   Annual Security Report for 2006

   Published in October 2007

                  

University of Mary Washington is a State supported institution of higher learning with approximately 2,700 residential students and 1,500 commuter students.  Our daily on- campus population is approximately 4,700 people consisting of students, faculty, staff and visitors.

University of Mary Washington is committed to providing the members of the campus community and visitors with the safest and most secure environment possible.  However, even the most extensive initiatives cannot succeed without the awareness and cooperation of the community members, who work, study and live on campus.

POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

The University has designed its policies and regulations to create a safe and harmonious environment for the members of its community.  All campus community members and visitors of the University are required to obey by these regulations.  These policies not only reflect the University’s high standards of conduct, but also local, state and federal laws.  Observed and enforced, they create a high degree of safety for the University community.

Alcohol & Drug Use

UMW recognizes that the misuse and abuse of alcohol and drugs is a persistent social and health problem of major proportion in our society and that it interferes with the goals and objectives of any educational institution.  Accordingly, UMW does not encourage the use of alcoholic beverages and strongly discourages illegal or otherwise irresponsible use of alcohol and drugs.  Members of the University community are responsible for their decisions regarding their use of alcohol and drugs as well as their behavior which occurs as a result of their decisions.  The University of Mary Washington has a “Zero tolerance” drug policy.  If a student is found responsible for the possession of drugs on any UMW campus, that student will be permanently expelled from the University.


Alcohol Policy

UMW fully complies with the alcohol regulations of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  All state laws apply to UMW students, faculty, staff and visitors.  These laws prohibit possession, distribution and consumption of all alcoholic beverages by persons under 21 years of age.  To maintain conditions conducive to a learning environment and to ensure that all community members are in a safe, productive environment, the University further restricts the use of alcohol to specified criteria.  The University’s policy is not to have alcoholic beverages at any University-sponsored student functions.  For more comprehensive details, please refer to the University’s alcohol policy printed in the Student Handbook which is published on an annual basis.

Drug & Controlled Substances - “Drug Free School Zone”

On April 11, 1992, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: “Resolved by the Rector and Visitors of University of Mary Washington that the campus of University of Mary Washington is hereby designated a drug free school zone in accordance with Virginia Code 18.2-255.2 .

UMW strictly prohibits the illegal use or possession of any controlled substance.  The illegal use of controlled substances is incompatible with the goals of the an academic community.  Students found guilty of possessing, using, distributing, or selling controlled substances will face serious disciplinary action, which may include suspension and/or dismissal from the University for a first offense.  Violations of state law should be reported to the University Police who will take appropriate legal actions.  For more comprehensive details, please refer to the University’s drug policy printed in the Student Handbook which is published on an annual basis.

UMW is a drug free workplace, and employees are subject to criminal prosecution as well as termination from the University employment if found in violation of this policy.


       Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is a crime punishable by both civil and criminal legal action.  The University Judicial System administered through the Office of Judicial Affairs adjudicates, at the request of the victim, all cases involving sex offenses in which the alleged perpetrator is a University of Mary Washington Student.  UMW also encourages victims to prosecute alleged perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law.  There are several avenues for assistance if a person becomes the victim of a sex offense.

Victims of sexual assault tend to feel a variety of conflicting emotions: rage, fear, depression, relief to have survived, numbness and exhaustion, to name just a few.  Two vital points to remember are that the assault was not your fault and there is help available.

The University Police Department complements the work of the Fredericksburg Commonwealth Attorney’s Office Victim/Witness Assistance Director by aggressively training every officer in protecting the rights of victims and witnesses of crimes.  Referral information is accessible at all times regarding area services available for general counseling, medical attention, emergency housing or financial assistance.  Responsiveness to the needs of crime victims is a police department priority.

IF A SEXUAL ASSAULT HAPPENS TO YOU:

  • Go to a safe location.
  • Contact the police for immediate assistance and information.
  • If possible, do not change your clothes, shower, or eat or drink between the rape and the trip to the emergency room.  Bring a change of clothes with you because the police will need the clothes you were wearing for evidence.
  • Go the Mary Washington Hospital Emergency Room.  A qualified physician or nurse will examine you for injuries and collect physical evidence that could be used in criminal proceedings if you decide to prosecute.  Mary Washington Hospital’s nurses have been trained and certified by the Virginia Division of Forensic Science with administering the “SANE” - Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners Program that aids the victim with this process.
  • Even if you do not wish to prosecute, it is important that you have a physical exam after the attack.  Besides bruises or other physical injuries, the perpetrator might have passed on a sexually transmitted disease that requires treatment.  An HIV/AIDS test may also ease your mind, although six months must elapse after an attack to accurately detect the presence of HIV, the virus which causes AIDS.
  • The hospital will notify the Rappahannock Council Against Sexual Assault “RCASA”, who will supply you with a trained companion at the hospital.
  • Seek counseling from the University of Mary Washington’s Psychological Services Center (540) 654-1053.

Medical Care

As mentioned above, victims of very recent assaults should go the emergency room of Mary Washington Hospital, located on Mary Washington Hospital Blvd. off of Rt.1 (Jeff Davis Hwy) in the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia.   The victim should receive a physical exam and the collection of evidence.  All victims, past or present, should be seen by a qualified physician or nurse to check for sexually transmitted diseases, physical trauma, and possible pregnancy.  Female victims may prefer to see a female physician, and should request one if that will increase their comfort, though in the emergency room that may not always be possible.

UMW Students can receive some of the above services at the University’s Health Center (654-1040) under the care of the University’s physician during normal business hours.  However, the Health Center can not collect evidence and will refer victims to the Mary Washington Hospital Emergency Room.  Even if no symptoms are apparent, victims are still strongly encouraged to seek medical attention.

Counseling

Students coping with a sexual assault have counseling services that are FREE of charge and are CONFIDENTIAL (654-1053) that are on-campus at the University’s Psychological Services Center that are staffed with licensed professionals.

Many other options exist which have some cost associated with them, such as private therapists.  Counseling is often crucial to the recovery process, and victims should be encouraged to seek the assistance of qualified professionals, even if many years have elapsed since the assault.  As always, the choice to seek counseling should be the victim’s.


Legal and Judicial Options

Sexual assault victims have three judicial options from which to choose: filing criminal charges, filing campus judicial charges, and filing a civil suit for monetary damages.  Victims are not just limited to just one of these options, but can choose any combination including filing all three types of charges.  Below is a brief description of each type of judicial process.

  • Criminal Charge

Filing criminal charges means going to the police.  If the assault happened on campus, it falls under the jurisdiction of the UMW Police (654-1025).  If it happened off-campus, but still in the City of Fredericksburg, it falls under the jurisdiction of the City of Fredericksburg Police (654-5730).   If the assault occurred in another locality, then the local law enforcement agency should be contacted.

Criminal charges are prosecuted by the Commonwealth Attorney, not the individual victim.  The prosecuting attorney for the Commonwealth will argue the case in the court at no cost to the victim.  The victim serves at the primary witness to the crime and his or her testimony is crucial to the case.  Criminal cases may take considerable time to proceed through the criminal justice system.  Typically, the identity of the victim is protected by the press, although the identity of the accused perpetrator is not.

  •   University Judicial Charge

Campus judicial charges can only be filed if the alleged offender is a University of Mary Washington student.  The referral agent is typically a member of the UMW community as well.  The campus judicial system examines violations of University policy.  Campus judicial hearings do not replace or substitute for criminal prosecutions, and students who choose campus judicial hearings are also encouraged to seek redress through the criminal justice system and civil court.  The Dean of Student Life or designee (654-1062) will provide information to the victim about options for pursuing a charge against the assailant through the University judicial process.


The student will be asked to relate the incident in writing to the Dean of Student Life.  The student will also relate the incident verbally, with a friend present if the student wishes.  The Dean will then initiate the Student Conduct Hearing Board process.  This procedure is detailed in the Student Handbook.   The Student Conduct Board is trained annually regarding the appropriate handling of sexual assault cases.

Both the accuser and accused have the same opportunity to have others present (in support or advisory roles) during campus disciplinary hearings.

  • Both parties have the right to be informed of the outcome of any disciplinary hearing involving sexual assault;
  • Students shall be informed of their options to notify proper law enforcement authorities; including University and local police, and the option to be assisted by campus authorities in notifying such authorities, if the student so chooses;
  • Survivors shall be notified of available counseling, mental health or student services for victims of sexual assault, both on campus and in the community; and
  • Notification to students of and options for, and available assistance in, changing academic and living situations after an alleged sexual assault incident, if so requested by the victim and if such changes are reasonably available.
  • Civil Court

Sexual assault victims have the right to sue the perpetrator or other involved parties for monetary damages.  This type of legal proceeding, which may be pursued alone or in conjunction with criminal and/or campus judicial charges, does require an attorney.  As with campus judicial action, the burden of proof is a preponderance of the evidence.  Victims considering this type of prosecution are advised to consult a private attorney for information.


Sexual assault victims who are reluctant to contact the police directly may file a “Third Party Sexual Assault” report via a third person to the UMW Police Department.  These reports are not counted as actual crime offenses unless they have been fully investigated by the police.  These reports are utilized as a method to provide the victim medical and psychological assistance and statistically show areas which may need additional educational programming.

  IMPORTANT TELEPHONE NUMBERS

This section has attempted to offer an overview of sexual assault issues, and the available options on the campus of University of Mary Washington.  No one publication can be entirely comprehensive.  Sexual assault is a complex issue; no two cases will have exactly the same results or the same course of action.  The University therefore offers a variety of services so that victims can get the assistance they most need.  For further explanation or elaboration of the information in this section, contact the agencies whose numbers are listed here.

      UMW POLICE                  

The Annual Security Report of University of Mary Washington is published and distributed by October 1st of each year in accordance with congressional reporting requirements as set forth in the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crimes Statistics Act otherwise known as the Clery Act under 20 U.S.C. 1092f.    Prospective students may obtain of the Annual Security Report from the University’s Admissions Office.  Prospective employees may obtain of the Annual Security Report from the University’s Human Resources Office.  A copy of the Annual Security Report is obtainable from the lobby of the University’s Police Department at anytime by the general public.  The UMW Police Department’s Annual Security Report is also viewable on their Internet web site located on the University’s Internet web page.   

The University of Mary Washington Police Department operates on a 24-hour, 365 days a year basis to provide service and protection to approximately 5,000 persons, including students, faculty and staff, as well as the buildings and grounds of the University.  The department consists of 24 full time employees: 12 sworn police officers and 11 support staff.  UMW Police officers are certified by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services and are empowered to enforce all federal, state and local laws as provided for under Virginia Code section 23-234.  As certified law enforcement officers, the University’s Police officers have full authority to make criminal and traffic arrests.

The Police Departments maintains an informative web site on the University’s Internet web page located at:

    • PATROL

The jurisdiction of the UMW Police includes all University owned or controlled property to include public sidewalks and streets immediately adjacent, as well as the main campus, athletic fields, Facilities Services at the Battleground complex, Brompton Estate, Trench Hill, The James Monroe Law Office - Museum and Memorial Library, James Monroe Presidential Center, and Belmont Estate - The Gari Melchers Gallery. 


The UMW Police regularly patrols the streets, parking lots, grounds of the campus.  The Officers patrol via vehicles, bicycles and on foot.  Officers are required to make periodic foot patrols of the area around and inside buildings during each shift.  In addition to increasing security, foot patrols also provide officers with an opportunity to enhance communications with the individuals who live and work at the University.

UMW Police are responsible for maintaining order and ensuring public safety during all campus events, such as athletic events, concerts, rallies, or visits from high ranking government officials, and on occasion play host to local schools utilizing the University’s facilities.  The University Police Department also employs  unarmed security personnel who are assigned to work special events and functions on campus as needed.

UMW Police strive at all times to help make the University community as safe and harmonious as possible; however there are times when crimes occur and arrests must be made.  UMW Police and Community Service Officers are also empowered to enforce city parking ordinances, which apply to University students, by the authority of the Chief of Police for the City of Fredericksburg.  The UMW Police maintain a close working relationship with the Virginia State Police, City of Fredericksburg Police and the Sheriff’s Offices of Stafford and Spotsylvania Counties. 

    • Investigations

UMW Police conduct thorough criminal and traffic investigations with the latest training available to law enforcement personnel in the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

    • Crime Prevention

UMW Police officers provide educational programming, security surveys and other crime prevention functions to the University community upon request or as needed.  Educational programs include Alcohol Awareness, Bicycle Safety and Registration, Drug Awareness, Operation ID, Personal and Property Safety and Rape Aggression Defense.


R.A.D. is a self defense course known as Rape Aggression Defense Systems, Inc.; a twelve-hour course in basic self defense.  The UMW Police Department has a certified R.A.D. instructor who conducts this course in four, three hour blocks of instruction that include class room and practical applications.  These blocks of practical instruction will involve the instructor wearing a realistic simulation suit to permit the student to experience a physical attack in a controlled environment, thus giving the student the opportunity to practice the self defense techniques learned in this program. 

R.A.D. Systems Inc. has a lifetime practice policy; once a student completes the basic program, they may go to any R.A.D. Instructor any practice their skills as often as he or she wishes for free of cost.

Beginning with orientation sessions for incoming 1st Year Students and their parents, the Police Department provides safety programs throughout the year in the residence halls in conjunction with the University’s Office of Residence Life staff.

Keeping the University Community Informed

The UMW Police Department is very concerned about providing timely warnings to the entire University community about potential threats to students or employees.

At times it may be necessary for “timely warnings” to be issued to the University community.  If a crime occurs and notification is necessary to warn the University community of a potentially dangerous situation the UMW Police Department should be notified immediately.  The Police Department will then contact the Public Relations Office to prepare a release and the information will be disseminated to the local media.  The police department will also send out “Crime Alert Message” via the University’s GroupWise e-mail system to all individual E-mail accounts of students, faculty and staff regarding crimes that are classified as serious incidents.

Emergency Alerts

 

In the event of an emergency on campus that requires the employees or student body be notified, the University will utilize the UMW Alert Network.  This is a system that notifies the campus community by cell phone text messages, e-mail and pager.  Enrollment is voluntary and is a quick process that is available to UMW employees, students, parents of students, and alumni.

Registration for this program is made by accessing the UMW Alert Network home page at-

https://alert.umw.edu

Operation Identification

The UMW Police Department has engravers to loan for the purposes of engraving personal property.  This nationally recognized identification procedure is thought to help make items theft resistant, because engraved items are more easily identified making them harder to sell.  Another benefit to the program is, if an item is lost or stolen, then recovered, it is much easier for the owner to be located and the property returned.  The recommended procedure for engraving items is:  abbreviate your state and driver’s license number on the item (Ex. VA123456789) with the engraving tool.


Fingerprinting Services

UMW Police provides fingerprinting services for UMW students, faculty, staff and their families at no cost, anytime when staffing permits based upon calls for service.

Safety Escort Service

The UMW Police Department sponsors a nighttime safety escort service.    The Escort Service operates from dusk until dawn and provides transportation or a walking escort, upon request, to persons who must cross campus during the nighttime hours alone.  The escort service may be contacted by calling 654-1025 or by utilizing one of the campus emergency phones.

Reporting a Crime or Getting Emergency Assistance

Criminal or suspicious acts and emergencies should be reported to the police immediately; in person, by telephone, or by using one of the emergency phones strategically located around campus.

The University of Mary Washington Police Department is located in Brent Hall.  The Dispatch office is staffed 24 hours a day, year round, and is available to provide you information that you may need.  The University’s Police Department handles all law enforcement calls for service as well as fire and emergency medical calls on campus.  The UMW Police Dispatcher will also notify the City of Fredericksburg Emergency Operations Center for a response by City fire or ambulance units for these types of calls on campus. 

The UMW Police Department maintains two telephone numbers:

 

- For Police, Fire and Rescue emergency calls on campus, dial “777".    The University’s “777" system is similar to “911" in other jurisdictions and dials directly into the UMW Police Communications Office for on campus police, fire or rescue emergencies.   If you are unable to speak, stay on the line.  The dispatcher will be able to ascertain your location.  Otherwise, follow the dispatcher’s instructions.

- For police non-emergency matters, dial 654-1025 (only the last four digits “1025" need to be dialed from an on-campus phone).

- If you have an emergency on campus, DO NOT dial “911” from a UMW campus phone.  “911” is answered by the Fredericksburg 911 Center and the necessity of transferring calls back to the UMW Police would delay emergency response.

How to report an emergency on campus:

POLICE:

    • Dial “777" from any on campus telephone.
    • Give the location of the incident.
    • Describe what is happening or what you have observed.
    • Give a description of the suspect(s).
    • Give the suspects means and direction of travel.
    • Stay on the phone and answer any questions the dispatcher may have.
    • Stay on the phone until the dispatcher tells you to handg up.

RESCUE:

    • Dial “777" from any on campus telephone.
    • Give the nature of the injury or illness.
    • Give the location where the first aid unit is needed.
    • Answer any questions the dispatcher may have.
    • Stay on the phone until the dispatcher tells you to hang up.

FIRE:

    • Dial “777" from any on campus telephone.
    • Give the location of the fire or fire alarm.
    • Answer any questions the dispatcher may have.
    • Exit the building.


MAKING A SAFE & SECURE CAMPUS

Campus Emergency Telephone System

The University currently has 134 emergency telephones strategically placed across campus in all student parking lots, building elevators, on the interior campus walkways, at the Battlegrounds Complex area and in all academic buildings on campus.  The exterior emergency telephones are mounted on posts with blue lights that are illuminated during the non-day light hours.

To operate most of the emergency telephone stations, lift the receiver or depress the activation button until you hear a series of audible clicks.  The automatic dialer is forwarding your call to the Police Communications Office located in Brent Hall.  When your call is answered, please indicate your location and the nature of the emergency or assistance needed. 

Building and Residence Hall Access and Security

Members of the Office of Residence Life staff and the Police Department have a close working relationship.  An orientation session is held before each fall semester in August to acquaint new staff members with Police personnel and to review new and existing policies.    Residence Life staff are given information on what may be expected in a given situation and what resources are available to them to resolve issues in the most efficient manner.

 

Regulations governing campus housing are administered through the Office of Residence Life.  All guests entering the residence halls are required to register with and present personal identification to a desk aide who monitors access at the main entrance of all residence halls.  The exterior doors of the residence halls are secured at all times unless a desk aide is on duty.  Door alarms are posted on all other dorm exit doors and are monitored by the hall staff.  Students and their guests are required to adhere to the regulations on building access to reduce the risk of compromising residence hall safety and security.

The UMW Police Department works closely with Facilities Services and the Office of Residence Life to maintain security in all University buildings.  Security and safety hazards may be reported to the University Police at 654-1025.


The University’s employees in Facilities Services (654-1047,)  Locksmith Shop (654-1643,) and Office of Safety and Environmental Health (654-2096) inspect campus facilities regularly, promptly making repairs affecting safety and security, and respond to reports of potential safety and security hazards, such as broken windows, doors and locks.

Lighting and Landscape

Parking lots, sidewalks, and all major walkways are lighted at night.  The UMW Police personnel check these lights frequently. Any lights not functioning or operating improperly are reported to the police dispatcher and in turn to Facilities Services for repair.  Any shrubbery or trees that are observed to be a security risk by creating dark spots, hiding places or obscuring overhead lighting are reported to the Grounds Department under Facilities Services for corrective action.  If more practical, a priority work order is submitted to Facilities Services to make the necessary repairs during the next business day.

The UMW Police Department performs a security review on all architectural plans before implementation.

  PERSONAL SAFETY TIPS

Safety and security doesn’t begin and end with the University Police.  It takes the entire University community- students, faculty and staff to make our campus a safe and secure place to live, work, learn and sometimes play. 

What can you do to help?

    • Trust your instincts.  If a place or situations doesn’t feel right, leave.
    • Avoid working or studying alone in a building at night.
    • Avoid shortcuts and isolated areas when walking after dark.
    • Don’t leave your personal property lying around unattended.
    • Carry a whistle for alerting others in the event of an emergency.
    • Never prop exterior doors open.
    • Keep your residence hall room locked when leaving, even for “just a minute” and when sleeping.
    • Lock windows and close shades after dark.
    • Never attach your name and address to keys.
    • When traveling in your vehicle keep windows up and doors locked.
    • Engrave your valuables.
    • Report any suspicious or criminal activity to the police immediately.       


    • If you have an ADA-identified disability which requires special equipment, be sure to identify yourself to the University’s administration so proper installation and maintenance of such equipment may be scheduled.

PROCEDURES FOR GATHERING CRIME STATISTICS           

The UMW Police Department is charged with the responsibility of collecting data and preparing the annual crime report.  At the beginning of each calendar year the Police Department completes an analysis of crime reported to the Police Department for the preceding calendar year.  Data is also collected from the following University Departments: Athletics Department, EOAA Office, Office of Residence Life, Office of Judicial Affairs, Student Affairs, Student Activities, Psychological Services and Health Center.  Names and dates of offenses are compared to assure over reporting is not occurring.

* The Campus Security Act was amended in 1998. Any marked increase across years from previous years can be accounted for by the fact that the geographical boundaries for reporting of drug, alcohol, and weapons violations have also been broadened to include not only arrests but also disciplinary referrals.

“On public property” is defined as streets and sidewalks adjacent and contiguous to University owned or leased property that is under the jurisdiction of the UMW Police Department.

KEY TO HATE CRIMES NOTATIONS:

Type of Bias or Prejudice

Race= ra

Gender= g

Religion = re

Sexual Orientation = s

Ethnicity = e

Disability = d

Each statistic resulting in bodily injury that is motivated by a type of bias or prejudice will have a superscript notation for the type of bias.  Numbers in superscripted parenthesis indicate the  number of the total number of incidents that were motivated by each type of bias.

N.B.: If hate crimes occur involving bodily injury, but do not fall in the above categories, they must be separately noted in an additional section.

Daily Crime Log

The University of Mary Washington Police Department maintains a Daily Crime Log (beginning October 1, 1998) of all campus reported crimes.  The crime log is located in the UMW Police Communications Office in Brent Hall, room 104B and is accessible for review by the general public upon request to the on duty police communications officer.

All reported crimes will be listed by;

- Date the crime was reported to Police;

- Nature, date, time and general location of each crime;

- Disposition of the compliant, if known.

Reports made to the University Police Department will be entered into the Daily Crime Log within two business days of the actual date the Police report was taken.
