Security and Safety Mission
  • The philosophy of the St. Lawrence University
    Security and Safety department is to provide a
    safe and secure environment for the entire
    University community. The Security and Safety
    Department offers a wide variety of services to
    assist students, staff and faculty members in
    their day to day living. All services are widely
    publicized. We asked that all students, staff,
    and faculty members familiarize themselves with
    the handbook and all the services provided by
    this department. The first step in a successful
    security and safety program is public awareness.

Policy disclosure
  • Colleges/Universities must provide their campus
    community and the public with accurate statements
    of its current policies and practices regarding
  • Procedures for students and others to report
    criminal actions or other emergencies occurring

Records collection and retention
  • Colleges/Universities are required to keep campus
    records and to request records from law
    enforcement agencies.
  • Colleges/Universities must keep records of crimes
    reported to campus security authorities.
  • Colleges/Universities must also make a reasonable
    good-faith effort to obtain certain crime
    statistics from appropriate law enforcement
    agencies to include in an annual security report
    and the web-based report to Department of ED.
  • If a College/University maintains a campus police
    or security office, you are required to keep a
    daily crime log that must be open to public
    inspection.

23
Information dissemination
  • Colleges/Universities are required to provide
    campus community members with information
    necessary to make informed decisions about their
    safety, and must disseminate information in
    several ways.
  • Colleges/Universities must
  • Provide a timely warning of any Clery Act crime
    that might represent an ongoing threat to the
    safety of students or employees
  • Provide access to your crime log during normal
    business hours

25
Who is responsible to report
  • Campus police
  • Non-police security staff responsible for
    monitoring campus property
  • Individuals and offices designated by the campus
    security policies as those to whom crimes should
    be reported
  • Officials of the institution with significant
    responsibility for student and campus activities.

26
Crime Statistics
  • St. Lawrence University Crime Statistics and
    Crime Definitions are available on our website at
    the following web link
  • http//web.stlawu.edu/security/fbi.php

27
Safe Walks
  • Security Safety provides safe walks from any
    university affiliated or owned property to
    another university affiliated or owned property.
  • Safe Walks consist of a personal escort by a
    Security Safety Officer or Student Safety Team
    Member.
  • To request a safe walk at any time of the day or
    night, simply call 5555 from a campus phone or
    229-5555 from an outside line or cellular phone.

28
Sexual Assault, Relationship Violence, Physical
Violence, and Stalking
  • Incidents involving Sexual Assault, Relationship
    Violence, Physical Violence, or Stalking must be
    reported to Security Safety at 5555 or
    229-5555.

29
Once an incident is reported
  • Our first commitment will be to the survivors
    safety. Once the safety of the survivor is
    confirmed, the survivor controls the process.
  • We will provide the survivor with any one or all
    of the following resources/services
  • Medical treatment
  • Advocate from our Advocate Program
  • Counselor from our Counseling Center
  • Community Outreach Programs (CAVA and Renewal
    House)
  • Law Enforcement
  • Safe room

30
Access Control System
  • St. Lawrence University has installed a card
    access control system, requiring our community
    members to pass their access cards to access most
    of our campus buildings.
  • The access control system also detects propped
    doors or forced entry and an alarm activates at
    both the door and at the dispatch center.

31
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
  • By passing ID cards within 3-4 inches of an
    electronic reader at the main doors of each
    building, our campus community members are able
    to  enter immediately.
  • Because the card holder must have access rights
    to that building or doors will not unlock, the
    main entrances of the residence halls have a
    yellow emergency phone. The emergency phones are
    equipped with a key pad to dial on campus phone
    number and a red panic button that dials Security
    Safety directly.

Cross Walk Safety
  • FOLLOW THE PEDESTRIAN RULES OF THE ROADJust
    like motorists, pedestrians are expected to
    follow certain rules of the road
  • Pedestrians are to use crosswalks to cross
    streets.
  • Pedestrians are to use sidewalks whenever they
    are safely available.
  • When sidewalks are unavailable, pedestrians must
    walk facing traffic as far to the left as
    possible.
  • Pedestrians must obey traffic signals and/or
    traffic officers.
  • At crosswalks where there isn't a traffic control
    signal or officer, pedestrians have the right of
    way.
  • If there aren't any crosswalks, signs or signals,
    the pedestrian must yield the right-of-way to all
    vehicles.
  • Wear bright colored clothing or reflective
    materials when using crosswalks in low light
    conditions.
  • Before entering the crosswalk to cross the
    street, pedestrians must be certain that vehicles
    approaching the crosswalk from both directions
    have come to a complete stop.
