Crime and Safety Reports

Clery Act

The  Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) (20 USC § 1092(f)), originally known as the Campus Security Act is the landmark federal law that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. The law is tied to an institution's participation in federal student financial aid programs and it applies to most institutions of higher education both public and private. The Clery Act is enforced by the United States Department of Education.  In compliance with the Clery Act, the Virginia Peninsula Community College Police, Safety and Security Department publishes an Annual Security Report.

Background

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, formerly known as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Clery Act, 20 U.S.C. 1092) was originally enacted as Title II of the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990; it was signed into federal law as an amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965. The Clery Act (renamed for Jeanne Clery in 1998), was enacted to increase the accountability and transparency of Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) in meeting certain responsibilities with regard to the safety and security of students on their campuses.

On April 5, 1986, Jeanne Clery, a freshman attending Lehigh University was murdered by Josoph Henry, a fellow student with whom she was not acquainted. Henry entered Jeanne’s residence hall through a door that had been propped open. This was not an uncommon occurrence at the time, students often used boxes to prop open doors so they could easily come and go. That night, Jeanne left the door to her room unlocked for her roommate, who had misplaced her key. In the middle of the night, Jeanne was awakened by Henry burglarizing her room. Henry, caught off guard by Jeanne, stabbed, raped, and strangled her. It was later revealed that Henry had been out all-night drinking after losing a student election and was out looking to steal; the crime was random.

Jeanne’s parents, Connie and Howard Clery, were unaware of the dangers and history of violent crime that had occurred on campus. The Clery’s were shocked to learn that there had been thirty-eight (38) violent crimes on the campus in the three (3) years preceding Jeanne’s death. This important information was not provided to them and could have aided in their decision when considering the safety of college campuses and where to send Jeanne to college. In 1987, the Clery’s founded Security On Campus, Inc. and began lobbying state legislatures and Congress to require colleges to report campus crimes. Their devotion paid off and in 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act.

The Clery Act requires colleges and universities participating in federal student aid to disclose information about campus crime statistics for the prior three years, as well as current programs for campus safety/security and reporting procedures occurring on Clery geography along with their campus security and safety policies (20 USC§1092f). Each year, by October 1st, institutions must publish and distribute their Annual Security and Fire Safety Report to current and prospective employees and students. This data is also submitted to the U.S. Department of Education - Campus Safety and Security. The information includes the three most recent years of campus crime statistics and security policy statements.

Introduction

In accordance with the requirements established by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act, Virginia Peninsula Community College has published this Annual Security Report (ASR) which discloses safety security information, policies, and the College’s reportable crime statistics for the preceding three-years, as well as current programs for campus safety/security and reporting procedures. In collaboration with other College divisions and departments, as well as local and state law enforcement authorities, the Virginia Peninsula Community College Department of Police and Security Services prepares this report annually.

Annual Security Report

The College’s Annual Security Report (ASR) is prepared by the Virginia Peninsula Community College Department of Police and Security Services. The information and statistics published in this report were acquired from police and security incident reports, the college’s Title IX Coordinator, Campus Security Authorities and local law enforcement agencies surrounding all Virginia Peninsula Community College Clery geographical locations. These are statistics of all Clery reportable crimes without revealing the identity of victims/witnesses making confidential reports. These statistics are reported behaviors and do not reflect whether the behaviors led to criminal convictions against the individuals accused of these Clery offenses. The information in this report includes information, statistics, policies, procedures and programs relating to crime prevention and college safety collected and/or in place during the 2022 calendar year, as of the date of this report, October 1, 2023.

