Safety and Security in Campus Facilities Security and safety issues are given high priority in the design of new facilities. e Office of Campus Police Services, in an ongoing program, conducts security surveys of existing facilities, with findings and recommendations forwarded to the appropriate administrative areas for remedial action when necessary. Periodic assessments of campus lighting and emergency telephones are conducted and deficiencies promptly addressed by the appropriate administrative area. Crime Prevention General information and crime prevention materials are distributed to incoming students and their families during orientation. As part of our TCNJ community policing philosophy our officers partner with the Department of Residential Education and Housing to develop and implement community outreach presentations relating to crime awareness and services. e Crime Awareness Program (CAP) is an effort in which students, faculty, and staff team together with campus police to help prevent crime and educate the campus community through educational programs and interactive events. Please call 609.771.2345 for further information. Crime prevention information and reporting procedures can be found on e Campus Police Services web page. http://campuspolice.tcnj.edu/ Human resources provides the annual Security and Fire Safety Report to new employees. A weekly "Cop Shop" feature in the student newspaper, e Signal, is an important element of our crime prevention effort, as is the Office of Campus Police Services web page. http://campuspolice.tcnj.edu/ Timely Warning, Emergency Notification, and Evacuation e College of New Jersey is required to notify the campus community of certain emergency situations and specific crimes that are covered by the Clery Act. e enumerated Clery Act crimes are: criminal homicide, murder, negligent manslaughter, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, arson, motor vehicle theft, and hate crimes. In order to effectively distribute safety information, TCNJ disseminates Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications through e-mails, text messages, the college's web site, and other methods. e alerts are disseminated as soon as pertinent information is available. Timely Warnings provide the time, location, and type of crime committed on campus. e information provided by Timely Warnings is designed to promote safety and allow for individuals to take precautionary measures. Emergency Notifications are issued without delay upon confirmation that there has been a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on campus that involves an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees. 7
