This report is filed as required by the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, hereafter referred to as the Clery Act. The purpose of this report is to provide SUNY Brockport faculty, staff and students with campus safety information, including crime statistics and procedures to follow to report a crime. Any questions regarding this report should be directed to the Office of the Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, (585) 395-2772, or e-mail helpline@brockport.edu.

General Security Information

In 2006 – 2007, 6,916 undergraduates and 1,396 graduate students were enrolled at the State University of New York College at Brockport. More than 2,500 undergraduate students reside in 12 residence halls on the main campus. The College employs over 600 full- and part-time faculty. Students, faculty and employees have access to academic, recreational and administrative facilities on campus during regular hours of operation. Access to the residence halls, however, is limited to students and their guests according to the visitor/guest procedure. Access to the residence halls by College employees is on an “as needed” basis and incorporates strict control procedures.

The public may attend cultural and recreational events on campus, with their access limited to the facilities in which these events are held. To report any violations of this policy or to report any suspicious circumstance, please call the University Police, (585) 395-2226.

Crime Reporting

All members of the campus community are urged to report criminal incidents, emergencies and suspicious activity. The campus emergency number is (585) 395-2222, and this should be used for all fire, medical and police emergencies. All reports are classified, logged and responded to appropriately.

Crimes in progress and any other emergencies on campus can be reported directly by any student, faculty member, or employee, to the University Police, (585) 395-2222. The University Police can also be reached using campus blue-light emergency phones or the residence hall door phones. Upon receipt of the call, University Police officers are dispatched immediately to the site of the complaint. They prepare and submit incident reports, which are kept on file.

Members of the campus community can also report criminal incidents to the following offices:

Office of the Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, (585) 395-2137
Office of Student Affairs, (585) 395-5990
Student Conduct Coordinator, (585) 395-5196
Student Health Center, (585) 395-2414
Office of Residential Life/Learning Communities, (585) 395-2122
Student Counseling Center, (585) 395-2207
Helpline, (585) 395-2796

Victims are permitted to report crime on a voluntary, confidential basis. Reports of this nature are to be filed with the University Police for information purposes, but there is no formal investigation of the incident. Counselors at the College’s Counseling Center, who are informed by persons they are counseling of the commission of a crime, may also inform that person that crimes can be reported to the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the College’s crime statistics only. Incidents of sexual assault may also be reported to the Rape Crisis Service at (585) 546-2777 or (800) 527-1757.

For staff and students living off campus, crimes and emergencies may be reported by dialing 911.

In the event of a major emergency, or if there is an event that poses a threat to students, employees, or others, a “Campus Safety Alert” will be prepared and distributed to:

the College’s Web site at brockport.edu;
WBSU 89.1FM, The Point;
campus e-mail service; and
campus broadcast message via telephone voice mail.

University Police Department

Campus safety and security are coordinated by the University Police, which has a force of 17 sworn police officers with full arrest powers. As an armed police department, patrol members respond to all emergencies.

State University of New York police officers must meet the highest standards in New York state for law enforcement officers. The officers have passed a basic training program administered by the State University at the New York State Police Academy in Albany, NY, or a local regional police academy, and undergo continuous training to upgrade their skills. Officers have been trained in emergency medical procedures and first aid. They conduct foot, bike and vehicular patrols on the campus and residence hall areas 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The objective of the University Police Department is to provide a safe environment for teaching, research and social endeavors and to protect the lives and property of the students, employees and visitors of SUNY Brockport. This objective is pursued within the framework of State University rules and regulations and all local, state and federal laws. The investigation of crimes committed on the campus falls under the jurisdiction of the University Police Department. University Police also work closely with the Brockport Police Department, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department and the New York State Police.

Policy on Alcohol and Drugs

The illegal possession and/or use of marijuana, barbiturates, amphetamines, hallucinogenic compounds, narcotics and other controlled substances are in violation of state and federal law. SUNY Brockport permits the use of alcoholic beverages on campus by those who comply with state law and who adhere to the guidelines established by the College. Students living in the College residence halls who are 21 years of age or older are allowed to possess and consume alcoholic beverages in their rooms in compliance with state law and consistent with College regulations pertaining to possession and consumption. Members of the campus community in need of assistance with respect to a question or personal problem regarding alcohol or other drugs should contact the Student Health Center or the Counseling Center. A complete description of alcohol and other drug programs for our campus can be obtained from the Student Health Center.

Weapons on Campus

Firearms and dangerous weapons of any type are not permitted on campus. Intentional use, possession, or sale of firearms or other dangerous weapons by anyone is strictly forbidden and is a violation of state and federal law, as well as a violation of the College’s Codes of Student Social Conduct.

Daily Log

The University Police Department also maintains a daily log of crimes and incidents that occur on campus that is available for the public to view. This information is recorded by date, time, general location, and disposition of the complaint. This daily log is available at the University Police Department. Please note that entries or updates are generally made within two business days after the event occurs. Incidents or situations deemed to pose a threat to the campus community are logged as soon as possible.

