Security Reports<br />
<strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>College</strong> encourages all persons to take an active role in ensuring<br />
the safety of the campus community. If you observe or are victim of an incident<br />
on campus, <strong>Gateway</strong> encourages you to directly file a report by completing an online<br />
Security and Incident report at gtc.edu/safety or in person at campus security.<br />
Examples of items to submit through this reporting system would include: safety<br />
concerns, criminal law violations, violations of college policy, academic cheating,<br />
property damage, personal injuries and violations of the student code of conduct.<br />
Persons completing a report may remain anonymous if they desire.<br />
C.A.R.E. Team<br />
The mission of the Communication, Awareness, Referral and Evaluation Team<br />
(CARE Team) is to contribute to a safe campus environment by reducing potential<br />
threats through the identification, assessments, and management of behavioral<br />
concerns.” This multidisciplinary team will assess available information regarding<br />
an individual student (or employee) and determine an appropriate course of<br />
action. By intervening with a student or employee who has exhibited behavior that<br />
is of concern, we hope to prevent escalation of disturbed or disturbing behavior and<br />
ultimately limit future acts of violence. Members of the campus community are<br />
strongly encouraged to report persons of concern by completing a Security/ Incident<br />
report at gtc.edu/safety. Persons completing a report may do so anonymously but<br />
are encouraged to identify themselves so that contact may be made if additional<br />
information is required. If you observe or hear ANY behavior that causes concern<br />
(no matter how small or limited your direct knowledge maybe) please complete a<br />
Security/Incident Report to alert the college.<br />
Emergency Response Plan<br />
<strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>College</strong> has developed Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) for<br />
each of the campuses that can be found at gtc.edu/safety. These plans include an<br />
outline of the college’s processes for responding to a campus or district incident.<br />
They also include a “checklist” of responses to typical incidences that may occur on<br />
campus. The college provides a flip chart of these checklists in each of the building<br />
classrooms, meeting rooms and office complexes. <strong>Student</strong>s may find additional<br />
information by self enrolling to the “Safety and Security” BlackBoard (Bb) site<br />
located in the communities section of Bb.<br />
Emergency Website<br />
In case of an emergency that would impair the college’s ability to use its own website<br />
for communication with the public, please go to the emergency website http://<br />
emergency.gtc.edu for important information.<br />
