Campus Crime
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
Statistics Act, codified at 20 USC 1092 (f) as a part of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, is a federal law that requires colleges and
universities to disclose certain timely and annual information about
campus crime and security policies. The Department of Education has
provided a web site http://ope.ed.gov/security/.
This site provides data from thousands of colleges and universities
in a convenient searchable form.
The link directly to the College of the Ozarks information follows: http://ope.ed.gov/security/Search.asp.
Type in College of the Ozarks under Name of Institution and click on
SEARCH.
Sexual Predators
The College is required to provide information about sexual predators
in the surrounding area. Below is a link to the Missouri Sex Offender
Registry. This web site provides a list of Sex Offenders by name, county,
or zip code. http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/PatrolDivisions/CRID/SOR/SORPage.html
Crime Reporting
Any individual on the College of the Ozarks
campus who is a victim of or observes any criminal
activity should report the incident immediately.
Call the campus switchboard (dial 0) and ask
the operator to send a security officer to the
location. Be sure to tell the operator the
nature of the problem, the location and any
other information that would help the officers.
It is also a good idea to give the operator
a call back number. The operator will then
dispatch an officer and the situation will be
taken care of. The officer will most likely
do a written report and will need more information
at the scene. |
