Victims Assistance
The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Police Department recognizes that the traditional methods of managing students, from a campus law enforcement perspective, specifically from an authoritarian style of enforcement and interaction, may be less effective and in many cases exacerbate interpersonal conflicts. With this in mind, the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Police Department has developed a common based relationship with the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Professional Counseling Center (PCC) to provide counseling, and mental health services to the university population when such needs are identified and determined to be necessary to address a situation. In addition to counseling and mental health services, the PCC also conduct “victim prevention” seminars such as Sexual Assault/Date Rape, self-defense, and Domestic Violence. Counselors on staff in the PCC work routinely with crime victims providing counseling services and, informing clients of their responsibilities and rights to report crimes that have occurred against themselves to the campus police (in cases where the crime occurred on campus) and/or to other authorities (crimes occurred off campus). Information relative to criminal incidents gained during counseling sessions is not maintained for the purpose of statistical data (Such reporting is generally maintained by the Office of Student Affairs). For further information concerning services provided by the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Police Department, call 405-466-3366.The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Police Department also maintains a close working relationship with the City of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Police and Fire Departments, City of Coyle Police and Fire Department, the City of Guthrie Police and Fire Department, Logan County Sheriff’s Office, the Logan County District Attorney’s Office and the Oklahoma State Department of Public Safety.

The enforcement of laws upon the campus of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ is tempered with an educational philosophy, which supports the mission, goals, and objectives of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ community.

In accordance with 485 of the Higher Education Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1092(j), ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ has developed this investigation and notification policy regarding students who reside in on-campus housing and have been reported as missing. Any report to a University official indicating that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing shall be referred immediately to the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Police Department, and an investigation shall be conducted. If the initial investigation determines that the student is missing, the following persons shall be notified:

1. A confidential contact person designated by the student. Students have the option of identifying a person of their choice to be contacted in the specific case they are determined missing. Students can choose to identify the same person as their general emergency contact or identify a different person who is more likely to know their whereabouts if determined missing (for example a roommate, close friend, or in-town relative might be more familiar with your daily movements than out-of-town family or friends). The person you designate and their contact information shall be considered confidential and is only to be accessed by University officials after the student has been reported missing. This confidential contact person database can be used by any ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ student, whether they live on campus or not.
2. The Student’s custodial parent(s) or legal guardian(s), if the student is under 18 and not an emancipated minor.
3. Local law enforcement authorities: The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Police Department will work with other law enforcement agencies, if necessary, once a student is determined to be missing. University officials may elect to notify additional persons determined to be appropriate and consistent with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, 20 § 1232(g). IMPORTANT: Students are encouraged to share pertinent information with family and friends when leaving campus or taking trips. Sharing this information will enable University staff, as well as family and friends, to contact you if the need arises.
