- Security will file an Incident Report.
If an incident involving any of the crimes listed in section IV.F.2 of this plan occurs, a report is to be filed with the Director of Public Safety.
In the event of a report of a serious crime which is judged to present a possible risk to other students or employees, timely campus notices will be posted by the Wilmington University Office of Public Safety.
II. Relationship with Police & Emergency Services:
- All campuses of Wilmington University can reach Police and Emergency services through 911.
- The campuses of the University are under the jurisdiction of the following police agencies:
| New Castle | Delaware State Police, Troop #2 |
| Graduate Center | New Castle County Police |
| Dover AFB | Dover AFB Security Police |
| Dover Site | Dover Police Department |
| Georgetown | Georgetown Police Department |
| Rehoboth | Rehoboth Beach Police Department |
III. The University encourages victims and witnesses to immediately and accurately report all criminal activity or emergencies to a Campus Security Authority: DAFB Security Police, Wilmington University Site Manager or Night-time Monitor.
- A Campus Security Authority will assist in notifying proper law enforcement authorities. Timely and accurate reporting is especially important in any case involving a sex offense, as the proper preservation of evidence is important to a successful prosecution.
- The receptionist at Wilmington University, Dover AFB Site, is available during the day at the Dover AFB Office and the Night Monitor is available during the evening at DAFB Education Center to receive and immediately transmit all criminal complaints to security police. Also, emergencies are transmitted to the 911 emergency number.
- Exterior lighting is installed to facilitate safe movement at all points on the base. Public Safety-related site maintenance items are assigned a high priority by the DAFB maintenance department.
- Students and staff are asked to take care of all personal belongings so that they are securely and safely stored.
- Crime prevention educational materials regarding car theft, property protection, personal safety, drug abuse, etc. are made available to all at the Wilmington University Air Force Base site by the Wilmington University Office of Public Safety.
- Information concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained from the Delaware State Bureau of Identification, Sex Offender Central Registry at http://www.state.de.us/dsp/sexoff/index.htm
- Annual crime statistics are compiled for all sites by the Director of Public Safety. A daily log is also kept and available from the Office of Public Safety (New Castle campus) upon request.
- In preparation for the annual disclosure of crime statistics, letters requesting specific crime statistics are sent to base security police and the site director. All campus security authorities are instructed regularly to forward any incidents of criminal activity to the Office of Public Safety at the main campus. The Registrar and Human Resources departments compile the data needed to insure that a post card regarding how to obtain Security Report information is mailed to all enrolled students and employees. Post cards for distribution to prospective students and prospective employees are provided to the Admissions and Human Resources departments at all sites.
- The following tables represent the statistics concerning crimes and arrests reported at the DAFB site of Wilmington University during the three most recent calendar years.
- A. Contact numbers for counseling, mental health, and other support services for crime victims are listed in the Wilmington University Student Handbook. At present, Wilmington University has no procedures in place that encourage pastoral counselors and professional counselors, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform the persons they are counseling of any procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis.
- B. In any case involving an alleged sex offense, a victim who does not wish to remain in his/her present class section may be granted a transfer to any other reasonably available class section.
- The Wilmington University Code of Conduct and campus disciplinary procedures are set forth in detail in the Wilmington University Student Handbook (Code of Conduct may be revised without notification by Wilmington University).
- The accused may be accompanied by an advisor of his own choosing. The advisor acts in that capacity alone and may not speak for the accused as would legal counsel. In any case involving an alleged sex offense, both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunity to have an advisor present.
- In any case of disciplinary action involving an alleged sex offense, both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the final determination with respect to the alleged offense and any sanction which is imposed against the accused.
- Campus disciplinary sanctions may range from disciplinary probation through dismissal from the University.
- Wilmington University is committed to the creation of a wholesome, drug-free environment conducive to learning. In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-690, 102 Stat. 4181), the College prohibits the manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance in its facilities or on its campuses. Any employee convicted of violating a criminal drug law while on University property must follow procedures and requirements outlined in the Faculty and Staff Handbook.
