Questions

Delaware State University Procedure Title: Timely Warnings Administrative Council approval date: 11/10/05 Related Policies and Procedures: In the event that a situation arises, either on or off campus, that the Chief of University Police (or his/her designee as needed) determines it is necessary to release information on Clery reportable incidents and it constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus wide “timely warning” will be issued after consultation with the Vice President of Human Resources, Legal, and Legislative Affairs and the office of Public Relations. The warning will be issued through the DSU e-mail system to students, faulty, staff, the Hornet student newspaper, voicemail, DSU television and radio stations, and the local media. Depending on the particular circumstances of the crime, especially in all situations that could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the Office of Public Safety may also post a notice on the University’s web page at: http://www.desu.edu providing the university community with more immediate notification. In such instances, a copy of the notice is posted in each residence hall, the University Courtyard Apartments, and the MLK Student Center. Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to the University Police office, by phone (857-6290) or in person at the dispatch center within Public Safety, Grossley Hall. 1

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics This information is provided to meet the requirements of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act of 1998. Delaware State University (DSU) is a quasi-urban institution in Dover Delaware, and founded in 1891. It is an open campus community during the day and restricted to students, faculty, staff, and authorized guests during the night hours. Although there are many pleasures associated with an open yet restricted campus, we share many of the same problems of our surrounding community. Similar universities that try to place the importance of correct social and interpersonal conduct in promoting a learning experience use University Police Department’s to establish a safe and healthy environment. The Delaware State University Department of Public Safety is responsible for the safety and security of all members of the University community. We solicit your support and active participation in our safety and campus security efforts. We further challenge you as members of this community to act in a security conscious manner to avoid actions, which jeopardize your safety and the safety of others. The information in this booklet is designed to inform you of the police and security support services at Delaware State University. These services have been developed to create an environment supportive of educational, research, and extracurricular activities. We greatly encourage you to follow the advice and suggestions in this booklet with the hope that it will greatly reduce the risk of victimization. Preventing and reducing crime effectively in our community means that we need your help, support, and cooperation. WE CARE… WE ARE COMMITTED TO A SAFE AND HEALTHY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT TOGETHER WE CAN MAINTAIN A SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY.

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 October 2005 Approximately 400 acres and numerous modern buildings comprise the Delaware State University campus. The University is established for the general purpose of preparing students to become life-long learners and to compete successfully in the new millennium. The Delaware State University Department of Public Safety has the primary responsibility for security on campus. The perception of safety is important but the ability to make the student safe is greater. Our students will receive a professional customer service response. Additionally, having a professional Department of Public Safety allows a true partnership and respect amongst other law enforcement agencies. Delaware State University Department of Public Safety’s mission is . . . "to support the administrative and financial performance of the University and provide a safe and healthy physical plant for students, faculty, staff and the public." The Department's efforts include preventive measures through education and enforcement, which promote awareness and individual responsibility in an effort to prevent criminal and safety mishaps. On July 1, 2000, legislation went into effect giving Delaware State University approval to operate a Department of Public Safety. In establishing such an agency, Delaware State Police Department now known as the Department of Public Safety, became the “primary campus law- enforcement-servicing agency”. This enables our officers to receive professional police training, national agency accreditation, access to professional research, membership to professional associations, grants and the recognition of professionalism. Delaware State University Department of Public Safety’s security policies and procedures will derive their authority from their appointment by the University and their compliance with the appropriate legislative codes administered by the State of Delaware. Specific statues govern enforcement regulations concerning consumption and use of alcoholic beverages, substance abuse, possession of firearms, and the registration and monitoring of social events. As a community-oriented policing organization, we are committed to a partnership with the community in which we pledge to provide high-quality community policing programs and services. Our mission is to work with all members of the campus and the communities to preserve life, maintain human rights, protect property, and ultimately enhance the quality of life on campus and in the community. The Department of Public Safety is centrally located on campus in Grossley Hall. Police, Security Officers or a Supervisor is on duty 24 hours, 365 days a year. All incoming reports of criminal activity involving Delaware State University students are investigated. Within our concurrent jurisdiction, the Department of Public Safety initiates criminal and administrative prosecutions for offenses taking place on campus and off campus. 2

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 CAMPUS SECURITY The DSU Department of Public Safety provides basic police/security services to the campus community.

