Safety Suggestions and Reporting
Procedures
Safety Suggestions
- A truly safe campus can only be achieved through the cooperation
of all persons. Therefore, members of the DeKalb Tech community
are asked to accept responsibility for their own personal safety
and security by taking simple, common sense precautions such as
the following:
- Keep your vehicle locked at all times and keep CD players, cellular
phones, and valuables with you. Never leave them in your car.
- Keep all property with you. Never leave your books, jacket, or
backpack unattended.
- Travel the path of well-lit areas.
- Travel with a partner or request a security escort.
- Stay alert and have your keys in hand when approaching your car.
Report all suspicious or unusual behavior.
Reporting Procedures
In order to insure timely reporting of adverse activity, the DeKalb
Tech community is strongly encouraged to report suspicious or criminal
activity whenever observed, either in person or by telephone. Direct
access to the governing local law enforcement agency can be obtained
by dialing 911 regardless of campus location; however, the community
is encouraged to first contact a College official in order to better
coordinate emergency responses. If a victim is unable to report an
incident, they are strongly encouraged to make notification to an
alternate College official. In all cases, the confidentiality, rights,
and desires of the victim will be considered within the confines of
legal authority to do so. The campus extensions to call are as follows:
