D. Campus Security Authorities and Mandatory Reporters Federal and state laws dictate that certain staff members are obligated to report crimes to the Security Department, law enforcement, or social services. These staff members include Counselors, Unit Leaders, Resident Assistants, Discipleship Coordinators, Deans, HR staff, Security staff, SIC and Camp Crew Coordinators, Camp Directors, and Childcare staff. E. Confidential Reporting All victims or witnesses of a crime are encouraged to report it immediately to Security. They also have the option of reporting it to local enforcement, or a Counselor, Unit Leader, Resident Assistant, Discipleship Coordinator or Dean. These individuals are required to report certain crimes (crimes against minors or crimes that pose a threat to others), but the victim may choose not to share this information with Security or law enforcement. In that case, the counselor will only report to Security that a crime occurred and the nature of the crime for statistical purposes. F. Crime and Fire Log The Security Department maintains a daily log of crimes, fires, and other activity reported to Security. It is available in the Security Office. Additionally, the Security Department and local law enforcement agencies compile statistics for crimes that occurred on our property. See the Annual Crime and Fire Statistics for more information. G. Emergency Alerts In the event of an emergency, you will receive an alert via text message and email. Based on your location, you may also receive alerts over the ShoreTel phones, two-way radios, public address systems, or other means. Staff, students, volunteers, family camp guests, and camp youth leaders are enrolled in the alert system automatically. The Security Department will test the alert system twice a year, at the beginning of the BI fall semester, and at the beginning of the summer camp season. Please keep your phone number and email address on file up-to-date. Contact your camp office or the Health and Security Department to update this information. H. Access Control Our Bible Institute campus is generally open during the day and visitors are requested to sign in at the Welcome Center. Access to youth and family camps are limited to staff, registered guests, and approved vendors. Camp visitors must sign in at the front gate upon arrival. Members of the opposite gender are not permitted in housing units for campers, students, or single staff. Students and staff should keep housing doors locked at all times and report unauthorized persons. Classroom doors should be locked during class or other meetings. On occasion, Property Services, Housekeeping, Security, or Student Life may enter housing units to make necessary repairs or inspections. Student Life, Security, and Law Enforcement reserve the right to enter dorm rooms and other buildings to investigate violations and crimes. Security officers patrol during the day to detect unauthorized access and to lock all buildings at night.
