Statement of Current Policies Concerning Campus Law Enforcement The College maintains a cooperative and harmonious working relationship with all local law enforcement agencies. The College stands ready to cooperate fully with all Wisconsin and local police department personnel. Information is exchanged with the law enforcement agencies regarding Security Incident Report facts in an attempt to keep them informed about campus crime and crime-related problems. A monthly and yearly report is compiled by the college based upon the Security Incident Reports filed during the year. This report is presented to the Board annually. Reporting of Criminal Actions or Emergencies The responsibility for maintaining security and emergency responses at NWTC are under the direction of the district Security Coordinator, (920) 498-5699. To report a security situation, the reporter should contact Security staff by calling (920) 498-5699, or stopping at the Security Office in room SC121, on the Green Bay campus. For an Emergency, dial 911. Please contact Security to report anything seen or heard that is concerning. Tips can remain anonymous. The Marinette campus, Sturgeon Bay campus, and the Regional Learning Centers are responsible for security and emergency responses. To report a security and/or emergency situation, the reporter should contact a staff member at that location. All incidents will be documented and forwarded to the Security Office on the Green Bay campus. If the report concerns a vehicular accident, vandalism, or theft, the victim should also call the local police department. The Basic Bill of Rights for Victims and Witnesses of Crimes A person shall be informed by local law enforcement agencies and the district attorney of the final disposition of the case. The victim/witness shall be notified that a court proceeding, to which they have been subpoenaed, will not go on as scheduled in order to save the person an unnecessary trip to court. Information pertaining to the economic, physical and psychological effect of the crime upon the victim of a felony shall be submitted to and considered by the court. The victim/witness shall receive protection from harm and threats of harm arising out of their cooperation with law enforcement and prosecution efforts and be provided with information as to the level of protection available.