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 TRAINING Police Officers must successfully complete a state certified academy of training up to a period of six months for the appropriate basic academy. The Delaware State Police Academy is the primary source for this training. Upon completion of this very intense academy, officers are assigned to field training officers and must complete 120 hours of additional field training. Police Officers must also complete established hours of in-service training every two years. Security Officers must successfully complete the DSU Basic Security Officers Training Program meeting 200 hours of classroom and the “On the Job” training criteria. All Security Officers will complete 24 hours of annual in-service training at the proposed DSU Police Leadership Institute hosted by the Department of Continuing Education. Basic training and in-service training covers such topics as: Cultural Diversity; Weapons Qualification; Physical Training; Driver Training; Crime Prevention; Investigations; Legal Issues; Statute Law; Officer Stress Training; Crime Scene Protection; CPR/Basic First Aid; Police Defensive Tactics/Use of Force; Evidence Processing; Patrol Techniques; and Communications POLICE AUTHORITY AND JURISDICTION Delaware State University Police Officers will derive their authority from their appointment by the University and their compliance with the appropriate legislative codes and training guidelines administered by the Council on Police Training. Delaware State University Police Officers are sworn officers, empowered and mandated to enforce all federal, state and local laws. DSU police officers and police supervisors will carry oleoresin capsicum spray, asps and must undergo annual firearm and unarmed self-defense qualifications. In all cases, each officer of the department must use only the minimum amount of force, which is consistent with the accomplishment of his/her mission and should exhaust every other reasonable means of apprehension or defense before considering the use of a firearm. The DSU Police Officers are authorized to arrest any persons who violate state or local laws on the campus. It is important that the University community understands the listed information: 1. Students or any other persons, who commit crimes on the campus, such as breaking and entering a building, should expect to be arrested and have the case heard in the local court. 2. Persons who resist arrest, use inciting language or fail to respond to Department of Public Safety should expect to be arrested and have the case heard in the local court. 3. Students or any other persons apprehended by the Department of Public Safety for various reasons which may include, but are not limited to, abusive language, disrupting activities of the University, 5

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 fighting, trespassing, and drinking alcoholic beverages “on- campus”, should cooperate with the Department of Public Safety just as individuals cooperate with state and local police. If not, they may be subjected to arrest. Persons arrested may be eligible for court diversion programs when appropriate. The Department of Public Safety will also assist in keeping the campus safe and attractive by performing traffic control and enforcement of state and campus regulations for motor vehicles. ACCESS TO THE CAMPUS The Delaware State University Department of Public Safety Headquarters is centrally located on campus in Grossley Hall, Room 105 (across from Memorial Hall). The Department of Public Safety is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week providing security services, parking registration, after hours lost or stolen identification card site and disabled vehicle assistance. Police and security officers on a 24-hour basis check buildings regularly. The University Department of Public Safety operates the Welcome Center located at the main entrance of the University. The Center assists visitors and anyone requiring information concerning the University. During the evenings, Saturday and Sundays, access to the campus is restricted to persons affiliated with the University or invited guests of a person affiliated with the University. All vehicles must be registered and visitors must obtain temporary parking passes to be in compliance with the parking rules and regulations. If not, these vehicles are in violation and subject to be towed at the owner’s expense. REPORTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY Information on crimes that may impact or relate to the surrounding community and state is shared directly with appropriate law enforcement agencies. In cases where students are involved in violations of campus policy, and/or state and local law, both internal and external judicial action may be taken. The Office of Student Affairs will initiate disciplinary action in accordance with University judicial code for violators who are members of the University community. Internal judicial action will be initiated, in addition to, not in lieu of, filing of criminal charges before the local district court system. Crimes by University student groups at off-campus locations are reported to Delaware State Department of Public Safety by local police authorities. The Department of Public Safety has established a successful open line of communication with the Dover Police Department through which we receive local crime statistics and information that may impact or relate to our immediate and/or surrounding communities. REPORTING CRIMES AND EMERGENCIES It is Delaware State University's policy to protect the rights, the safety and the welfare of the students, faculty and staff and everyone in the surrounding University community. Each person is expected to conduct themselves with proper respect for one another and each other's property. 6

