File A Report
A list of reportable concerns is located on the File A Report page in MyCVTC. CVTC uses these reports for documenting various incidents that may pose a harm or threat to CVTC students, staff, and visitors. Reports are routed to identified CVTC personnel for further action.
Security Policy
CVTC considers security to be an important issue and will make every reasonable effort to provide a safe and secure learning and working environment. The protection of students, employees, visitors and College property will follow established procedures.
• ReportingofCriminalActionsCommunitymembers,students,employees,andvisitors are encouraged to report all crimes, actual or perceived as criminal, and public safety incidents to CVTC Public Safety Office and/or local law enforcement agency in a timely manner. CVTC Public Safety Officers are not sworn law enforcement officers and do not have arrest powers so any criminal incidents are referred to the local law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction on the campus.
Any student involved in perpetrating a reported crime occurring on campus property, is subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the College. Crimes and other emergencies should be accurately and promptly reported to the Department of Public Safety or the appropriate local law enforcement agency, when the victim of a crime elects to, or is unable to, make such a report.
