TO CHANCELLOR CARLO MONTEMAGNO OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR SIU CARBONDALE

Chancellor Montemagno,

I am pleased to present you with the Southern Illinois University Carbondale Department of Public Safety 2017 Annual Report. This report contains resource information and provides a year in review.

The 2017 year was an exceptional year for the Department of Public Safety. As we prepared for our first accreditation assessment, employees worked diligently to effectively serve the campus community and reduce crime. Department personnel worked in partnership with others not only to reduce crime, but to increase the sense of safety. The annual Uniform Crime Report statistics indicate a 55 percent reduction in crimes against persons and a 22 percent reduction in crimes against property from the previous year.

Department personnel fostered communications in meetings, in incident briefings, in presentations, in problem-solving policing projects, in our relationships with housing and student affairs, and more. Personnel conducted 668 community, campus, and housing presentations.

Staff worked with others across campus to make the 2017 Eclipse a successful event. Key personnel produced a plan to effectively deal with traffic, pedestrian flow, and crowd management. The comprehensive plan covered transportation, parking, bus routes, event security, concerts, amusement rides, vendors, emergency medical care, protecting a multi-million dollar telescope, and much, much more.

The department achieved accreditation through the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program. Accreditation programs are voluntary, but standards must be maintained on a continuous basis in order for an agency to continue with full compliance. Personnel within accredited agencies must continuously challenge themselves and transform processes. Only a small percentage of agencies are enrolled in an accreditation process. Even fewer achieve the honor of becoming accredited.

The department promoted the university mission with professionalism, honor, dedication and integrity. We are thankful of the support of the Executive Director for Administration and Finance, the university administration and the university community.

Respectfully submitted, Benjamin Newman Director of Public Safety, Chief of Police

GOALS FOR 2018 45 4 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety AUTHORITY The authority of the Southern Illinois University Police Department comes from the U.S. Constitution, the Illinois Constitution and Illinois statutes. The three documents define the scope and limits of law enforcement authority as it pertains to the enforcement of laws, statutes, ordinances and arrests. The Board of Trustees of the university was given authority to employ police officers under Illinois Statute 110 ILCS 520/8. All police officers employed by the SIU Department of Public Safety meet the standards established for police officers by the Illinois Law Enforcement Standards Board. Members of the SIU Police Department are conservators of the peace; as such, they have all powers possessed by policemen in cities and counties, including the power to make arrests on view or warrants of violations of state statutes, university rules and regulations, and city or county ordinances. They may exercise such powers only within counties wherein the university and any of its branches or properties are located when such is required for the protection of university properties and interests, and its students and personnel, and otherwise, within such counties, when requested by appropriate state or local law enforcement officials. While on duty, SIU Police authority and responsibilities come from Illinois Statutes 725 ILCS 5/107-2 and 110 ILCS 520/8, which gives SIU police officers full arrest authority. SIU police officers are given authority to make an arrest when: (1) the law enforcement officer has a warrant commanding that such a person be arrested; or (2) the law enforcement officer believes, on reasonable grounds, that a warrant for the person’s arrest has been issued in this state; or (3) the law enforcement officer believes, on reasonable grounds, that a felony warrant has been issued in this state; or (4) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the person is committing or has committed a crime. Southern Illinois University Carbondale includes properties in and around the city of Carbondale, the county of Jackson, the county of Williamson and the state of Illinois. The SIU Police Department’s jurisdiction includes all property owned or controlled by the university, as well as streets adjacent to, and running through, the university campus. The department has entered into a formal mutual aid agreement with the Carbondale Police Department and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department as part of the Police Routine Assistance Agreement. SIU police officers also work with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, state and federal law enforcement agencies and all appropriate agencies of the criminal justice system. These agencies routinely exchange crime-related reports and statistics, and conduct cooperative patrols, special events, investigations and special unit operations.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 7 8 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety ACCREDITATION

