Confidential Reporting:

If you are the victim of a crime or a witness and do not want to pursue action within the university system or the local police agency, you are encouraged to consider a confidential report. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential while taking steps to ensure the safety of yourself and others. Reports filed confidentially are counted and disclosed, without personal information, in the annual crime statistics for William Woods University.  Confidential reports can be made using the Reporting Form (Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual misconduct, ADA, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion concerns).

Upon contact with Campus Safety or notification of a safety incident and/or a campus emergency, Safety Officers investigate situations and contact appropriate support services such as the local police, fire department, ambulance services, and/or campus maintenance staff for assistance. “Incident reports” that outline the issues and identify individuals involved in the incident are written. Copies of all reports are provided to the administrative department responsible for campus safety. You may obtain a copy of an incident report by submitting a written request to the Director of Campus Safety and Security. Campus Safety Officers are not authorized to release these reports.

Timely Warning:

The university seeks to notify members of the campus community in a timely manner of the occurrence of crimes that would be a potential threat to students and/or employees. Messages addressing these specific situations will be sent via the Livesafe app, text message, and email. Additionally, in any event creating a danger to the campus community or a threat of imminent danger, a warning will be issued via the Livesafe app, text message and email.
