4 Message from the Chief Dear Sacramento State Community: In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), Sacramento State is pleased to introduce the 2017 Jeanne Clery Act Annual Security Report. Enclosed you will find information about key institutional policies, personal safety and crime prevention, how to report suspicious and criminal activities, and required Clery Act crime statistics for the last three calendar years. Sacramento State combines a beautiful campus setting in the heart of California, top-rated student residential facilities, a world-class track, which could arguably be the best in the United States, and a friendly and collaborative atmosphere to provide an educational experience that fosters intellectual, cognitive, social, and personal growth. Sacramento State continues to strive for academic excellence in education. Safety remains an integral part in reaching our milestones in the first 50 years and continues to be an integral part of our continued success as we move forward. This report compiles information gathered from throughout our community in 2016 and includes reports from all divisions and all employees defined in the Clery Act as "campus security authorities." It shows the commitment of Sacramento State to provide policies, practices, and outreach that support the safest community possible for all to live, work, and learn. Crime prevention and safety takes the cooperation and collaboration of the entire community. The Sacramento State Police Department appreciates working with and within the Sacramento State community to maintain a proactive approach to safety. I wish everyone a successful educational experience and appreciate your on-going support in keeping Sacramento State safe and prosperous. Mark M. Iwasa Chief of Police 4 Page

5 Preparing the Annual Security Report Preparing the Annual Security Report The Clery Director prepares the Annual Security Report (ASR) on behalf of the University to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The Clery Director works in cooperation with departments from all divisions within the University, such as University Housing, Student Affairs, the Office of Equal Opportunity, Academic Affairs, Athletics, Counseling Services, and the Student Health Center and all employees designated as campus security authorities (CSAs) under the Clery Act. The above listed partners provide crime statistics, policy related information, and their educational efforts and programs for Clery Act reportable crimes, hate crimes, and violations of state and local drug, liquor, and weapons law occurring in Clery Geography where arrests or referrals for discipline were made. The Sacramento State Police Department is responsible for collecting, compiling, and verifying statistics received from campus security authorities, local law enforcement, and non-campus properties or facilities owned or controlled by the University. The statistics are then analyzed and compiled based on Clery Act definitions and hierarchy. The Sacramento State Police Department maintains working relationships with all local, county, state, and federal public safety agencies to encourage statistical Clery Act reporting by those agencies serving the public property areas as well as identified non-campus properties that the Sacramento State Police Department does not patrol or provide the primary law enforcement response for. Crime statistics are collected from local law enforcement agencies for any non-campus University fraternity and sorority houses privately owned by those entities. Sacramento State s policy for preparing the Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics can be found at Sacramento State s policy for collecting and reporting crime statistics can be found at Distribution of Annual Security Report (ASR) The Annual Security Report will be posted on the Sacramento State s Police Department s home page. The Clery Director in coordination with the appropriate departments will disseminate a notice by to all current students and employees that the Annual Security Report is published and available. Additionally, notices regarding the existence of the Annual Security Report, its contents, the availability of the report on the Internet, and how to obtain a paper copy, if desired, are included in several University publications and on the Employee Services web site. Copies of the report may also be obtained at the University Library, the Police Service Center located in the University Union, and by request from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and the Sacramento State Police Department. The Clery Director in coordination with the Human Resources Department, Office of Admissions, Department of Student Affairs, or other appropriate department will ensure that the availability of the Annual Security Report is posted within appropriate campus employment websites, campus 5 Page

6 application materials, campus course catalogs, and other locations to ensure notice is provided to all prospective employees and students that the ASR is available upon request. For more information regarding the ASR, please contact Nikki Khamsouksay, Clery Director at or Crime Statistics Clery Act Crime Statistics Crime statistics are reported pursuant to the guidelines specified in the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Disclosure Act, which use the definitions under the FBI Uniformed Crime Reporting procedures, and separated by the following geographical areas: On-Campus: any building or property owned or controlled by the University within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area. On-Campus Residential: on-campus residential facilities for students (American River Courtyard, Desmond Hall, Draper Hall, Jenkins Hall, Sierra Hall, Sutter Hall, and the Upper Eastside Lofts). Please note that the statistics reported in this category are a subset of those reported in the On-Campus category (i.e., a crime that occurred at an on-campus residential facility for students is reported in both the On-Campus and On-Campus Residential categories). Non-Campus: any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or any building or property owned or controlled by the University that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the University s educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the University. Public Property: all public property including parks, thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities that is within the campus or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. Crime Statistics The Clery Act requires Sacramento State to include four general categories of crime statistics: 1. Criminal and Sex Offenses The definitions used for the criminal offenses of Murder, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Arson are consistent with those in the FBI s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Summary Reporting System (SRS) User Manual. The definitions used for the sex offenses of Fondling, Incest, and Statutory Rape are consistent with those in the FBI s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Data Collection Guidelines edition of the UCR. 2. Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Offenses The definitions used for the VAWA offenses of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and 6 Page

