The Public Safety Department provides policing services to each of the System’s five campuses (North Harris, Kingwood, Tomball, Montgomery and Cy-Fair), The University Center, System Services and Training Center, and six centers (Carver, Conroe, East Montgomery County Improvement District, Fairbanks, Greenspoint, and Willow Chase).The LSCS Department of Public Safety is a full-service law enforcement agency, certified by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Education. The range of police services provided includes crime prevention activities, escorts, motorist assists, medical assists, crime reporting, criminal investigations, traffic direction, accident investigations, and safety information and education. The department employs both commissioned police officers and non-commissioned security guards. LSCS police officers have law enforcement authority on property owned and controlled by the System. This includes the authority to arrest, investigate, and file charges when a crime may have been committed. Police officers patrol in marked police vehicles, bicycles, golf carts, and on foot. The LSCS Public Safety Department maintains cooperative working relationships with the area police, constables’ and sheriffs' departments to enhance crime prevention efforts and ensure that local law enforcement resources are available to the campus community.Our non-commissioned security guards are civilian employees that support the police by providing extra security watch, and who deal with non-police calls for service, allowing the police officers to concentrate on proactive patrol of the college.Crime or safety questions and concerns may be presented to any of the police officers or security guards patrolling the campuses. These public safety professionals will either provide the information needed, or will provide direction to someone to help resolve the issue.LSCS police units maintain a campus chronological daily record of each crime reported to the police at each location. This record includes such details of reported crimes as the date, time, nature, general location, and disposition of the complaint. These records are available to the public within two business days of the initial report unless disclosure is prohibited by law, would jeopardize the safety of an individual, compromise an ongoing investigation, would cause evidence to be destroyed, or cause a suspect to flee.Police Emergency Communication Center The Lone Star College System Police Emergency Communications Center began operating October 13, 2008. The center, located in the HARC Building at the System Office complex, provides a communication link between students, faculty, staff and visitors at LSCS locations to LSCS Police personnel. The center is also the life line for public safety personnel to obtain emergency services and to obtain immediate information as needed to perform their duties.The center provides an answering service and dispatch service for requests for police/emergency services. The center can be contacted from a campus phone at x5911 (281-290-5911) to report an emergency or at x6800 (832-813-6800) for policing services of non-emergency nature. In the event of network failure resulting in the Cisco telephones not working, the center also answers an emergency analog telephone line (832-813-0712). Therefore, if campus phones do not work, campus police can still be contacted by using cell phones or off campus phones.The Police Emergency Communication Center can also be contacted immediately by picking up a “Police Emergency” phone located in some campus classrooms and elevators. The center can also be contacted by email at dispatchpolice@lonestar.edu. The Police Emergency Communications Center Dispatchers attended training to meet the required certification by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education as Telecommunications Operators. The Dispatchers are trained in State and National Law Enforcement Information and Telecommunications Systems, the Harris County Justice Information Management System, CPR/First Aid, the CrimeStar Report Management System, and in CrimeStar Computer Aided Dispatch software. They are required to answer and monitor multiple telephone lines, including the 5911 emergency telephone lines, and operate a two-way radio to dispatch and monitor officers. They receive calls for service, both emergency and non-emergency, determine the nature and priority of the call received and dispatch the appropriate officer(s) to address the situation. At any given time, the dispatcher must be able to handle phone calls, transmit over the radio, know where all officers are located, and record detailed information in the computer aided dispatch system.LSCS Policies on Student Misconduct & DisciplineStudents and registered student organizations are subject to disciplinary action according to the provisions of the Code of Student Conduct, described in the LSCS Catalog. The System may enforce its own disciplinary policies and procedures when the conduct of a student or a registered student organization directly, seriously, or adversely impairs, interferes with, or disrupts the overall mission, programs, or other functions of the System or its colleges.Reporting Safety Issues and Criminal OffensesStudents, faculty, staff, and visitors are encouraged to report any crimes or campus safety issues to the campus police office or to individual police officers. Information may be reported anonymously and such anonymous reports will be investigated and included in the annual statistical report. Timely Warning PolicyEach campus and the System Office have a procedure to provide timely warning to its employees and students of specific crimes that are subject to Clery reporting and/or which represent a threat to students and employees. A “Community Crime Alert” warning will be issued through the Campus email system to students, faculty and staff.right381000Safety Programs and Services Crime Prevention Programs:The Police Department provides programs on rape, sexual assault, personal safety, alcohol/drug awareness, DWI, burglary/theft prevention and harassment upon request.Safety Lighting:Safety lighting has been placed throughout the campuses. The location of inoperable lights should be reported to the college's maintenance office or police office.Counseling Center:The Counseling Center at each college can assist persons who are victims of rape or sexual assault with referrals to agencies established to assist in such times of crisis.Alcoholic Beverages, Drugs and WeaponsThe LSCS policing units deed it important to the well being of the campus community to curtail the abuse and/or illegal use or possession of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs and weapons.AlcoholThe college community and visitors are required to comply with federal, state, and local laws regarding the distribution, possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages.Illegal DrugsThe use, sale, distribution, possession of any drug, including prescription medication (in a manner in which it was not intended) is strictly prohibited on any campus property. Violations may result in criminal charges and/or disciplinary procedures.WeaponsIt is a felony to intentionally, knowingly or recklessly possess a firearm, illegal knife or prohibited weapon (with or without a concealed handgun permit) on the physical premises of a school or educational institution.Registered Sex Offender NotificationsThe Texas Code of Criminal Procedure 62.03 (h) requires each person who has been convicted of specific sexual offenses and who intends to attend classes at an institution of higher education to register with the campus police department within 7 days of class registration. LSCS Board Policy CED establishes procedures for reviewing the petitions of individuals who are registered as Sex Offenders as designated by the Texas Legislature, and to make recommendations regarding the attendance options for those individuals at a LSCS location or site.Registered sex offenders who are approved to work, volunteer or enroll in classes at LSCS are listed each semester on the LSCS Campus Safety web site.Crime StatisticsThe LSCS Public Safety Department prepares this report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The report is prepared in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies, the student discipline process at each campus and the policing units at each campus.The “On-Campus” statistics include crimes or incidents that occurred on the main or core part of a campus. The “Off-Site Property” statistics include crimes or incidents that occurred at Centers or on off campus properties used by LSCS. The “Public Properties” statistics include crimes or incidents that occurred on public property, including streets and sidewalks, that are immediately adjacent to and accessible from the LSCS properties.Hate CrimesPrior to 2008, hate crimes were reported but only if it involved the Clery reportable crimes of homicide, certain sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft and arson. On August 14, 2008, the Clery Act was amended to include larceny, simple assault, intimidation and destruction/damage//vandalism as reportable categories of hate crimes.