In August 2015, the Department of Public Safety began a process to meet formal, recognized professionalism in policing standards. The Department enrolled in the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP). This program provides Illinois policing agencies the direction for developing comprehensive written directives and a foundation for producing sound management principles. The accreditation process not only strengthens accountability within an agency, it strengthens an agency’s accountability to its community. ILEAP provides a professionalism benchmark for Illinois law enforcement agencies. Department personnel worked diligently to determine compliance with standards, revise policies in accordance with ILEAP prescribed directives, and introduce new processes or procedures where room for innovation existed. While the Department operated within many of the standards before joining the program, improvements in crime analysis practices, temporary detention policies, and communications processes have been realized. Ultimately, achieving accreditation equates to significant acknowledgment from the policing community and risk or liability reduction. The most significant consequence of the accreditation process may be its conduciveness to move forward an already sound management ideology. This succeeding philosophy provides consistency in policing. In November 2017, assessors conducted an on-site assessment of DPS policies, procedures, and practices. Assessors reviewed files, conducted interviews, and examined the various aspects of agency operations. The diligent efforts of the employees of the Southern Illinois University Department of Public Safety during the year resulted in the accreditation of the Department in early 2018. SIU Carbondale is one of 26 police agencies in the state to earn ILEAP accreditation and the fourth public or private university in the state to do so.

10 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety TRAINING AND CAPABILITIES DPS IN-SERVICE TRAINING 2017 DPS officers receive formal training in the areas of firearms, weapons proficiency, CPR, search and seizure, cultural diversity, drug/substance awareness and many other topics. Training is provided quarterly to ensure officers receive the most up to date training. Officers receive annual instruction on control tactics, arrest procedures, less lethal munitions and pressure points, taught by DPS certified instructors. Local CPR instructors and Jackson County Ambulance staff are brought in to instruct on CPR and basic officer buddy aid. At each quarterly in-service training, officers complete weapons training. The weapons training varies from a fifty round handgun qualification, a thirty round handgun qualification, a rifle qualification course of fire or a shotgun qualification course of fire. All of the firearms training is coordinated through the department Master Firearms Instructor and all of the on-range training is monitored by qualified firearms instructors.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 11 TRAINING AND CAPABILITIES

BOMB SQUAD The Southern Illinois University and Carbondale Police Bomb Squad was created in 1998 as a joint unit made up of SIU and Carbondale Police Officers. The team was created after an incident where a suspicious package was placed outside the police department on the campus of SIU. The closest team trained to handle such an incident was Scott Air Force Base. The time it took for the Explosives Ordinance Disposal Team to respond once dispatched was approximately three hours. After this incident the department decided to create a team designed to handle such calls and have officers specially trained as Bomb Technicians. The purpose of the Bomb Squad is to provide a professionally trained unit capable of rendering safe and/or removing suspected improvised explosives devices, incendiary devices, explosives, explosive chemicals, pyrotechnics and ammunition. The Bomb Squad also provides an educational resource to the University and locals communities. To be certified as a Bomb Technician one must attend a 40 hour Emergency Responder Hazardous Materials Technician course. After completion of this course the officer is enrolled in the six week Hazardous Devices School at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama, to receive their certification as a Bomb Technician. In 2017 DPS added another officer to the Bomb Squad.

12 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety TRAINING AND CAPABILITIES

TACTICAL RESPONSE TEAM The SIU Tactical Response Team (TRT) was formed in 1991. The mission of TRT is to provide the department and the University the capability to safely resolve high-risk situations requiring specialized response. In 2009, TRT began training and conducting operations jointly with the Carbondale Police Department Special Response Team. During their monthly training sessions, the team works on movements, building entry, explosive breaching, barricaded subjects, live fire, less lethal munitions, and hostage negotiations scenarios with the Hostage Negotiations Team.

Qualified applicants are chosen after participating in an interview with current TRT members and approval is given by the SIU Chief of Police. New members must pass a department approved TRT training programs and semi-annual physical fitness test. In 2017, two new members were added to the Tactical Response Team. The Tactical Response Team’s ultimate goal is to improve public safety for both the University community and the city of Carbondale.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 13 TRAINING AND CAPABILITIES

HONOR GUARD The Department of Public Safety Honor Guard is a ceremonial unit composed of volunteers who are carefully screened for their physical ability and dexterity. The Honor Guard serves law enforcement by providing services for fallen police officers, current and retired, and may also serve as the “guardians of the colors” by displaying and escorting the national and state flag on ceremonial occasions at official departmental and university functions. The Honor Guard may also serve as ambassadors to the public, presenting a positive image of their service, and assisting with ongoing Community Policing efforts. In 2017, the Department of Public Safety Honor Guard displayed and escorted the national and state flags at one of the SIU Saluki men’s basketball games and stood guard at the funeral services for a retired SIU officer whose grandson currently serves on the department.