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 It is extremely important to note that each person of the Delaware State University community has the right to be free from acts of violence and threats of violence. They are expected and required to comply with all state, city and federal laws. Any person living, studying, working and/or visiting the University Campus who is victimized by, observes or has knowledge of a criminal action/offense or other emergency should immediately report such action, offense or emergency to the Delaware State University Department of Public Safety or to any University official he or she feels comfortable talking to. The Department of Public Safety will investigate all complaints. Violations of the law can result in charges by the DSU Department of Public Safety, local police, and referral to the Student Affairs. Students, faculty, staff and visitors are encouraged to report all suspicious persons and activities, crimes that might be witnessed or crimes against themselves occurring on campus and in the surrounding communities to the Department of Public Safety. You may report the incident in person at Grossley Hall, Room 105 or by dialing the non-emergency number (302) 857-6290. All incoming reports of criminal activity involving Delaware State University students are investigated. After an incident is reported, an officer is dispatched to the site of the complainant/victim. Police or Security officers prepare and submit incident reports when warranted and the investigator will complete all necessary follow-up investigations. Outdoor blue light emergency call boxes are located throughout the campus. These security measures are provided to ensure your safety. To activate the call boxes, simply push the large black button, which connects you to the Public Safety dispatcher. The dispatcher will then identify the activated call box and ask for the nature of the emergency. Try to remain calm and begin to speak loudly and clearly. Give the location and nature of the emergency. REPORTING CRIME STATISTICS Monthly crime reports are filed as part of the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting /Incident Based Reporting. The Public Safety Administrator compiles these statistics into an annual report. The annual report shows crime trends and comparisons for the past year. Crime statistics are distributed to the Delaware State University community to advise them of crime trends or incidents and prevention tips. In the near future, crime statistics will be available through the Department of Public Safety’s web page (www.desu.edu). Viewings of daily crime logs are available upon request. 7

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Zero Tolerance means the University prohibits all illegal and unauthorized possession and/or use of weapons or drugs and/or fighting/assault and battery that directly contributes to the emotional or physical detriment of University personnel or enrolled students. The zero tolerance policy is effective as it relates to on-campus activities and University sponsored off-campus activities. Although the legal drinking age in Delaware is 21, University regulations prohibit any student from possessing or consuming alcohol in the residence halls, dining hall, and at student social functions, regardless of age. Any student found on campus to be in possession of or consuming alcoholic beverages on campus will be subject to University disciplinary action and/or criminal action. The University will uphold the federal and state laws concerning the illegal use, possession, consumption, sale, trafficking, manufacturing, dispersing and/or distribution of drugs, narcotics, controlled substances, counterfeit substances and drug paraphernalia. Any student found in violation of this policy will be referred to the Judicial System. If found responsible, he/she may be immediately suspended from the University for a minimum of one (1) year. The Office of Student Affairs distributes the Delaware State University Student Handbook to the students. As a deterrent to alcohol and other drug use and abuse, the University supports, promotes and sponsors programs, which serve to enhance students, faculty, and staff awareness of the devastating effects and consequences of indulging in the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. COUNSELING CENTER Under the auspices of the Office of Student and Academic Support Services, the Office of Counseling Services is designed to help students to meet their personal, social and academic needs Counselors are involved in helping students explore their needs, feelings, inter-personal relationships and life goals. Personal development workshops, individual and group counseling sessions for personal issues and support groups for non-traditional students, readmitted suspension and probationary status students are strategies employed by counselors to maximize student’s growth and successful completion of the University experience. Counseling sessions take place in private, and the relationship between counselors and students are held in strictest confidence.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY Delaware State University is committed to maintaining a learning and work environment in an atmosphere free of threat of unwelcome and unwanted sexual actions. Sexual Assaults are serious violations of the University's student judicial code, faculty standards, and University employee's policies. The University prohibits sexual offenses in any form. It is unacceptable behavior and sexual offenders will not be tolerated. Harassment on the basis of sex is a violation of Title 11 of the Delaware Code and Title VII, Section 703 of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. Sexual harassment includes a wide range of behavior ranging from the actual coercing of sexual relations to the forcing of sexual attentions, verbal or physical, on an unwilling individual. Delaware State University is committed to providing an atmosphere free from unwanted sexual pressure. 9

