1 Ohio Medical Career College - Campus Security Report ( ) 1. Purpose & Overview Published: September 9, 2015 Ohio Medical Career College is committed to protecting the personal safety of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. A campus community relies on a peaceful, safe, and secure environment. Preserving this environment is a responsibility everyone on campus must share. In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (also known as Clery Act), each year OMCC School Director prepares, with the assistance of campus security authorities, an Annual Security Report of crime statistics, for each of the three most recent years of crimes that were committed on each campus or on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. This pertains to the premises of the Montgomery County Job Center located at 1111 & 1133 S Edwin C Moses Blvd in Dayton, Ohio. OMCC does not provide on-campus housing and is not required to develop a Missing Student Policy. OMCC does not have any non-campus locations or any offsite locations for student organizations. The Annual Security Report will be retained for a period of seven years. The Annual Security Report will be made available online each year by October 1 on OMCC school website consumer.html, under Annual Security Report. This annual statement will be collected, reported and disseminated to the campus community as well as to the U.S. Department of Education. Prospective students and prospective employees will be provided with a notice containing a statement of the report s availability and a description of its contents at which the report is posted and the opportunity to request a paper copy free of charge. College security policies and procedures are subject to change at any time without notice. Any inquiries concerning information presented in this brochure may be directed to OMCC School Director. 2. Timely Warning Upon confirmation of an emergency or ongoing dangerous situation on campus, a campus wide emergency notification will be issued. The decision to issue an emergency notification, the appropriate segment of the campus community to notify, and the content of the notification, will be made on a caseby-case basis by the School Director or his/her designee in light of all the facts, including the date and time of the crime or incident, the nature of the crime, the continuing danger to the campus community and the possible risk of compromising law enforcement efforts. This emergency notification will be made without delay. Any notifications to the larger community will be authorized by the School Director, or his/her designee, and disseminated via phone or . Depending upon the particular circumstances of the crime or incident, an emergency notification may be issued utilizing one or more of the following methods: Classroom announcement Alarm Posting through student and employee Posting on the OMCC school website and social media such as Facebook Text and voice messaging

2 Contacting the local media Anyone with information warranting a timely warning may report the circumstances to the Job Center Security Office by calling , by coming directly into the office, or by calling Facilities Security & Access OMCC school facility is open during day and evening business hours and is accessible to students, parents, employees, contractors, guests, and invitees. Students are issued a school ID that must be worn at all times when on campus. The campus hours of operation are posted on OMCC website. During nonbusiness hours, access to the campus will be restricted to those with legitimate business at OMCC. OMCC campus is situated inside the Montgomery County Job Center. Job Center security personnel provide a uniformed, armed presence on OMCC campus and maintain a highly professional working relationship with the Dayton Police Department and Montgomery County Sheriff s Office. The Job Center is also protected by an array of electronic surveillance. To remain compliant with OSHA regulations, and for the safety and security of our students and staff, access to some areas (particularly areas with chemicals) will be restricted. 4. Campus Emergency Notification Montgomery County Job Center conducts both announced and unannounced tests of the emergency notification and evacuation procedures. Alarm systems are all tested to ensure the systems are working properly. Additionally, the campus conducts periodic tests of the entire emergency response/evacuation process; these tests may be announced or unannounced. Documentation of these tests is maintained in the School Director s Office. 5. Evacuation Procedures Montgomery County Job Center security personnel will respond to any actual or perceived emergency. They will respond with whatever the necessary course of action mandates. In the event that an evacuation is necessary, the campus population will be notified through fire alarm system, , text messaging, and social media depending on what the emergency or evacuation situation mandates. Emergency response and evacuation procedures are conducted through student and faculty orientations. Evacuation routes are in every classroom and office area. 6. Security Awareness Programs Safety and security awareness programs are in place for students and employees at OMCC. School safety policy is presented to new students and employees at orientation as well as published in the student/employee handbooks. Visual emergency exiting layouts are posted in classroom, labs, and in the hallway. In the imminent danger or immediate emergency, information is released through verbal announcements in classroom and postings in common areas. 7. Reporting a Crime or Emergency OMCC encourages the prompt reporting of all crimes and suspicious persons or activities to the Job Center security staff and the local law enforcement agency when the victim of a crime elects to make