Public Interest Case

DELIVERY OF CANNABIS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS On 03/30/2017 at approximately 6:40 p.m., DPS officers detected the odor of cannabis coming from a room in Neely Hall. Officers contacted the resident of the room who gave consent to search. Officers located a green leafy substance consistent with cannabis in multiple locations including some individually packaged in a safe under the bed. Officers located approximately 100 grams of suspected cannabis total, a scale, a dugout and pipe. The contraband was seized. The resident was arrested and charged with possession of cannabis between 10 and 100 grams and possession of cannabis with the intent to deliver on school grounds (between 30 and 500 grams).

14 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety POLICE MOUNTAIN BIKE UNIT The SIU Police Mountain Bike Unit exists to bridge the gap between foot patrol and vehicular patrol. Bicycles enhance officer mobility, while allowing access to areas that would be inaccessible by vehicle. Bicycle patrol is highly visible and helps build connection with the community. Members of the unit receive rigorous training and are certified through the International Police Mountain Bike Association. This training includes bicycle maintenance and repair, cycling skills, and tactics. In 2017, seven officers were selected to be added to the police mountain bike unit.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 15 16 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY STRUCTURE

The Southern Illinois University Department of Public Safety is divided into three major divisions: Field Services, Investigations, and Administrative Services. The Field Services Division is the largest section of the SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety. It comprises Police Patrol, Saluki Patrol, Telecommunications, community resource officers and police housing liaisons. The purpose of the division is to provide the highest level of police protection and community assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

POLICE PATROL The Police Patrol Division of the Field Services Operation is divided into three shifts: first shift (7 a.m. - 3 p.m.), second shift (3 p.m. - 11 p.m.) and third shift (11 p.m. - 7 a.m.). Each officer working in the Patrol Division is assigned to one of the three shifts. Providing direct supervision and leadership for each shift is a Sergeant and a Corporal. Two Lieutenants–one supervising First Shift and Parking Division, and one supervising Second and Third Shift–are also assigned to patrol to help maintain the credibility, safety and integrity of SIU police officers and police operations. In 2017, the Patrol Division continued with a campus community initiative focusing on conducting campus and housing presentations on a variety of topics. Over 650 presentations were conducted in 2017 and the topics included Crosswalk Safety, Theft Prevention, Severe Weather Safety, Alcohol Safety and Awareness, Identity Theft, and Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention. Patrol Division logged over 28,000 separate patrol activities which generated over 3000 reports in 2017 and looks forward to continuing to engage the campus community with professional, kind, and compassionate service for all while holding individuals accountable for their action.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 17 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY STRUCTURE

SALUKI PATROL Created in 1959, the Saluki Patrol became the first student police organization initiated on a college campus in the United States. The mission of the Saluki Patrol is to assist the SIU Police in the protection of life and property, preserving the peace, and providing general service beneficial to the university community. Saluki Patrol members are non-sworn SIU students who assist the SIU Police in a number of areas including foot patrol, building security, traffic direction, crowd control, parking enforcement, as well as enforcing university rules and regulations. Since its inception, the unarmed student security force has augmented the efforts of sworn officers and provided valuable public service to the campus community. Student police organizations began being created at other universities as the program gained more national attention. The Saluki Patrol has continued to evolve and become more professional, with Saluki Patrol personnel receiving some of the same police training as sworn officers. Many leaders in the law enforcement community both locally and at the state and federal level began their careers as Saluki Patrol. Saluki Patrol also provides escorts to members of the campus community, initiated by a simple request on the Saluki Safe Walk app. This program provides another avenue for students to keep themselves safe on campus

COMMUNITY RESOURCE OFFICERS University Housing and DPS collaborate in an effort to resolve community issues impacting the safety and security of University Housing student residents, guests, and staff. This cooperative effort is intended to improve the overall quality of life across University Housing residence halls, programming spaces, and dining facilities. Together, the SIU Department of Public Safety and University Housing have designated an officer whose sole responsibility is to be a resource for University Housing facilities. This officer, known as a Community Resource Officer (CRO), is tasked with providing an open and on-going channel of communication between the various University Housing communities and the police department. The goal of the program is to create and promote a positive and proactive police presence in the residence hall communities and surrounding areas, build more positive perceptions about the presence of uniformed police officers in the community, and to build better relationships between students and the Department of Public Safety. CROs seek to proactively address identified problems associated with criminal activity, issues associated with safety and security, and overall behaviors that negatively impact the quality of life for on campus residents. Additionally, the program endeavors to assist University Housing and university staff with creating a positive living/learning environment through educational enforcement efforts and positive community interaction and program delivery.