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 Any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual employment or educational career; Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for decisions affecting such individual; Such conduct prevents or impairs an individual’s full use of educational benefits, climate or opportunities; Such conduct interferes with or adversely affects an individual’s work performance; or Such conduct creates an intimidating hostile or offensive working environment. The following types of actions may constitute sexual harassment: • deliberate assaults • “accidental” brushes or touches • degrading comments or jokes directed at an individual’s race, ethnic background, gender or handicapping condition which has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating hostile or offensive educational or work environment • catcalls, whistles, obscene reference to a person’s anatomy • staring, leering, ogling • sexual teasing, gestures • pressure for dates or sex • suggestions that sex can be exchanged for grades or a promotion Report any claim of sexual harassment to the Vice President of Human Resources and Legislative Affairs located in The Administration Building, second floor. All matters discussed will be strictly confidential. SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICY Sexual assault is defined as any unwanted touching of a sexual nature. This includes, but is not limited to: • Unwanted kissing, touching or fondling • Penetration with a finger or a foreign object • Rape (vaginal intercourse, oral - genital contact, anal intercourse) These acts constitute sexual assault when they are attempted or committed through force, threat, or intimidation, when the perpetrator has been informed that his/her actions are unwanted: or through the use of the victim’s incapacity or helplessness caused by alcohol or other drugs. 10

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 Rape is defined as “unlawful sexual intercourse by force or deception”. A person is guilty of rape in the first degree when one intentionally engages in sexual intercourse with another person without consent. Rape is generally categorized by laymen into three areas based on the characterization of the rapist, i.e. stranger rape, date/acquaintance rape and gang/group rape. • Stranger Rape - the sexual assault of an individual by someone the victim does not know. • Date or Acquaintance Rape - the sexual assault of an individual by someone the victim knows, usually an acquaintance or a date. Date rape is the most common type of rape occurring on college or university campuses, but the least frequently reported. • Group/Gang Rape - the sexual assault of an individual by multiple perpetrators. It is the responsibility of Delaware State University to make every effort to see that the victim of a reported sexual assault is offered medical and psychological care, counseling services, change of a victim's living and/or academic situations (when such changes are reasonably available and are requested by the victim), and the appropriate community services. The University will also assist with the compiling of information that is necessary to prosecute the suspect through both the criminal and University Judicial Systems. PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING A SEX OFFENSE On college campuses, date rape and acquaintance rape are of significant concern. Sexual assault is illegal and a violation of Delaware State University Policy. The decision to report the crime is yours. You do have the option of reporting the incident to the Department of Public Safety (857-6290) or directly to the Dover Police Department (9-911). In either case, the DSU Department of Public Safety will be able to assist you with the process. The Department of Public Safety will also contact the Office of Student Affairs, who will make other contacts. Reporting a sexual assault may lessen the chances of it happening to others. Regardless of whether or not you press criminal charges, academic and judicial intervention is available to you through the Office of Student Affairs. The Office of Student Affairs is available to coordinate efforts to meet your needs throughout the crisis. If requested, the Office of Student Affairs will assist with safety concerns such as consulting with academic chairpersons for class options, living situation, or a protection order and discussion with significant others/parents, etc. The Office of Student Affairs provides information, education, intervention and referral for all interested women and men. The University will respond promptly, fairly and 11

