Institutional Response to Reported Incidents

Incident Reports
Upon receiving a report of any criminal activity, injury, or accident, security will respond by interviewing the reporting individual for details of the incident and will complete an incident report which is reviewed by the chief security officer and the Director of Facilities. Copies of incident reports are kept in the offices of the Director of Facilities and the Dean of Administration and Finance.

Actions

• The security guard on duty can often respond to an incident by taking such actions as asking a person to leave the campus, by issuing a parking ticket, or intervening to disperse participants in an incident.
• In the event of medical emergencies, security, the Health Care Counselor, or another first-aider can contact an ambulance to transport the victim to the hospital.
• Security works with the Massachusetts State Police in reporting incidents of criminal activity. The state police then conducts their own investigation, keeping college officials apprised of the status and dispensation of each case.
• In the case of incidents or complaints regarding maintenance of buildings and grounds, the college buildings and grounds staff address the concern in response to a Maintenance Request Form completed by the responding guard
• Complaints of sexual or racial harassment are referred to the college Affirmative Action Officer as well as the state police, if necessary.