Reportable offenses for Clery Act purposes are:

  • Criminal Homicide (murder, non-negligent manslaughter, and manslaughter by negligence)
  • Sexual Assault (rape, fondling, incest, and carnal knowledge)
  • Robbery
  • Aggravated Assault
  • Burglary
  • Motor Vehicle Theft
  • Arson
  • Hate Crimes (Any of the above-mentioned offenses and any incidents of larceny-theft, simple assault, intimidation, or destruction/damage/vandalism of property that were motivated by bias.)
  • The hate crimes bias categories required to be reported by the Clery Act are disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, national origin, race, religion, and sexual orientation.
  • Arrests and Referrals for Disciplinary Action (Arrests for weapons law violations, drug abuse violations, and liquor law violations, even if no charges were placed. Referrals for weapons law violations, drug abuse violations, and liquor law violations).
  • Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Offenses (dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking)

The reported crimes are cataloged utilizing the “hierarchy rule,” which is when the offender/perpetrator commits multiple offences in the same incident. The hierarchy rule requires that the most serious offense be counted when more than one offense was committed during a single incident. A single incident means that the offenses must be committed at the same time and place; or when the time interval and distance between the offenses were insignificant. Not all crimes committed in the same incident are counted with the statistics only the most serious per the hierarchy rule. If rape, fondling, incest, or statutory rape occurs in the same incident as a murder, the institution must record both the sex offense and the murder in its statistics. Dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking are not listed in the hierarchy in the final regulations for the VAWA amendments to the Clery Act.

This report includes the College’s policies concerning campus safety and crime prevention, sexual assault, alcohol and drugs, access to the campus, as well as other important policies and safety

information. Compliance with the provisions in this document and specified by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 does not constitute a violation of section 444 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 USC § 1232g), commonly known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA. Non-Clery Act crimes, crimes outside Clery geography, and unfounded crimes are not reported. For a crime to be unfounded, it must be investigated and considered unfounded by a certified law enforcement officer. Arson is always reported along with any offense required to be reported under the hierarchy rule.

In compliance with federal law and the Code of Virginia, Virginia Peninsula Community College has implemented a comprehensive emergency notification system. This system consists of several notification technologies to include text messaging, an outdoor siren and public address capability, webpage notifications, Alertus desktop client for computers, social media, and email to registered users. This notification system allows for the prompt disclosure of information about crimes and/or other emergencies on or near a campus or educational site that may pose an ongoing threat to the Virginia Peninsula Community College community. The text and email notification system are an opt-in notification system, which allows anyone with interest in receiving this information to register, and all students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to register for these optional alerts. In addition to the electronic format, the College may elect to hard copy notifications in conspicuous places on or throughout buildings/facilities in the event of a power interruption or other related technology failure.

Emergency Notification and Timely Warning Notification alerts are considered for the following Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR)/National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) classifications: murder, non-negligent manslaughter, manslaughter by negligence, sexual assault (rape, fondling, incest and statutory rape), robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, motor vehicle theft and arson. It may also include the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) offenses, which are later defined in this document as domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.

Safety and Security Programs

Virginia Peninsula Community College safety, security and crime prevention programs are critical to educating the college community, promoting safety and security practices, and reducing crime. The Department of Police and Security Services sponsors and participates with several crime prevention programs throughout the year to emphasize awareness and offer education on methods to reduce the opportunities of becoming a victim. Materials are distributed and presentations are made to familiarize students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community with their shared responsibility in preventing crime. Professional development and community awareness programs for the faculty, staff, and students, are held to inform them of safety and security awareness and crime prevention procedures as well as services offered by Virginia Peninsula Community College. Faculty, staff and students are provided with safety tips and told about crime(s) within and around the college community.

Campus Security Authorities (CSAs)

Virginia Peninsula Community College acknowledges that some community members and students in particular, may be hesitant to report crimes to public safety and/or law enforcement personnel, but may be more inclined to report them to other college-affiliated individuals.

In order to ensure all criminal activity is disclosed, the Clery Act requires a collaborative effort to collect previously unreported crime statistics from all individuals and organizations associated with the college who have significant responsibility for student or campus activities.

These individuals and organizations are called Campus Security Authorities (CSAs).