While most events are logged, the chief of University Police may determine that an incident be classified as “confidential” in order not to jeopardize a criminal investigation or the identity of a victim.

Crime Prevention Activities

Members of the campus community are urged to secure their valuables and be aware of their surroundings. To assist in this endeavor, University Police hold educational programs each semester on a variety of topics, including personal safety awareness and security, rape awareness/sexual assertiveness training, operation ID and anti-theft programs. Information on safety and security is provided on request to students and employees, and regularly via seminars, crime alerts, posters, brochures, Statements and The Stylus. During Welcome Weekend, programs are presented that address sexual assault, fire safety and other personal safety topics. Students are also informed of many personal safety services available on campus, which include campus escort, rape counseling, mental health services, emergency medical care and Operation Identification.

Other services available through the University Police Department throughout the year include motorist assistance, lost and found and assistance with class projects.

The Office of Facilities and Planning maintains the campus buildings and grounds with a concern for safety and security. It inspects campus facilities regularly, promptly makes repairs affecting safety and security, and responds immediately to reports of potential safety and security hazards, such as broken windows and locks. If you have concerns about the physical safety of campus buildings and grounds, call the Office of Facilities and Planning, (585) 395-5210. For emergencies that occur during non-business hours, call University Police, (585) 395-2226.

The College campus is well-lighted, and is routinely monitored for safety and security. In addition to a telephone outlet in each student’s room, there are 47 blue-light emergency telephones strategically located throughout the campus, which are connected directly to University Police.

Relationships with other Police Departments

Criminal activity at off-campus residences occupied by students is brought to the attention of the University Police by Brockport Village Police. Village police may also assist the University Police as needed. Students involved in off-campus situations involving alcohol/drug offenses or other criminal activities may be referred to the student conduct system.

Campus Crime Statistics

In accordance with provisions of the Clery Act, the following data are presented to review crime activity both on campus and on streets adjacent to campus property. Reported on-campus offenses include all offenses reported on campus property and in campus buildings. A specific breakdown of offenses occurring in College-owned residence halls appears under “residence halls.”

Another category, “public property,” includes thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks and parking facilities immediately adjacent to the campus.

This section on campus crime statistics also includes arrests and disciplinary referrals made to campus authorities for alcohol, drugs and weapons possession. As defined by the Clery Act, a disciplinary referral is an instance when a student is formally reported in writing to the student conduct coordinator for possible sanction.

As required by the Clery Act, SUNY Brockport includes hate crimes in this report. For this purpose, a hate crime occurs when a person is victimized intentionally because of her/his actual or perceived race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability. Hate crimes presented for this report are only those related to the offenses that appear in the accompanying crime statistics chart, or where the victim sustained bodily injury.

The crimes presented are based on reports filed with University Police. Formal requests for crime statistics in areas defined as “public property” were made to the Brockport Police Department, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department and the Rochester Police Department, since the SUNY Brockport MetroCenter is located at 55 St. Paul Street in downtown Rochester. This facility is considered to be a “non-campus building” for Clery Act purposes. Reportable offenses, as defined in the Uniform Crime Report and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, are listed at the end of this chapter. A copy of the State University of New York at Brockport crime statistics, as reported annually to the US Department of Education, will also be provided upon request by the campus Personal Safety Committee. Please direct all such requests to the chief of University Police, (585) 395-2226. Information can also be obtained from the US Department of Education Web site at: http://ope.ed.gov/security/.

Security in Residence Halls

SUNY Brockport’s Office of Residential Life/Learning Communities is committed to providing a safe environment in the residence halls. Students are made aware of safety concerns and receive tips on prevention through brochures, pamphlets, hall meetings and presentations. While there are many safeguards in place for residence hall students, each student must do her/his part to ensure a safe and secure environment by adhering to all safety-related policies and procedures.

Each residence hall is supervised by a residence hall director (RD), a professional staff person who lives and works in the building. On almost every floor, there is also a resident assistant (RA). An RA is an upper-class student who has received extensive training in many different aspects of residence hall living. The resident directors and resident assistants undergo training in enforcing residence hall safety and security policies, and are aware of potential safety hazards and concerns. There is a resident director on duty for the campus every evening from 8 pm – 8 am, and each residence hall has an RA on duty from 7 pm – 7 am the next morning.

Every residence hall student is issued a key card to the main entrance of their residence hall and a key to their room. All residence halls are locked 24 hours a day. An on-campus telephone is located at the main entrance of each hall for visitors to contact students for entry. Student night desk attendants are on duty from 8 pm – 4 am. Night desk attendants sit at a desk with a telephone at the front entrance hall to check student IDs and register guests entering the residence hall with their host/hostess. They also report any unusual circumstances or situations in the residence hall.