3 such a report. If the victim is physically or mentally unable to make such a report, Job Center security personnel will contact the local law enforcement agency on their behalf. If anyone on campus, in or on a non-campus building or property, or on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus is a victim of a crime, a witness to a crime, has third party information, or observes suspicious activity, they should immediately report it to the Job Center Security Office by calling or by coming into the office. For non-campus options crimes may be reported to the Montgomery County Sheriff s Office by calling or by calling Daily Crime Log Ohio Medical Career College maintains a Daily Crime Log (DCL) on campus. Information is recorded on the log within two days of the crime being reported to OMCC school officials regardless of how much time has passed since the crime was committed. Information that is prohibited by law or would jeopardize the confidentiality of the victim will not be included in the crime log. The School Director is responsible for maintaining the Daily Crime Log. The DCL includes the nature of the crime, and date reported, date and time occurred, general location of the crime and disposition of the complaint, if known. The DCL for the most recent sixty day period is kept in the School Director s office and will be retained for a period of seven years. The DCL is available for inspection upon request during school operational hours. Requests for information from DCLs that are older than sixty days will be made available within two business days of the request for public inspection. 9. Alcohol & Drugs Free School Policy Ohio Medical Career College is a drug and alcohol free institution. In compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989, OMCC prohibits the unlawful possession, use, sale, manufacture, or distribution of drugs and alcohol by students and employees on the property of OMCC, any clinical site, or during any school activities. These activities are illegal and adversely affect a student s ability to perform his/her duties, and can pose a danger not only to him/her, but to all students of the school. OMCC will impose sanctions on students and employees that are consistent with federal, state, and local laws. Violation of either the drug or alcohol policy will result in immediate school disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. Furthermore, violators will be subject to criminal prosecution, fines, and imprisonment. Use of alcohol or drugs presents numerous health, behavioral, and social problems. These include acute health problems related to intoxication or overdose, physical and psychological dependence, long-term health problems, contracting diseases, pregnancy problems, psychological problems, diminished behavior, risk taking, violent behavior, accidents, negative side effects on academic or work performance, and conduct problems: OMCC provides community referrals for personal counseling and help for students and employees with drug and alcohol-related problems through the Officer of Student Affairs. Referrals will be kept confidential.

4 10. Violence Against Women Act Compliance / Sexual Misconduct Prevention Policy Ohio Medical Career College does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs. Sexual harassment and sexual violence are considered to be types of sex discrimination. Other acts can also be forms of sex-based discrimination, and are also prohibited whether sexually based or not. These other acts include dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. OMCC prohibits the offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking and reaffirms its commitment to maintain a campus environment emphasizing the dignity and worth of all members of the College community. Effective November 1, 2014, OMCC engages in comprehensive educational programming to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. OMCC has published information and materials concerning these topics to be distributed to new students and employees orientations and upon individual request throughout the year. Evidence Preservation After an incident of sexual assault and domestic violence, the victim should consider seeking medical attention as soon as possible. It is important that a victim of sexual assault not bathe, douche, smoke, change clothing where they were assaulted if the offense occurred within the past 96 hours so that evidence necessary to prove criminal activity may be preserved. In circumstances of sexual assault, if victims do not opt for forensic evidence collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address concerns of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted disease. Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and dating violence are encouraged to also preserve evidence by saving text messages, instant messages, social networking pages, other communications, and keeping pictures, logs or other copies of documents, if they have any, that would be useful to investigators or police. Although OMCC strongly encourages all members of its community to report violations of this policy to law enforcement, it is the victims choice whether or not to make such a report and victims have the right to decline involvement with the police. When a complainant does not consent to the disclosure of their name or other identifiable information to the alleged perpetrator, the College s ability to respond to the complaint may be limited. Reporting Options & Procedures If you are an OMCC student or employee and have been the victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, you should report the incident promptly to the Job Center Security Office at and alert the Title IX Coordinator, Dr. Nick Xu (located in the School Director s Office, , nickx@omcc.edu). Charges to sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, and stalking will be investigated by Job Center Security Office and Dayton Police. Job Center Security Office can take a report, refer to medical care, assess short and long term safety needs, assist with contacting local police, referrals for mental health providers, and assist with Personal Protection Orders. The College will protect the identity of persons who report having been victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking to the fullest extent of the law. Personal identifiable information about the victim will be treated as confidential and only shared with persons with a specific

5 need to know who are investigating/adjudicating the complaint or delivering resources or support services to the complainant. Adjudication & Disciplinary Actions OMCC will defer investigation to the Job Center Security Office and the police department. In all cases, investigations that result in a finding will lead to the initiation of disciplinary procedures against the accused individual. College sanctions including suspension, expulsion, termination of employment, may be imposed upon those determined to have violated this policy. For students, sexual assaults, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking are violations of the Student Code of Conduct. Employees who violate this policy will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment. These criminal acts will also subject the perpetrator to criminal and civil penalties under federal, state and local laws. The Title IX Coordinator will determine if interim interventions should be implemented, and, if so, take steps to implement those protective measures, as soon as possible. Examples of interim protective measures include, but are not limited to: an order of no contact, a leave of absence, or reassignment to a different supervisor or position. These remedies may be applied to one, both, or multiple parties involved. Violations of the Title IX Coordinator s directives and or protective measures will constitute related violations that may lead to additional disciplinary actions. Protective measures imposed may be temporary pending the results of an investigation or may become permanent as determined by OMCC. Sex Offender Registration The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (CSCPA) of 2000 is a federal law that provides for the tracking of convicted sex offenders enrolled at, or employed by, institutions of higher education. Under the law, state and local law enforcement agencies must provide Colleges and Universities in their jurisdiction with a list of registered sex offenders who have indicated that they are either enrolled, employed, or carrying on a vocation at the institution. A list of all registered sex offenders is available on the National Sex Offender Registry website at On this website, you can search for offenders attending OMCC by selecting the search within 1 mile radius option and entering the campus address. You can also obtain a list from your State or Local Police Departments. The CSCPA further amends the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) to clarify that nothing in the Act can prohibit an educational institution from disclosing information provided to the institution concerning registered sex offenders.
