15 GENERAL PROCEDURESFOR REPORTING A CRIME OR EMERGENCY TO PD PD incident reports involving students, with the exception of confidential reports, and reports of sexual violence (including sexual harassment), are shared with the Vice President for Student Engagement, Student Conduct and Community Engagement (SCCE) for the Laredo campus, and the TAMUS-RELLIS Provosts Office for incidents occurring at the TAMUS-RELLIS campus. Additionally, as appropriate, Title IX Office for potential action on the respective campus, as applicable. When PD receives a report, the responding officer(s) initiate a preliminary investigation. Based on the results of the preliminary investigation and the presence of solvability factors, the investigative division will conduct follow-up investigations. Additional information obtained via any investigation is also shared with the student conduct officer(s) and Title IX coordinators (as appropriate) as part of the conduct review process. All PD incident reports involving students alleging sexual violence (including sexual harassment) are shared with the appropriate Title IX Office which then coordinates outreach and next steps. Neither PD investigates these reports unless the complainant(s) wishes to file criminal charges. TO REPORT A CRIME - LAREDO OR TAMUS-RELLIS CAMPUS In the event anyone has information regarding crimes or emergencies on campus they should immediately notify PD using free on-campus telephones which, are located throughout campus in classrooms, meeting rooms or with a personal cellular phone or device. Emergency phones are located on the grounds of our residential facilities. These devices are directly connected to PD dispatchers and only require an individual to push the ?Emergency?button to activate and establish the connection to PD. These devices are tested monthly to ensure they are in working order. TO REPORT A CRIME - INTERCONNECTIVITY PD is interconnected with municipal operated central communication centers; all callers using 911 are connected first to the municipal communication center and then transferred to PD Communications staff once it is confirmed that the caller is on a campus location. TO REPORT A CRIME - LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT All crimes should be reported campus PD. Crimes and calls for service reported to local law enforcement for/on either the Laredo or TAMUS-RELLIScampus, in Webb or Brazos counties, are transfered to the appropriate campus PD for resolution. In the event that a crime takes place in an off campus location we encourage you to report that crime to the local law enforcement agency in the jurisdiction where you are, should you desire. If you are traveling on official University business you should request they contact the appropriate campus PD and upon your return directly report the crime incident to PD for inclusion with our annual statistics.
