Timely Warnings<br />
In the event that a situation arises, either on or off campus, that, in the judgment of the<br />
Campus President or building security staff, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat,<br />
a campus wide “timely warning” will be issued. Timely warnings are provided to give<br />
students, faculty and staff notification of <strong>crime</strong>s that have occurred on the institution’s<br />
geographic area and have been <strong>report</strong>ed to campus security authorities or local police<br />
agencies and are considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing<br />
threat to students and employees. Timely warnings are not limited to violent <strong>crime</strong>s or<br />
<strong>crime</strong>s against person, but may be threats to persons or to property. For example,<br />
there may be a rash of burglaries or motor vehicle thefts that merit a warning because<br />
they represent a continuing threat to the campus community.<br />
The decision to issue a timely warning is based on the nature of the <strong>crime</strong>, the<br />
continuing danger to the campus community, and the possible risk of compromising law<br />
enforcement efforts. The timely warning should allow the members of the campus<br />
community to protect themselves. Timely warning <strong>report</strong>s are provided to the campus<br />
community in a variety of ways so that the warning will be able to reach the entire<br />
campus community. The timely warning includes information about the <strong>crime</strong> that<br />
triggered the timely warning and all information that will promote safety and that would<br />
aid in the prevention of similar <strong>crime</strong>s. Once <strong>Argosy</strong> <strong>University</strong> determines the content<br />
of the warning, timely warning <strong>report</strong>s are provided through a variety of mechanisms,<br />
including notifications issued through the SendWordNow® Emergency Notification<br />
System and posted on the Student Services Bulletin Board on campus.<br />
POLICIES FOR PREPARING THE ANNUAL DISCLOSURE OF CRIMINAL STATISTICS<br />
All incidents are <strong>report</strong>ed and documented on an Incident Report form, which is sent to<br />
Michele Cortez, Associate Director of Student Services. Reports are kept in a secure<br />
location in the Student Services area. The annual <strong>crime</strong> <strong>report</strong> is prepared by gathering<br />
campus <strong>crime</strong> statistics and data from local and state police and sheriff departments<br />
and other relevant information by the Associate Director of Student Services.<br />