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 decisively to all reports of sexual assault. Students should feel free to report all instances of sexual assault. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, it is important that immediate medical attention be obtained. A number of resources are available both on and off campus to assist an assault victim. The following procedures and services are strongly recommended: • Get to a safe place as soon as you can. • Contact someone you trust to be with you and support you. • If sexually assaulted, you should have a complete medical exam. You will benefit from being examined for physical injury and disease. • Please do not shower, wash, bathe or douche, as this will destroy evidence that supports a legal case against an assailant if you choose to prosecute. • Try not to urinate. • Do not change clothes. • Go to the hospital for medical assistance. Should you need transportation, the Department of Public Safety (857-6290) will assist you. • DSU Health Services (857-6393) can assist in obtaining follow-up treatment and medical care, if desired. • The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program (SANE) can be called and is available at 302 430-5626 to assist. If the assault occurred some time ago, • You may just now be realizing that you still have options available to you. • Medical attention may still be needed for treatment of physical symptoms. • Seek counseling. Unresolved experiences of sexual assault can have long-term psychological and social effects. JUDICIAL PROCEDURES The Student Judicial System has jurisdiction if the sexual assault charge is filed with the Director of Student Judicial Affairs after the assault has occurred. A judicial council will determine whether there has been a violation of student judicial code and will recommend sanctions to the Office of Student Affairs. The decision may be appealed by the accused. Criminal Investigation/Prosecution - The University encourages reporting the incident to the police. Even if the victim chooses not to report immediately, the report can be made later. Reporting an assault does not mean the victim has to prosecute (go to court), but it does begin the legal process should the decision to prosecute be made at a alter date. Criminal prosecution punishes the attacker and helps deter others from committing similar acts. Civil Lawsuits - Victims may hire a private attorney to file a lawsuit for damages against the perpetrator. Many attorneys take cases on a contingency basis; their fees are an agreed portion of any compensation that is collected from the perpetrator. This process takes place in a local civil (not 12

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 criminal) court. The purpose of the lawsuit is to financially compensate the victim for the wrong done to him or her. Third-Party or Anonymous Reports - This informal process may be initiated when a student chooses not to pursue criminal or disciplinary proceedings but does seek information about University and community support services. University departments including the Counseling Center, Student Health Services, Student Affairs Office, Department of Public Safety and faculty may make an anonymous sexual assault report on behalf of the victim with the Office of Student Affairs. No identifying victim information will be given. Residence Life Staff should receive sexual assault reports, including victim names, for possible follow-up actions by the Office Student Affairs. It is ultimately the victim’s decision whether or not to use the support services offered by this office. REDUCING THE RISK OF SEXUAL ASSAULT • Psychological Preparedness: The best way to protect yourself is to use your head. Be assertive. Make sure you communicate your desires and limits clearly. • You always have the right to set sexual limits in any relationship. • Be wary of behavior that makes you feel uncomfortable. • Trust your instincts: If the behavior persists, LEAVE. • Avoid use of alcohol and other drugs. • Be aware of your surroundings: Do not assume that you are always safe. • Vary your routines whenever possible. • Try not to walk alone at night. If you must do so, walk in lighted areas only. Walk at a steady pace and look confident. Show that you are in control; body language is important in discouraging aggression. If you think someone is following you, abruptly switch directions or cross the street. If you are still being followed, go to the nearest public place and ask for help. • When jogging – don’t do it alone. If you must go by yourself, stay well clear of isolated or poorly lighted areas. • Keep your doors and windows locked. • When calling out for help - if you must ever call out for help in a building, yell, “Fire!” If you call “Help!” or “Rape!” people may be reluctant to become involved or may not take it seriously, but they always come out to see if there=s a fire. • Never, ever hitchhike. • Educate yourself concerning sexual assault prevention tactics and strategies. Avoidance Strategies/Indirect Prevention - Talk your way out of the situation. Use gimmicks. Blow your whistle. Practice screaming. Use noise and any attention getter you can think of. Confrontational Strategies/Direct Prevention - If you say something, mean it, and be prepared to follow-up. Do only what you need to do to get away safely.