The Clery Act defines four categories of CSA’s and Virginia Peninsula Community College designates the following positions into the defined categories:

  • Virginia Peninsula Community College Department of Police, Safety, and Security Officers.
  • Non-police security staff responsible for monitoring college property, monitoring events, and providing escorts to include contracted security personnel, personnel providing access control and/or security at athletic or other special events, safety escort staff, and other similar persons and positions.
  • Positions designated under Virginia Peninsula Community College policy as those to whom crimes should be reported – the Department of Police, Safety, and Security, Title IX Coordinator(s), positions with roles and responsibilities for student discipline and campus judicial proceedings, and representatives from Human Resources.
Officials with significant responsibility for students and campus activities.
  • “Official” is defined as any person to whom crimes should be reported and/or who has the authority and duty to take action and respond to particular issues on behalf of the institution to include Vice Presidents, Associate Vice Presidents, Deans, Associate Deans, Directors, Department Heads, Advisors, Non-Professional Counselors, Athletic Director(s), Athletic Coaches, Student Organization Liaisons/Advisors, Human Resources Staff, and Title IX Coordinators.
  • If someone has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, they are a CSA. To determine which positions and/or organizations are CSA’s, Virginia Peninsula Community College considered employee work profiles (EWPs), position descriptions, and job functions that involved relationships with students.

Virginia Peninsula Community College requires CSA’s to report, as quickly as possible the following:

  • Witness, learn of, or hear about a Clery Act crime, contact the Virginia Peninsula Community College Department of Police, Safety, and Security, and/or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction when the crime occurred and tell them what happened, when it happened, and where it happened; you may identify the victim or keep the victim’s identity confidential.

The Department of Police and Security Services is dedicated to helping and providing services to victims and witnesses of crime, as governed by the Virginia Crime Victims Bill of Rights. The department’s goal is to ensure that victims and witnesses are provided with as much help as necessary to reduce the impact of crime on victims, and witnesses through awareness of available services.

A victim of crime is anyone who has suffered physical, psychological, or economic harm as a direct result of a felony or certain misdemeanors. The definition of a victim includes:

  • Spouses and children of all victims
  • Parent, guardians, and siblings of minor victims
  • Parents, guardians, and siblings of mentally or physically incapacitated victims or victims of homicide
  • Foster parents or other caregivers, under certain circumstances

Crime Victims’ Rights

The right to protection from further harm or reprisal through the imposition of appropriate proper bail and conditions of release.

Crisis Intervention Officers

The Crisis Intervention Officers are highly skilled and highly trained officers trained in how to interact, intervene, de-escalate situations, and assist persons experiencing a mental health crisis. These officers receive 40 hours of specialized training in mental health awareness and stigmas, suicide intervention, substance abuse issues, de-escalation techniques, the role of the family in the care of a person with mental illness, legal training in mental health and substance abuse issues, and local resources for those in a mental health crisis. In addition to classroom instruction, officers-in-training also participate in a minimum of nine hours of role-playing exercises based on real-life scenarios and spend an entire day visiting mental health and substance abuse inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities where they have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one dialogue with mental health consumers.

The training is designed to educate and prepare officers who may have contact with people with mental illnesses, to recognize the signs and symptoms of these illnesses, and to respond effectively and appropriately to individuals in crisis. Because our officers are often the first responders in these incidents, it is essential that they know how mental illnesses can alter people's behaviors and perceptions. The trained CIT Officer is skilled at de-escalating crises involving people with mental illness, while bringing an element of understanding and compassion to these difficult and often time demanding situations. Connection with community resources is offered, whenever possible, thus avoiding unnecessary incarcerations or hospitalizations.

CIT has shown to positively impact officer perceptions, decrease the need for higher levels of police interventions, decrease officer injuries, and re-direct those in crisis from the criminal justice to the health care system. CIT Training is approved by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), Virginia Crisis Intervention Team Coalition (VACIT), and Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS).

This Policy also addresses the requirements under the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, (also known as the Campus SaVE Act), and Virginia law.