POLICE LIAISON PROGRAM The Police Liaison Program was initiated to promote the safety of students and staff and enhance the quality of life in the residence halls through the presentation of safety programs and the involvement of officers in a more constant and intense level. The program provides an open and on-going channel of communication between the student residential communities and the police department. The goal of the program is to foster a partnership with students and staff to address any issues that affect safety and the quality of life in the student residential areas. Police officers assigned to the police liaison program attend housing staff meetings, coordinate special presentations, and provide relevant safety information to the members of the community. In addition, the liaison officers seek information and input from University Housing staff as to the specific and varying needs of each housing area. Regular communication is essential in the performance of these duties. Officers routinely make contact with their assigned areas. Officers also spend additional patrol time in their respective areas in an effort to interact with more residents and to gain a better feel for the day-to-day activities in each community.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS Telecommunications consists of five full-time police telecommunicators who manage a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week dispatch center. Telecommunicators monitor several radio channels that connect them to police, fire and EMS. The telecommunicators can also monitor the numerous digital video security cameras located across the campus and provide real-time information to responding officers. Each telecommunicator is trained as an emergency medical dispatcher and receives additional training in other areas throughout the year. In 2017, telecommunications handled approximately 28,000 calls for service.

Public Interest Case

POSSESSION OF A STOLEN MOTOR VEHICLE On 03/19/2017 at approximately 2 a.m., DPS located a silver Land Rover in Lot 113 near Wall and Grand apartments.

The driver was arrested for possession of a stolen motor vehicle and possession of stolen license plates.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 19 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY STRUCTURE

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The Administrative Services Division consists of All-Hazards Preparedness, the Crime Prevention Unit, the Clery Compliance Coordinator, Payroll Accountant, and Records Management. The division is staffed with two police officers and three civilian employees, supervised by a Lieutenant. The All-Hazards Preparedness coordinator works with the university community and develops Building Liaison Teams, which consist of a network of volunteer faculty and staff who help to create and enforce emergency response plans and procedures for specific buildings on campus. This multi-phase endeavor will eventually encompass every building on the SIU Carbondale campus. The goal of this initiative is to provide a uniform response to emergencies occurring within each structure, and program continuity as team members retire or move to other assignments. The Crime Prevention Unit is tasked with providing the campus community with information regarding theft, alcohol and drug awareness, personal security, traffic safety, and university resources. Working closely with the Police Patrol Division, this unit strives to continually update the resources used in campus and housing presentations, and coordinate larger proactive events. The Records Management Division gathers and monitors crime statistics for the Clery Act and the University Crime Report. They review hundreds of reports a year and forward them to the appropriate personnel for further review and prosecution. Between January and December 2017, the Records Management Division processed more than 3,000 incident reports, vehicle code violations, and university rules and regulations violations.

INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION The Investigations Division provides general and internal investigations and special drug enforcement. SIU Police Department is a member of a joint drug task force with Carbondale Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Joint Terrorism Task Force. Detectives receive specialized training in many areas including, but not limited to, interview and interrogation, sexual assault investigation, burglary investigation, crime scene processing, computer crimes, and current drug trends. The Investigations Division is also responsible for all evidence pertaining to cases, and found property that is brought into the police department.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 21 22 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY STRUCTURE