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY AND ACCESS TO RELATED INFORMATION Title 11, Section 4120 and 4121 and Amended Title 11, Section 4120 and 4121 of the Delaware Code requires the Delaware State Police to maintain a registry of sex offenders available to the public via the internet. That web site can be reached at http://www.state.de.us/dsp/sexoff/index.htm. The State Bureau of Identification is the sub unit of the Delaware State Police responsible to provide this service with technical assistance from the Department of Technology and Information. The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act was enacted on October 28, 2002. The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders to register in a State to provide notice, as required under State law, of institution of higher education in that State at which the person is employed, carries on a volunteers services or is a student. (a) Unless otherwise indicated, the definitions set forth in § 4121(a) of this title shall apply to this section. In addition, when used in this section, the phrase "custodial institution" includes any Level IV or V facility operated by or for the Department of Correction, the Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services or the Delaware Psychiatric Center, or any like institution, and the phrase "temporary resident" shall include any person who is for more than 10 consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of 30 days in any 12-month period, employed or works in Delaware, or who is a full or part-time student in Delaware. A student is any person who attends any public or private educational facility, including, but not limited to, colleges or universities. (b)(1) Any sex offender who is released, discharged or paroled from any Level IV or Level V facility or other custodial institution after he or she has completed a sentence imposed following a conviction for any offense specified in § 4121(a)(4) of this title shall be required to register as a sex offender. The registration shall be completed during the Level IV or V sentence, but not more than 90 days, nor less than 45 days, prior to the offender's release, discharge or parole. The registration information shall be collected from the sex offender by the agency having custody over him or her at the time specified herein for registration. This subsection shall apply to any sex offender who is sentenced to serve any portion of his or her sentence at Level IV or V, unless such sentence is suspended in its entirety, in which case subsection (c) of this section shall apply. The registration required by this subsection shall be required whenever the sex offender is released from any Level V facility to any Level IV facility, and again when the offender is released from the Level IV facility. (2) If an offender is released to a treatment program by the Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services and the date of release could not have been determined 45 days prior to release, registration shall be completed within 48 hours of determining the release date, or upon release, whichever is earlier. 14

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 (3) If an offender is attending school, the offender shall inform the principal of the school upon enrollment of the offender's registration. (c) Any sex offender who is sentenced to Level IV home confinement, or to a period of probation at Level III or below, or who is required to pay a fine of any amount following a conviction for any offense specified in § 4121(a)(4) of this title shall be required to register as a sex offender. The registration information shall be collected from the sex offender by the sentencing court following the conviction, but no later than the time of sentencing. (d)(1) Registration information shall be collected by the agency or court specified in subsections (b) and (c) of this section on registration forms provided by the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police. The original copy of the completed and executed registration form shall be forwarded by the registering agency or court to the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police within 3 business days following the completion of the form. The completed registration form shall be signed by the sex offender and by a witness to the signature representing the registering agency or court. The registration information shall be immediately entered into DELJIS by the registering agency or court, unless such agency or court does not have access to DELJIS in which case the completed registration form shall be immediately forwarded to the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police who shall immediately enter the registration information into DELJIS. Registration information entered into DELJIS pursuant to this subsection shall be entered into a database of registered sex offenders which shall be developed and maintained by DELJIS. Nothing herein shall prevent the use of the registered sex offender database for any lawful purpose. The Superintendent of the Delaware State Police shall have the authority to audit the registration forms and information, and shall have the authority to require the sex offender to provide revised or additional information, photographs, fingerprints or exemplars if those submitted are deemed to be insufficient, and the sex offender may be required to appear at a Delaware State Police facility for such purposes. (2) The registration forms shall include, but are not limited to, the following information: the sex offender's legal name, any previously used names, aliases or nicknames, and the age, gender, race and physical description of the sex offender. The registration form shall also include all other known identifying factors, the offense history and the sex offender's anticipated place of future residence, study and/or employment. The forms shall also include a statement of any relevant conditions of release, discharge, parole or probation applicable to the sex offender. Additionally, the form shall identify the age of the victim(s) of the offense(s) and describe the victim's relationship to the offender. The form shall also indicate on its face that false statements therein are punishable by law. A photograph of the offender taken at the time of registration shall be appended to the registration form except that no photograph shall be required if the offender is re-registering within 2 years of a previous registration which was accompanied by a photograph. (e)(1) Any person convicted of any offense specified in the laws of another state, the United States or any territory of the United States which is the same as, or equivalent to, any of the 15

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 offenses set forth in § 4121(a)(4) of this title, and who is a permanent or temporary resident of the State on the date of his or her conviction shall register as a sex offender within 7 business days of conviction, unless the person is confined in a penal institution located outside the State at the time of conviction, in which case the person shall register as a sex offender within seven business days of his or her first return to the State of Delaware after release from custody. Any such person shall register at a designated Delaware State Police facility, and the Delaware State Police shall be deemed to be the registering agency.