7 Stalking are consistent with those provided by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 1994 and repeated in the Department of Education s Clery Act regulations. 3. Hate Crimes The definition used for Hate Crimes, a criminal offense that manifests evidence that the victim was intentionally selected because of the perpetrator s bias against the victim, is consistent with the definition provided by the FBI s Uniform Crime Reporting Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and Training Manual. 4. Clery Arrests and Referrals for Disciplinary Action As required by the Clery Act, the University also reports arrests and referrals for disciplinary action for Liquor Law, Drug Law, and Weapons Law violations. The definitions used for Liquor Law, Drug Law, and Weapons Law violations are consistent with those in the FBI s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Summary Reporting System (SRS) User Manual. For Clery Act purposes, an arrest occurs when a person is processed by arrest, citation, or summons, and a referral for disciplinary action means the referral of any person to any official who initiates a disciplinary action of which a record is established and which may result in the imposition of a sanction. More information on the Clery Act definitions used for the above categories of crimes can be found in Chapter 3 (Crime Statistics: Classifying and Counting Clery Act Crimes) of The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting, 2016 Edition, available at 7 Page

10 Hate Crimes There were no reported hate crimes in 2014, 2015, and Reporting Criminal Actions & Emergencies Sacramento State strongly encourages all members of the campus community who believe they are victims of a crime of any nature or have witnessed a crime to immediately report the incident to any member of the Sacramento State Police Department, including but not limited to dispatch, police officers, community service specialists, community service officers, or the police agency of jurisdiction where the crime occurred. This will ensure an effective investigation and appropriate follow-up actions, including the issuance of a Timely Warning or emergency notification. Sacramento State does not currently have procedures for victims or witnesses to directly report crimes to the Sacramento State Police Department anonymously on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the Annual Security Report. However, a procedure is in place to anonymously capture crime statistics disclosed confidentially to campus health and counseling practitioners as well as Title IX Coordinators for inclusion in the Annual Security Report. Violations of law are referred to law enforcement agencies and, when appropriate, to the Office of Student Affairs for review. Prompt and accurate reporting of crime is encouraged. All members of the campus community are encouraged to contact law enforcement on the victim s behalf when the victim of a crime elects to or is unable to make such a report. Bystander intervention is a powerful concept that is highly valued at Sacramento State. Campus Reporting Options 1. Sacramento State Police Department Public Safety Building, 6000 J Street, Sacramento, CA Phone: Hours: The Sacramento State Police department provides 24-hour law enforcement services throughout the entire year, including all holidays. For in-progress crimes or suspicious activity, including all fire or medical emergencies: Call or dial from any campus phone. Blue-light phones: Police dispatch can be also contacted directly by pushing the red button on a "blue-light" campus emergency phone. The emergency phones are strategically located throughout the entire campus and have blue lights for easy visibility. 2. Campus Security Authority While the University prefers that community members promptly report all crimes and other emergencies directly to the Sacramento State Police Department, we also recognize that some may prefer to report to other individuals or university offices. The Clery Act recognizes certain university officials and offices as campus security authorities. Therefore, reporting of crime incidents on-campus may be made to non-police campus security authorities, who are officials of the institution with significant responsibilities for students and student activities (including, but not limited to, athletic coaches, resident advisors, and club advisors). Confidential crime reporting can be made by CSAs when the victim of the crime elects not to or is unable to make such a report. 10 Page

11 3. Title IX Coordinator If a student prefers not to notify the police regarding a Clery Act crime, they are strongly encouraged to seek assistance from the campus Title IX Coordinator, who can provide information on resources, options, rights, remedies, and/or referral to a sexual assault counselor or advocate. The Title IX Coordinator is also available to assist students with notifying the police. The University s Title IX Coordinator is the Director of Equal Opportunity, William D. Bishop. He can be reached at: Hornet Bookstore, Suite 1009, 6000 J Street, Sacramento, CA william.bishop@csus.edu Phone: Hours: Monday Friday; 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 4. Local Police Crimes occurring off-campus should be immediately reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency of jurisdiction: City of Sacramento Police Department ( ) California Highway Patrol ( ) Sacramento County Sheriff s Department ( ) Additional information regarding Sacramento State s policy on reporting crimes can be found at Daily Crime Log The Sacramento State Police Department maintains a publicly available Daily Crime Log. The daily crime is log available each business day and can be accessed/requested at the Sacramento State Police Department either in person or by contacting Nikki Khamsouksay, Clery Director at nikki.khamsouksay@csus.edu. Summaries of the daily crime logs are posted on the Police Department s website on a weekly basis at Daily Crime Logs more than seven years old are not retained, consistent with Clery Act requirements. Timely Warnings The intent of a timely warning is to warn the campus community regarding a criminal incident to enable people to protect themselves and to aid in the prevention of similar crimes. The University will issue a timely warning as soon as pertinent information is available when a Clery reportable crime is reported to the Sacramento State Police Department or a designated campus security authority, occurred in a Clery defined geographical area, and a case by case analysis of pertinent facts known is completed and a determination is made that an on-going or continuing threat to the community exists. The Chief of Police is responsible for the decision to issue a timely warning (or a management designee in the absence of the Chief), upon receiving a report of an incident reported to a CSA and/or the Sacramento State Police Department. The Chief of Police (or a management designee in the absence of the Chief) will complete a case by case analysis utilizing open communication and collaboration analyzing the reported crime and the known pertinent facts of a reported incident to determine whether the incident meets all of the following factors: 1) is a Clery reportable crime; 2) occurred in Clery defined geography; and 3) poses a serious or ongoing threat to the community. If it is determined that any of the three factors are not met, then no timely warning will be issued. If it is determined that all three factors are met, the Chief of Police (or management designee is the absence of the Chief) will determine the content of the timely warning bulletin and disseminate the 11 Page

12 timely warning expeditiously in a manner likely to reach the entire campus community utilizing one or more of, and not limited to, the following methods: All employee and student distribution; University website and social media; Public area video display monitors; Hard copies posted on campus building entrance doors; Text message and phone message; and/or Emergency Notification System. For clarity to the community when a timely warning is issued, it will be titled Timely Warning Crime Bulletin and include the following: A statement that the Timely Warning Bulletin is being issued in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act and the purpose is to provide preventative information to the campus community to aid members from becoming the victim of a similar crime; The Clery Act reportable crime that occurred; The date, time, and location the crime occurred; The date the Timely Warning Bulletin is issued; A description of the suspect, and name if known, when the suspect is at large and evading apprehension and/or law enforcement is seeking assistance from the public to locate; and Preventative information specifically related to the type of crime which occurred that could help others from becoming the victim of a similar crime. The Timely Warning Bulletins will not include, under any circumstances, the name of the victim, or information so specific that it would or likely could identify the victim of a crime of sexual violence to include rape, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking. Issuance of timely warnings will be delayed only if the issuance would compromise the apprehension of the suspect or compromise the ability of law enforcement to investigate the crime. Further information on the Emergency Notification System is available in the Emergency Notification, Response, and Evacuation Procedures section. Voluntary Confidential Reporting Pursuant to California Education Code section 67380(a)(6)(A), CSAs who receive reports from employees or students of a Part I violent crime, 1 sexual assault, or hate crime that occurred in an on- or non-campus location as defined by the Clery Act may not disclose to the Sacramento State Police Department or local law enforcement agencies the name of the victim unless the victim consents to disclosing their name after being informed of their right to have their personally identifying information withheld. Additionally, the name of the alleged assailant may be disclosed, however, only if both of the following conditions are met: i. The alleged assailant represents a serious or ongoing threat to the safety of students, employees, or the institution; and ii. The immediate assistance of the local law enforcement agency is necessary to contact or detain the alleged assailant. 12 Page

