Timely Warning Procedure In the event that a situation arises on or off campus that the College determines is an ongoing or continuing threat, a College-wide “timely warning” may be issued per requirements of the Jeanne Clery Act. Initial notification will occur through the College web page.

Timely warnings are usually issued for the following classifications:  arson  burglary  robbery  aggravated assault  criminal homicide  sex offenses  any other emergency as deemed necessary.

Depending on the particular circumstances of the threat, especially in situations that pose an immediate or on-going threat to the College community and individuals, a copy of the notice may be posted on-campus throughout the Campuses and Centers of Spoon River College.

Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to the Vice President or the Dean of Student Services.

Emergency Notification Spoon River College uses an emergency notification to notify students and employees in a timely manner when it is determined that there is a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus. The notification to the campus community may contain only the information that is reasonably necessary to promote the safety of the campus community as dictated by the situation. An emergency notification will be released as soon as reasonably necessary and without delay, unless notification will compromise efforts to assist a victim, or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. After the initial notification, follow-up information may be disseminated to the College community via e-mails, web site postings, and other communication mediums.

An emergency notification can be related to criminal activity that is not subject to the timely warning standard required by the Clery Act. In addition, there may be notifications made for circumstances that are not necessarily related to criminal activity. Examples of situations that may constitute the College’s decision to issue an emergency notification include, but are not limited to, situations where serious injuries may or have occurred, or situations that cause major disruption to campus operations.

CRIME DEFINITIONS from the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook: Arson Any willful or malicious burning or attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.

Criminal Homicide - Murder by Negligence The killing of another person through gross negligence.

Criminal Homicide - Murder and Non-negligent Manslaughter The willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another.

Robbery The taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.

Aggravated Assault An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. (It is not necessary that injury result from an aggravated assault when a gun, knife, or other weapon is used which could and probably would result in serious personal injury if the crime were successfully completed.)
