Timely Information
Colleges are also required to provide special timely warnings and a public crime log.
DeKalb Tech will make notification of the above listed crimes that come to the attention of the College and are considered to be a threat to students and employees. Timely warnings will be made utilizing one or more of the following communication systems: posted “Crime Watch” bulletins, the voice mail system, the electronic mail system, the fax system, and College publications. In addition, signs may be posted in specific buildings warning of recent thefts or other crimes. DeKalb Tech will disclose in a public crime log any crime that occurred on campus or within the patrol jurisdiction of campus security and is reported to the campus Vice President of Operations or to the Department of Facilities and Auxiliary Services. The log will include the nature, date, time and general location of each crime as well as its disposition if known. Incidents are to be included within two business days but certain limited information may be withheld to protect victim confidentiality, ensure the integrity of ongoing investigations, or to keep a suspect from fleeing. The log will be publicly available during normal business hours. Logs remain open for 60 days and subsequently are available within 2 business days of a request.
A summary of the occurrences of campus crime is provided in the student newspaper which is distributed free of charge on all campuses.