13 1 For the purpose of this section, Part I violent crime means willful homicide, forcible rape, robbery, or aggravated assault, as defined in the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Security of and Access to Campus Facilities Statement of Policy for Addressing Facility Access and Security It is the practice of Sacramento State that all buildings be opened prior to the beginning of the business day and locked nightly after the conclusion of the last scheduled event. Space Management provides a daily schedule to Facilities Services; buildings are locked based on that schedule. Custodial Services and Community Service Specialists are responsible for the unlocking of buildings on a daily basis for scheduled classes and other approved activities. After a building is locked, only employees with offices inside, security personnel, and personnel with maintenance responsibilities have access to the building. Access to University residential facilities is limited to residents, their guests, and selected staff. The University s Residence Hall policy requires that exterior doors be locked at all times, including holidays and semester breaks. All residents have been issued a key fob for personal access to exterior doors, interior areas, and restroom facilities. All guests must be accompanied by residents or staff. The residential community is patrolled cooperatively by the Sacramento State Police Department and onduty Residential Life personnel, which includes Residential Life Advisors and Coordinators. Security and Maintenance of Campus Facilities The Sacramento State Police Department has personnel on duty 24/7 throughout the year who conduct regular patrols of all campus facilities. The campus employs both video and intrusion alarm systems at crucial areas throughout the campus to strengthen its security capabilities. Facilities Services maintains the University s buildings and grounds with a concern for security and safety. Campus facilities and grounds are inspected on a regular basis to ensure that repairs (for example, to broken windows and locks) are made in an expeditious manner. The Sacramento State Police Department also receives information from the campus community regarding damaged roadways, overgrowth of shrubbery, and other areas in need of repair. This information is forwarded to Facilities Services in a timely manner. Lighting surveys are conducted twice annually so that improvements or repairs can be made to various locations on campus. Annually, all emergency blue-light telephones are checked by the Sacramento State Police Department and logged. A log is kept reflecting the date the phones were tested. The campus community is encouraged to report safety concerns, exterior lighting, or emergency telephone malfunctions to Facilities Services at or the Sacramento State Police Department at so repairs can be made promptly. Sacramento State s policy and procedures for facility access and security are located on our website at Firearms and Dangerous Weapons Firearms and other dangerous weapons of any kind are not permitted on campus or in the residential 13 Page

Faculty, students, staff, and visitors are strictly prohibited by State law from intentional use, possession, or sale of firearms or any other dangerous weapon or explosives, or any item presented to be construed as such, on campus or any property owned or under the University's control. This prohibition applies to any individual regardless of whether a federal or state license has been issued, other than sworn law enforcement officers and members of the military forces who are engaged in official duties and honorably retired Peace Officers who are authorized to carry a concealed or loaded firearm. Law Enforcement Authority Sacramento State Police Department Role and Authority The Sacramento State Police Department has the responsibility to provide police services to the Sacramento State campus and all properties owned, leased, or controlled by California State University, Sacramento.

Frequency: Some upon request; some (e.g., RAs, Greek new member education) at the beginning of each year/semester. Criminal Activity at Non-campus Locations of Student Organizations A campus policy is under development that will specifically address how the campus records and monitors, through local law enforcement agencies, all criminal activity by students at non-campus locations of student organizations officially recognized by the campus, including organizations with non-campus housing facilities such as the fraternity and sorority houses,. Until the campus policy is officially adopted, the Sacramento State Police Department utilizes the MOU with the City of Sacramento Police Department to record and monitor criminal activities of officially recognized noncampus fraternities, sororities, and other student organizations controlling residences and/or property located within the City of Sacramento. Sacramento State recognizes one sorority house as a non-campus location. The Sacramento State Police Department requests crime reports and statistics about crimes occurring at this location from the local police department. The Sacramento State Police Department may also respond to crimes in progress at non-campus locations of student organizations, depending upon the nature of the crime and the proximity to the campus. Crime reports and statistics for these locations are maintained by the local police department; however, they are included in the Annual Security Report. When a local law enforcement agency notifies the Sacramento State Police Department of criminal conduct by a campus-affiliated group recognized by Sacramento State, University officers may gather information and refer the incident to Student Conduct for further investigation. Alcohol and Drugs Policy Policy Statement Governing Alcohol and Drugs Sacramento State is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for the University community. Alcohol and other drugs should not interfere with the University's educational mission. All Sacramento State students, faculty, and staff are subject to local, state, and federal laws regarding the unlawful possession, distribution, or use of alcohol and illegal drugs. Violators are subject to University discipline, criminal prosecution, and/or removal from University housing. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of illegal drugs on the University campus or at any University-sponsored event off-campus is also prohibited. The Sacramento State Police Department strictly enforces federal and state laws, as well as the University's zero-tolerance policy, for underage drinking and the use and sale of illegal drugs. No one may use illegal substances, or abuse legal substances, including alcohol. Students engaging in the sale of illegal drugs may be arrested and face University discipline, up to and including expulsion. Students found in violation of the University s alcohol, drug, and weapons policies may also be subject to arrest, academic probation, suspension, and/or expulsion. Parents or guardians may be notified by the Office of Student Affairs about any University disciplinary violation involving alcohol or a controlled substance that has been committed by a student who is under the age of Page