Although the campus is a safe place to live, there is always the potential for crime; residence hall students should not be lulled into a false sense of security. We all need to be aware of our environment and the possible consequences of our behavior. SUNY Brockport is committed to maintaining an environment in which students, faculty, staff and guests can work together free from all forms of harassment, exploitation and intimidation. The College will act as needed to discourage, prevent, correct and, if necessary, discipline behavior that violates this standard of conduct. The College’s People Advocating Community Education (PACE) Team will promptly investigate allegations of unlawful discrimination or harassment based on race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability or marital status. Allegations of unlawful discrimination can also be discussed with the affirmative action officer, a counselor, an advisor, a resident director, a faculty member, or the vice president for enrollment management and student affairs.

Bias Crimes Prevention

Hate Crimes and the Law
It is a State University of New York College at Brockport University Police mandate to protect all members of the SUNY Brockport community by preventing and prosecuting bias or hate crimes that occur within the campus’ jurisdiction.

Hate crimes, also called bias crimes or bias-related crimes, are criminal activity motivated by the perpetrator’s bias or attitude against an individual victim or group based on perceived or actual personal characteristics, such as their race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or disability. Hate/bias crimes have received renewed attention in recent years, particularly since the passage of the Federal Hate/Bias Crime Reporting Act of 1990, and the New York State Hate Crimes Act of 2000, (Penal Law Article 485). Copies of the New York law are available from University Police, (585) 395-2226.

Penalties for bias-related crimes are very serious and range from fines to imprisonment for lengthy periods, depending on the nature of the underlying criminal offense, the use of violence or previous convictions of the offender. Perpetrators who are students will also be subject to campus disciplinary procedures where sanctions including dismissal are possible.

In addition to preventing and prosecuting hate/bias crimes, University Police also assist in addressing bias-related activities that do not rise to the level of a crime. These activities, referred to as bias incidents and defined by the university as acts of bigotry, harassment, or intimidation directed at a member or group within the State University of New York College at Brockport community based on national origin, ethnicity, race, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, color, creed, or marital status, may be addressed through the State University’s Discrimination Complaint Procedure or the campus conduct code. Bias incidents can be reported to University Police at (585) 395-2226 as well as to the Affirmative Action Officer at (585) 395-2109.

If you are a victim of, or witness to, a hate/bias crime on campus, report it to University Police by using a blue-light or other campus emergency telephone, calling University Police at (585) 395-2222 or stopping by University Police. University Police will investigate and follow the appropriate adjudication procedures.

Victims of bias crime or bias incidents can avail themselves of counseling and support services from the campus as follows: PACE, (585) 395-BIAS or Counseling Center, (585) 395-2207

For general information on State University of New York College at Brockport security procedures, call University Police, (585) 395-2226.

More information about bias-related and bias crimes, including up-to-date statistics on bias crimes is available from the chief of University Police, (585) 395-2226.

Sexual Assault Prevention

Sexual Assault and the Law
The State University of New York College at Brockport has programs in place to protect all members of the SUNY Brockport community from sexual assault, including programs for prevention and prosecution of these crimes that occur within the jurisdiction of University Police.

Victims of a sex crime may choose to report the offense to any office that appears on the first page of this chapter.

Allegations of sexual assault or rape occurring off campus should be reported to the Brockport Police Department, Monroe County Sheriff’s Department or the New York State Police. Telephone numbers, which include the number of the Rape Crisis Center, Student Counseling Center and SUNY Brockport’s Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, are listed under Crime Reporting in this chapter. Efforts will be made to ensure the confidentiality of all reports, except as required to investigate the alleged offenses.

Procedures and possible sanctions related to on-campus discipline are discussed in the Codes of Student Social Conduct. Victims of sex crimes should contact the student conduct coordinator at (585) 395-5196 for additional information. The Codes of Student Social Conduct outlines the procedures that can occur if a victim decides to report an incident. It is important to note that the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a disciplinary proceeding. Both the accuser and the accused will be informed of the outcome of any campus disciplinary action, including the sanction to be imposed. Such sanctions can include suspension and dismissal from the institution.

Victims of a sex offense will also be informed of their option to notify either University Police or another appropriate police agency, and will be assisted by College personnel in notifying the police if desired.

The University Police enforce all New York state laws, including those regulating underage drinking, the use of controlled substances and weapons.

Sexual Assault Information

If you are a victim of sexual assault:

Immediately report the assault to the police. Call (585) 395-2226 on campus, or 911 off campus. Police cannot investigate the incident as a crime unless you file a formal report. Reporting a crime to the police or to another campus office does not necessarily obligate you to follow through with criminal prosecution.
Go to a hospital emergency room as soon as possible if the assault involved a sexual penetration or other physical injuries. (Evidence can be collected several hours after an attack, but its value may be diminished.) Do not wash, change clothing, or otherwise “clean up.” Bring a full change of clothing because the clothes you were wearing at the time of the attack may be kept as evidence.
Your follow-up medical care is crucially important. You may need tests for sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.
No matter when or where the assault occurred, support and referral resources are available to help you. Contact the Counseling Center at (585) 395-2207 or the Rape Crisis Service at (585) 546-2777 or (800) 527-1757 for assistance.
