The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act requires all colleges and universities in the United States to report their crime statistics, campus security/law enforcement policies, and reporting procedures to the United States Department of Education and the campus community annually. Colleges and universities in Pennsylvania have been reporting this information under a similar act, Pennsylvania Act #73.  This act requires all colleges and universities to report their crime statistics to the Pennsylvania State Police and the campus community.

The Campus Security Act requires colleges and universities to:

• Publish an annual report every year by October 1 that contains three years of campus crime statistics and certain campus security policy statements.
• Disclose crime statistics for the campus and public areas immediately adjacent to or running through our campus. The statistics must be gathered from local law enforcement and
  college officials who have “significant responsibility for student and campus activities”;
• Provide “timely warning” notices of those crimes that have occurred and pose an ongoing “threat to students and employees”;
• Disclose in a public crime log “any crime that occurred on campus or within the patrol jurisdiction of the Operations Department. This log is available to the public during normal business hours.

Once a year Johnson College will sent an e-mail notification to all students, faculty, and staff providing the web site link needed to access the Johnson College Campus Security Report and Fire Safety Report. Copies of this report may also be obtained from the Operations Director in Richmond Hall or by calling 570-702-8944.

Confidential Reporting Procedures:
If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the Johnson College administrative system or within the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider making a confidential report. With your permission, the Operations Director or Student Life Director can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing your identity. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential but provide the College with useful information to ensure the future safety of you and the campus community. This information also allows the College to keep an accurate record of incidents involving students, analyze if there is a pattern of crime and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crimes statistics for the College.

Off-Campus Activity:
The student conduct code is in effect on and off campus; therefore, students must display behavior that reflects favorably on them, the College, and the community. Students charged with violations of state law committed off campus shall be subject to College disciplinary proceedings if the action poses a threat to the mission of the College or to the health and safety of the college community. This may include an involuntary leave of absence until the case has been resolved. After legal resolution, the College may take further disciplinary action.  Johnson College has a cooperative working relationship with the Scranton Police Department and nearby law enforcement jurisdictions including the Pennsylvania State Police.

Immediate Threat Timely Warnings/Notifications:
The Operations Department may receive information about a potential emergency situation from campus departments or individuals on campus, the Scranton Police Department, the Pennsylvania State Police, governmental emergency management agencies or the media.  If the Operations Department determines that there is or may be an emergency or situation that provides an immediate threat to the health and safety of the College community, a message will be sent to campus without delay unless issuing a notification will, in the judgment of the first responders (Scranton Police Department or other law enforcement agency) compromise the efforts to assist a victim or to respond to the emergency.  Notifications to campus will be sent using one or more of the following systems: college email system, the Agility Emergency Notification system, the college website or campus telephone systems.  Safety Alerts will be issued either to the entire campus or to a particular building or location if the threat is limited to a particular building or area of campus.

Students who are interested in receiving information about campus emergencies should sign up for the emergency text message system by providing their cell phone number and phone carrier to the Director of Student Life.   Faculty and Staff should provide their cell phone number and phone carrier to the Human Resources Coordinator.

On at least an annual basis, Johnson College will conduct a test of its emergency notification and evacuation systems.  These tests will be coordinated by the Operations Director and will include tests to the entire campus community including academic areas, administrative buildings, and residential buildings.

The individuals responsible for determining whether an emergency notification should be sent to the Johnson College community or to the external community include:

Dr. Ann L. Pipinski, President and CEO
Donald Ryan, Operations Director
Dominick Carachilo, Vice President of Academic Affairs
Melissa Ide, Vice President of Enrollment Management

Daily Crime Log:
The Operations and Student Life Departments maintain a Daily Crime Log that records all crimes and other serious incidents that occur on campus, in a non-campus building or property, or on public property adjacent to our campus.  The Crime Log is available for public inspection at Richmond Hall from Monday through Friday during regular business hours. The Crime Log includes the nature, date, time, and general location of each crime reported to the department, as well as the disposition of the complaint, if this information is known at the time the log is created. Campus Safety posts specific incidents in the Crime Log within two business days of receiving a report of an incident and reserves the right to exclude reports from the log in certain circumstances.

Access to Campus Facilities and Residence Halls:
Access to the Johnson College buildings and campus is a privilege extended to students, faculty, staff, and authorized guests. The college encourages an open environment with limited restrictions.   The Facilities Department and our contract Security Guards maintain a schedule of locking and unlocking all campus buildings based on usage, campus events and safety/security concerns.  The College utilizes an alarm system in all classrooms, recreational and administrative buildings to detect fire or unauthorized entrance.

Access to individual residence apartments is gained through a locking exterior door.  Only residents of each residential suite and authorized college personnel have key access to each residential apartment.    The Department of Student Life holds periodic group and individual meetings with residential students to describe safety procedures and develop safety awareness.

The Facilities Department maintains all campus buildings and grounds. Facilities Department employees regularly inspect the campus property for any safety issues. The Campus Safety Committee conducts periodic regular inspections of all campus buildings for safety concerns. All students, staff and visitors may report any safety concern to the Facilities Department (570-702-8984) or Dr. Colin Bullmore, Chairperson of the Campus Safety Committee (570-702-8965).

Emergency Evacuation Procedure:
Johnson College holds emergency evacuation drills each semester in all campus buildings. The purpose of these drills is to ensure that students and staff know the locations of the building emergency exits and how to evacuate the buildings in the event of an emergency situation.  These drills also provide Johnson College with the opportunity to evaluate our safety procedures, ensure equipment is working properly and correct any deficiencies.

Evacuation drills are monitored by the Operations Department, the Facilities Department, Student Life Department and other campus personnel.  These departments observe these drills to learn about potential deficiencies in procedures or equipment.

Notification of Missing Students:
