ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT This report and the following security policies are being issued pursuant to the Federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the Clery Act).
Annual Security Report Park University is dedicated to providing faculty, staff and students with information that they need to help make each Park campus center safe. Park University encourages the accurate and prompt reporting of crimes and emergencies. At the Parkville Campus such incidents should be reported to the Park University Department of Public Safety. This report can be filed in person at the department office located in Thompson Commons or by phone at (816) 584-6444. At the Downtown Kansas City, Mo., Campus Center, reports should also be filed at the Security Department of Tower Properties, 911 Main, lower level (816) 374-0617. All other Park University Campus Centers should report such incidents to the local policing authority with a follow-up report to the campus center director who shall forward these to the Park University Director of Public Safety for reporting purposes. Park University public safety officers do not have arrest powers. Any crime or emergency which occurs off-campus, but at an officially recognized activity of Park University, shall be reported as if it happened on campus. The possession, use or sale of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs on Park University campus centers is prohibited. Student orientation videos and periodic bulletin listings and announcements help inform students, faculty and staff throughout the year about crime prevention and campus security procedures and policies. Timely Warning Policy In the event that a situation arises, either on or off any Park University campus that in the judgment of the Director of Public Safety constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus wide “timely warning� will be issued. This warning will be issued through the University e-mail system to students, faculty and staff, and through the Parkville Campus newspaper, The Stylus. Depending on the particular circumstances of the crime, especially in all situations that could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the Department of Public Safety may also post a notice on its website at www.park.edu/safety/crime_alert.asp, providing the University community with more immediate notification. In such instances, a copy of the notice will be posted in each residence hall. If the incident occurs on a campus other than the Parkville Campus, a notice shall be posted in plain view at that campus, in addition to the above listed locations. Anyone with information warranting a timely warning shall report the circumstances to the Department of Public Safety at (816) 584-6444, or in person at the Public Safety office in Thompson Commons, or with the campus center director of your respective campus.
