LOCK-OUTS AND LOST KEYS
Students and employees occasionally get locked out of rooms and
offices. Residence Life staff can unlock student rooms during normal
duty hours. Campus Safety should be notified for lock-outs at other
times.
In the case of a lost key, students should notify the Residential Life
Office in the lower level of the New Hampshire residence hall for a
lock change and replacement key. Faculty and staff members should
notify their supervisor or department head.
CAMPUS SAFETY AND FACILITIES ISSUES
Maintenance problems affecting the safety and security of the campus
are given high priority. Facilities personnel are on-call around the
clock to rectify problems that present an immediate compromise to
safety. Campus Safety Officers and Residence Life staff document and
report facility needs as part of their regular patrols. The staff
in both areas works closely with Facilities and Environmental
Services personnel to maintain a pleasant environment for living,
learning and working.
AUTHORITY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH
OTHER AGENCIES
The Officers of the Franklin Pierce University Department of Campus
Safety, acting as agents of the University, are authorized to enforce
policies and regulations of the University and to refer those individuals
in violation to the Director of Campus Safety and the Director of
Judicial Affairs. Officers do not have sworn police powers.
The University maintains a cooperative relationship with the Town of
Rindge and Campus Safety Officers work closely with law enforcement
officers from the Town. Campus Safety periodically works with state
and federal organizations on investigations, programs and training.
The University does not maintain any off-campus student organizations.
PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL CRIME
REPORT
The Director of Campus Safety compiles the information for the Campus
Crime Report and is responsible for its publication. Statistics for
crimes that occurred on or near campus are gathered from the
Department's incident reports and a request is made to the Rindge
Police Department to supply information regarding alcohol, weapons and
drug arrests in the area surrounding campus. The Director of
Residential Life and Judicial Affairs compiles statistics on
disciplinary referrals for drug and alcohol violations, which are
provided to the Director of Campus Safety for inclusion in the report.
It is the practice of the University that all incidents reported to other
offices be reported to Campus Safety for documentation and follow-up.
The annual report is prepared at the close of the academic year,
however statistics reflect activity that occurred during the previous
calendar year.