18 Employees in violation of the University s Alcoholic Beverage and Drug Policy may be subject to arrest, corrective action, and dismissal or be required to participate fully in an approved counseling or rehabilitation program. Applicable legal sanctions under federal, state, and local statutes for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol range from probation, diversion, or imprisonment in the county jail to imprisonment in state prison. A police officer can confiscate the driver license from any person suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs who refuses to take a blood alcohol test. The use of alcoholic beverages must be in compliance with California law and is strictly limited to persons 21 years of age or older. The possession, transportation, and consumption of alcoholic beverages by individuals younger than 21 years of age are strictly prohibited. Alcoholic beverages may not be consumed in public areas and must be concealed and not in plain view when transported by persons over the age of 21 in the Residence Halls. Housing policies prohibit residents under the age of 21 from hosting guests or residents of any age in their room or apartment who are in possession of alcohol. Only beer and wine may be consumed in the Residence Halls and only by residents over the age of 21; distilled liquor is not allowed. Some campus departments have an alcohol/drug policy tailored to their specialized needs (e.g., Athletics), which can be found in the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Biennial Review. Sacramento State s protocol is to distribute information related to alcohol and drug abuse to students, faculty, and staff annually. This information is disseminated via the Message to Sac State, a document covering the health effects of alcohol and drugs as well as campus and state policy. The Message to Sac State is distributed by mail, , and/or new student orientation to all students, faculty, and staff, as required by the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act. The document includes a description of Sacramento State s and California s alcohol and drug policies (and related sanctions); facts about the risks and health impacts of alcohol/drug abuse; and University and community resources. For additional information regarding the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) go to promotion/biennialreview_sacramentostate_ pdf. Sacramento State s Alcoholic Beverage and Drug Policy is located on our website at Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Programs Sacramento State provides useful and informative education programs throughout the year to prevent drug and alcohol abuse. The Sacramento State Police Department enforces violations proactively through education and community contacts. Officers and Residential Life staff regularly make residents aware of the policies regarding drug alcohol use and abuse as well as personal safety and crime prevention information. Drug and alcohol prevention presentations and information are provided throughout the year at orientations, various University classes, upon request for departments and areas, and in conjunction with sponsored campus activities. Sacramento State has a long history of offering alcohol free alternative programming for students and the larger campus community. Included among these opportunities are the following: Greek New Member Education: New Greek members are required to participate in an educational program addressing alcohol issues, including alcohol poisoning and driving under the influence, and 18 Page

19 sexual assault. This program also includes information regarding prescription drug abuse and identification.

Outreach Events: Special events are conducted throughout campus at different times of the academic year to educate students about alcohol use, abuse, and misuse. These events provide activities and information on high risk drinking, drinking and driving, simulated intoxicated behavior through the use of Fatal Vision Goggles, sample mocktails (non alcoholic drinks), and information about campus and community policies, health and safety strategies, and resources. Specific events include WELLcome Back, an ASI Block Party, the Vagina Monologues, Wellness Fair, Safer Spring Break, National Condom Day, Safer Summer Break, and DeStress Fest. Classroom Presentations: Classroom and campus educational presentations are based on requests from faculty, staff, and student clubs and organizations.
