the situation.
