Preparation of the Annual Security Report and Disclosure of Crime Statistics The Campus Safety Department prepares this report based on information maintained in its records, as well as information collected from the Haverford Police Department (HTPD), the Lower Merion Police Department (LMPD) and various individuals and departments at the College including: the Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Title IX Coordinators, the Dean’s Office, the Women’s Center, the Student Health Center and the Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). For statistical purposes, crime statistics reported to any of these sources are recorded in the calendar year the crime was reported. All of the statistics are gathered, compiled, and reported to the college community in the Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report, which is published by the Campus Safety Department. The Campus Safety Department submits the annual crime statistics published in this report to the Department of Education (DOE). The statistical information gathered by the Department of Education is available to the public through the DOE website. About Haverford College Haverford College is a community of more than 1,400 residents, located on 200 acres in a residential suburb of Philadelphia with a combined population of more than 50,000 residents. Haverford College has no officially recognized student organizations with non-campus locations. As part of that larger community, the College shares many of the same interests and problems, including concern about crime. Haverford has experienced minimal problems to date with crime on campus. Life on any college campus however, is subject to some of the same risks and problems as life elsewhere. Many parents are concerned about the safety on a college campus away from home. Haverford College understands that concern and accepts its responsibility to employ security measures to ensure that our students enjoy their time at Haverford as free as possible from threats to their safety or well-being. Haverford College is dedicated to keeping the campus a secure and healthy place to live, work, and study. In recent years, many positive steps have been taken to enhance safety, including initiating a Bicycle 4 Patrol, improving lighting on campus, conducting a RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) training course, and increasing the number of CCTV cameras (there are a total of 45 CCTV cameras strategically located on campus), card access locations, and emergency telephones. Additional initiatives include the use of computer-aided Dispatch and a Records Management Systems. We also utilize an enhanced Emergency Notification System (including audible alert, e-mail, text and phone messaging). The Department of Campus Safety has a website (https://www.haverford.edu/campus-safety) as well as an emergency phone hotline (610-896-4299). This document is designed to help assist you in maintaining a safe environment for you and your property. We want you to become familiar with the College community, to understand the security policies and procedures that help promote safety and respect for others on the Haverford College campus, and to take appropriate precautions to minimize risk. The Campus Safety Department The department provides 24-hour, 7-days-a-week service and protection for the college community. The department is comprised of: one Executive Director, one Director of Operations, one Safety Coordinator (Assistant Director), one Associate Director for Investigations, one Captain, one Lieutenant, three Sergeants (full-time), two Corporals (full-time), ten Security Officers (full-time), eight part-time/on-call Security Officers, and a Security Systems Administrator. All department personnel regularly attend mandatory in service training programs aimed at maintaining and updating their skills and knowledge of new laws and regulations. All members of the department receive training in First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Additionally, Campus Safety staff provides transportation to the health services or to the Bryn Mawr Hospital when Haverford’s medical facilities are closed. Haverford Campus Safety officers are non-sworn and are not authorized to make arrests. The Campus Safety Department’s jurisdiction is limited to the property that is under the control of Haverford College. The Campus Safety Department maintains an excellent working relationship with the Haverford Township and Lower Merion Township Police Departments (although we do not have a written Memorandum of Understanding with either department). The Campus Safety Department reports directly to the Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration, and works closely with the Dean’s Office, Student Life, Residential Life, Health Services, Facilities, and Counseling and Psychological Services. The Campus Safety Department makes every effort to prevent crime, provides highly visible security patrols, and responds quickly to the needs of individuals on campus and of the college community as a whole. Crimes involving violence and major property loss 5 are reported immediately by the department to the appropriate township or state agencies. Crime statistics are compiled according to Pennsylvania State Police requirements, using the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting methods. IMPORTANT TELEPHONE NUMBERS Campus Safety Department (610) 896-1111 Haverford Township Police (610) 853-2400 Lower Merion Township Police (610) 642-4200 Reporting Crimes on Campus Students, faculty, staff, and guests are encouraged to report all crimes and campus safety related incidents to the Campus Safety Department in a timely manner. An officer will be dispatched immediately to each complaint and will evaluate the incident, take appropriate action, and notify the necessary authorities. There are 50 emergency telephones at various locations throughout the campus for this purpose. Each provides an instant link with the department, no dialing is required and the dispatcher knows immediately where the call is coming from. An officer is always dispatched, even if no words are spoken. Reports can also be made by calling 610-896-1111. Dispatchers are available at this number 24-hours a day to answer your call. A report will be taken even if the caller does not give their name and follow-up will be conducted. Although we encourage the accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes directly to Campus Safety when the victim of a crime elects to or is unable to make such a report, in some instances members of the campus community may choose to file a report with one of the other Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). Reports can also be filed with the Haverford Police Department and/or the Lower Merion Police Department. Allegations of campus crime that you are aware of and that you conclude