Any such person shall register at a designated Delaware State Police facility, and the Delaware State Police shall be deemed to be the registering agency. (3) Any person convicted as described in paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) of this subsection, who is thereafter released on probation, parole or any form of early release which is supervised or monitored by the Department of Correction or the Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services shall be registered pursuant to this subsection. The Department of Correction or the Division of Rehabilitative Services shall ensure and verify such registration. (f)(1) Any sex offender who is required to register pursuant to this section who thereafter changes the offender's own residence address or place of employment and/or study shall reregister with the Delaware State Police within 7 business days of the change. The sex offender shall be required to provide adequate verification of the offender's own residence at the stated address. The Superintendent of the Delaware State Police shall be deemed to be the registering agency and shall comply with the requirements of subsection (d) of this section. (2) Within 3 business days of receiving a re-registration as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police shall notify the chief law enforcement officer having jurisdiction over the sex offender's prior residence, place of employment or study and the chief law enforcement officer having jurisdiction over the offender's new residence, or place of employment or study. The notice shall include, but is not limited to, all available registration information pertaining to the sex offender as set forth in subsection (d) of this section. (3) Whenever a sex offender re-registers pursuant to this subsection, notification shall be provided pursuant to the requirements of § 4121 of this title. 16

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY 10/05 (4) Any agency or court which collects registration information from a sex offender pursuant to this section shall, at the time of registration, provide written notice to the sex offender of the offender's duty to re-register pursuant to this section. The written notice shall also inform the offender that if the offender changes residence to another State, such new address must be registered with the Delaware State Police, with the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the offender's new residence, and that the offender must comply with any sex offender registration requirement in the new state of residence. The written notice shall also inform the offender that the offender must also comply with any sex offender registration requirement in any state where the offender is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student. The written notice shall be provided on forms provided by the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police. Receipt of this written notice shall be acknowledged by the sex offender, who shall sign the original copy of the written notice. The original copy of the written notice shall be forwarded to the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police along with the registration form. Failure of the registering agency to provide such written notice shall not constitute a defense to any prosecution based upon a violation of this section. (5) The requirements of this subsection shall apply regardless of whether the sex offender's new residence is located within or without the State. (6) Any sex offender who is required to re-register pursuant to this subsection, who is serving a sentence at Level II, III or IV at the time of such re-registration, may re-register with the agency supervising his or her sentence within 7 business days of the change of address. (g)(1) Any person required to register as a sex offender pursuant to this section shall be required periodically to verify that he or she continues to reside at the address provided at the time of registration. The frequency of periodic address verification shall be: a. Every 90 days for life following the date of completion of the initial registration form if the person is designated to Risk Assessment Tier III pursuant to § 4121 of this title.

One year after the completion of the initial registration form, and thereafter then annually, if the person is designated to Risk Assessment Tier II or I pursuant to § 4121 of this title. (2) Address verification pursuant to this subsection shall be by mail. At least 30 days prior to the date specified in this subsection for a sex offender's verification, the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police shall mail a non-returnable address verification form to the offender's last-reported address. The sex offender shall return the address verification form by mail to the Superintendent of the Delaware State Police on or before the date specified for verification. Any sex offender who fails to do so shall be in violation of this section unless 17

CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS Delaware State University Department of Public Safety will use a variety of methods to address issues of campus safety. The key to preventing crime is through awareness and educational programs. The department will sponsor safety and educational programs and seminars regularly. The programs and seminars presented on a regular basis will focus on rape prevention and date rape, substance abuse, driving under the influence (DUI) and general safety topics. Special sessions will be held during freshman orientation to familiarize new students with campus law and personal safety on and off campus. We will proactively approach crime prevention through community policing. The officers will focus on crime prevention programs “on-campus” and throughout the surrounding community. UNIVERSITY HOUSING Delaware State University believes that an important part of a resident's education at this University is achieved within the group living atmosphere maintained in its residence halls. The University has provided separate residence halls for male and female residents. They are designed to meet the housing needs of those residents who desire to live on campus. Policies and guidelines for residential living have been instituted to facilitate an atmosphere conducive to academics, safety, welfare and the comfort of all residents who reside in the residence halls. RESIDENCE HALLS It is the policy of Delaware State University that male and female residents live in separate Residential Halls - six residence halls for females and three residence halls for males. We offer double and triple accommodations. Some of our accommodations are suites with inner-personal bathroom facilities.