PARKING DIVISION The Parking Division is primarily responsible for meeting the parking needs of the campus community. It does this by issuing various parking decals to students and staff, and monitoring parking areas on campus during normal business hours. The revenue generated through the Parking Division pays for maintenance of parking lots and roadways around campus. The revenue also paid for recently upgraded LED nighttime lighting in campus lots. In 2017, the Parking Division added vehicle immobilization to its parking enforcement options. This option allows parking agents to effectively address repeat offenders without the inconvenience of towing their vehicle. Parking also handles registration for SIU Bike Watch. All bicycles parked on campus are required to be registered, either by SIU or by the City of Carbondale. Registering your bicycle aids the Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement agencies with the recovery of your bicycle in the event of loss or theft. Staff and students may bring their SIU ID along with their bicycle to the Parking Division office during regular business hours to complete the free registration process and receive a decal. The Parking Division also operates a registration station in the SIU Housing areas during move in.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 23 SAFETY ON CAMPUS SIU’s support of students extends to maintaining a safe environment for the campus community. A number of programs are designed to assist and educate students on safety, including a night transit service and Brightway Paths. Student and staff email accounts are automatically subscribed to the RAVE Mobile Safety alert system employed by the Department of Public Safety to send notifications of university emergencies; other delivery methods, such as text messages, can be easily added.

SAFE.SIU.EDU SAFE at SIU is a resource for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and visitors of SIU. This website contains information about campus resources, crime reporting, crime prevention and campus safety. Additional information is available on the university reporting structure for incidents related to sexual violence, domestic and dating violence, stalking and sexual harassment.

24 SIU Carbondale Department of Public Safety SIU SAFE WALK The Department of Public Safety has developed a mobile app to assist students, faculty and staff with the opportunity to walk to various locations on campus with an escort. The new SIU Safe Walk app is available free through your app store. When a walk is requested, a confirmation email will be sent from the DPS dispatcher on duty. Saluki Patrol officers will meet the person requesting the walk at the designated start location and time. SIU graduate student Alvin R. Gonzales received the 2017 SIU Carbondale Student Employee of the Year award for his efforts creating and developing the SIU SafeWalk app.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 27 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

SOLAR ECLIPSE On Monday, August 21st, 2017 the Great American Eclipse crossed the United States. Carbondale was recognized as the point of longest duration of totality. SIU hosted many events on campus including: Eclipse Day at Saluki Stadium, Arena Expo, Arts and Crafts Fair, and the Crossroads Festival. DPS was tasked with the safety and security of the event, including parking, traffic control, and event security. DPS officers began working the traffic control, parking, and event security details days prior to the event. On the day of the eclipse officers arrived early and assisted the estimated 30,000 campus visitors with traffic, directions, medical issues, and general questions.

DPS AND RAINBOW’S END Rainbow’s End Child Development Center was established to meet the need for quality and convenient child care to the children of Southern Illinois University Carbondale students, faculty and staff. The primary goal of the Center is to provide a secure and positive atmosphere for children while their parents attend classes and work at SIU Carbondale.

OPERATION SERGEANT SANTA In December 2017, the Department of Public Safety, along with Public Relations Student Society of American (PRSSA) & Kohl’s, participated in the 7th annual Operation Sergeant Santa! The event gives local children a $100 Kohl’s gift card and the opportunity to purchase gifts for their families and themselves. Each child is escorted by an SIU Police Officer and PRSSA member. In 2017, thirteen officers were able to participate. Department of Public Safety officers look forward to this event each year. It provides an amazing opportunity to not only make an impact on the children in our community, but to work with PRSSA members and the wonderful employees at Kohl’s. DPS Officers recognize what a wonderful event and opportunity Operation Sergeant Santa is. It is an honor and a pleasure to serve the children of our community and their families.

COFFEE WITH A COP Community policing has long been considered a framework for establishing trust between the community and the police. However, the character and composition of our campus community has changed due to shifting demographics, more commuters, and the introduction of different communication methods such as websites and social media. The reality is that most people have never had dealings with the police and are worried that their concerns are not “big enough” for the police to worry about or have negative images of police due to erroneous information. Coffee with a Cop provides a relaxed, neutral atmosphere with no speeches, no agenda and no preset subjects. It allows a student, staff, or faculty member to sit down, one on one with an SIU Police Officer and discuss whatever concerns are important to them. These conversations help break through those barriers and develop real relationships. With the coffee graciously provided by Panera Bread of Carbondale, the Department has hosted monthly events during the academic school year at various location on campus.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 33 CLERY ACT ACTIVITIES THE JEANNE CLERY ACT The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) is a federal mandate requiring all institutions of higher education that participate in the federal student financial aid program to disclose information about crime on their campuses and in the surrounding communities.