This Policy is not intended to substitute or supersede related criminal or civil law. Individuals are encouraged to report incidents of sexual and domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking to law enforcement authorities. Criminal and civil remedies are available in addition to the remedies that the College can provide.

Advisor. An advisor is an individual who provides the complainant or respondent support, guidance, and advice. Advisors may be present at any meeting or live hearing but may not speak directly on behalf of the complainant or respondent, except to conduct cross- examination during a live hearing. Advisors may be but are not required to be licensed.

Appeal Officer. The Appeal Officer is the designated employee who reviews the complete record of the formal complaint and written statements of the parties during an appeal of a written determination or dismissal of a formal complaint or any allegations therein.

Basic procedural due process guarantees that an individual receives notice of the matter pending that relates to the possible deprivation of a property or liberty interest and the opportunity to be heard. For example, students and employees facing suspension or expulsion/termination for disciplinary reasons must be given notice of the allegations against them prior to any hearing or determination of responsibility. Any disciplinary process must be fair and impartial. Additionally, the opportunity to respond must be meaningful.

Education Program or Activity. An education program or activity encompasses all of the College’s operations and includes locations, events, or circumstances over which the College exercises substantial control over both the respondent and the context in which the sexual harassment Examples of education programs or activities includes, but are not limited to, college-sponsored conferences, athletic events and sports teams, student organizations, and wi-fi network.

Exculpatory Evidence. Exculpatory evidence is evidence that shows, or tends to show, that a respondent is not responsible for some, or all of the conduct alleged in the notice of allegations. The College must provide the respondent with all exculpatory evidence.

Facilitator. A Facilitator guides a discussion between parties during the informal resolution process and reaches a decision to the satisfaction of each party.

Final Decision. A final decision is the written document that describes any sanctions imposed and remedies provided to the respondent and complainant, respectively, at the conclusion of the formal resolution process.

Formal Complaint. A formal complaint is a document filed and signed by a complainant or signed by the Title IX Coordinator that alleges sexual harassment against a respondent and requests the

College to investigate the allegation of sexual, the complainant must be participating in or attempting to participate in an education program or activity of the College when the formal complaint is filed. A complainant cannot file a formal complaint anonymously. The Title IX Coordinator may sign on a complainant’s behalf in matters where it is in the best interest of the complainant or the College to do so.

The College may consolidate formal complaints against more than one respondent, or by more than one complainant against one or more respondents, or by one party against the other party, where the allegations of sexual harassment arise out of the same facts or circumstances.

Freedom of Speech. The freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to express one’s thoughts and views without unlawful governmental restrictions. As governmental entities, Colleges must not infringe on this right. This Policy expressly prohibits censorship of constitutionally protected expression.

Hearing Officer. A Hearing Officer is the presiding official of a live hearing who must issue a written determination on responsibility. Colleges may choose to hold live hearings with a single Hearing Officer or by committee.

Inculpatory Evidence. Inculpatory evidence is evidence that shows, or tends to show, that a respondent is responsible for some, or all of the conduct alleged in the notice of

Preponderance of the Evidence. A preponderance of the evidence is evidence that shows that the allegation against the respondent is more likely to be true than not. The preponderance of the evidence standard is the standard of evidence the College must use to determine responsibility.

Relevance. Relevance refers to evidence that tends to prove or disprove whether the respondent is responsible for the alleged A relevant question asks whether the facts material to the allegations under investigation are more or less likely to be true. A question not directly related to the allegations in the formal complaint generally will be irrelevant.

Remedies. Remedies are actions taken or accommodations provided to the complainant after a determination of responsibility for sexual harassment has been made against the respondent. Remedies are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the College’s education program or activity. Remedies may be disciplinary or non-disciplinary.

