POLICE AND ASSISTANCE
Courtesy Assistance Team (CAT Team) CWU.EDU/POLICE/COURTESY-ASSISTANCE-TEAM The primary mission of CAT is to provide walking companions for students, staff, and visitors; primarily during hours of darkness to midnight. The Courtesy Assistance Team (CAT) is a student assistance program utilizing students as members. They are trained and managed by University Police services. CAT members also provide informational assistance to students, staff, and visitors. They assist the University Police by checking buildings to ensure they are secure as well as reporting on- view suspicious or criminal activity while they walk around the campus. This service is provided daily when school is in session during the evening hours and is free of charge. Good Samaritan The welfare of our students is of the highest importance to Central Washington University. There may be times when individuals, both on and off campus, may be in critical need of assistance from medical or other professional personnel. Situations in which a student’s physical and/or psychological well-being is in serious jeopardy may include, but are not limited to, incidents involving: alcohol or other drug overdose/ poisoning; sexual assault; or suicide attempts. Central wants to minimize any hesitation that students or student organizations might have in obtaining help due to concern that their own behavior might be a violation of University policy. If critical assistance is needed, students should immediately contact medical or other professional personnel. While policy violations cannot be overlooked, the University will take into consideration the positive impact of reporting an incident on the welfare of students when determining the appropriate response for policy violations. Any possible negative consequences for the reporter of the situation should be evaluated against the possible negative consequences for the student who needed intervention. At a minimum, Central hopes that a student or student organization would make an anonymous report that would put the student in need in touch with professional assistance immediately.