Report of Sexual Harassment. A report of sexual harassment occurs when anyone reports an allegation of sexual harassment to the Title IX Coordinator, or one that reaches the Title IX Coordinator through a Responsible Employee. An individual need not be participating or attempting to participate in an education program or activity of the College to file a report. The respondent also does not need to be an employee, student, or otherwise affiliated with the College for a person to file a report against.  A report of sexual harassment does not trigger an investigation or the formal or informal resolution process, but it does require the Title IX Coordinator to meet with the complainant and carry out the procedures described in Section S and/or T of this Policy, as applicable.

Respondent. A respondent is an individual who has been reported to have engaged in conduct that could constitute sexual harassment as defined under this definition. In most cases, a respondent is a person enrolled or employed by the College or who has another affiliation or connection with the College. The College may dismiss a formal complaint when the College has little to no control over the respondent but will offer supportive measures to the complainant and set reasonable restrictions on an unaffiliated respondent when appropriate.

Responsible Employee. A Responsible Employee is an employee who has the authority to take action to redress sexual harassment; who has been given the duty to report sexual harassment to the Title IX Coordinator [or other designee]; or an employee a student could reasonably believe has such authority or [The College may name Responsible Employees by title, or name employees who are Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) as Responsible Employees.] A Responsible Employee shall not be an employee who, in his or her position at the College, provides services to the campus community as a licensed health care professional, (or the administrative staff of a licensed health care professional), professional counselor, victim support personnel, clergy, or attorney.

The College’s treatment of a complainant or a respondent in response to a formal complaint of sexual harassment constitutes sex discrimination under Title IX when such response is deliberate.

Sexual Assault. Sexual assault is any sexual act directed against another person without consent or where the person is incapable of giving consent. Sexual assault includes intentionally touching, either directly or through clothing, the victim’s genitals, breasts, thighs, or buttocks without the person’s consent, as well as forcing someone to touch or fondle another against his or her will. Sexual assault includes sexual violence.

Sexual Exploitation. Sexual exploitation occurs when a person takes non-consensual or abusive sexual advantage of another for his/her own advantage or benefit, or to benefit or advantage anyone other than the one being exploited, and that behavior does not otherwise constitute one of other sexual harassment Examples of sexual exploitation include prostituting another person; non-consensual video or audio-taping of otherwise consensual sexual activity; going beyond the boundaries of consent (such as letting your friends hide in the closet to watch you having consensual sex), and knowingly transmitting HIV or an STD to another.

Sexual Harassment. Sexual harassment means conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one or more of the following:

Quid Pro Quo: The submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for educational or employment decisions affecting the student or employee either explicitly or implicitly.

Hostile Environment: Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to an education program or activity of the College, including a student’s educational experience or an employee’s work performance.

Sexual Violence. Sexual violence means physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person's will or where a person is incapable of giving Sexual violence includes rape and sexual assault.

Stalking. Stalking means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress. Such conduct can occur in person or online, but the conduct must involve an education program or activity of the College.

Statement. A statement is a person's intent to make factual assertions during the formal or informal resolution process, including evidence that contains a person's statement(s). Party or witness statements, police reports, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) reports, medical reports, and other records, such as emails and texts may be considered by the Hearing Officer even if they were not subject to cross-examination at a live hearing.

Supportive Measures. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the complainant or the respondent before or after the filing of a formal complaint or where no formal complaint has been filed. Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the College’s education programs or activities without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the campus environment, or to deter sexual harassment.

Third Party. A third party is any person who is not a student or employee of the college.

Title IX. Title IX means Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Smoking is prohibited in all campus buildings.

Smoking Areas

  1. Smoking shall be permitted in areas which (1) are not otherwise prohibited by the Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act, and (2) have been identified as having adequate ventilation (natural and/or mechanical) to dissipate concentrated smoke. The following areas have been designated as areas where smoking is permitted but people should not have to walk through smoke to reach the no smoking area. Per State guidelines, smoking is permitted on state property grounds, plazas, sidewalks, malls, and similar open pedestrian-ways provided smokers are 25 feet or more in distance away from an entrance or exit of any facility, including parking garages ( https://dgs.virginia.gov/).
