Campus Crime Statistics
|
The College strongly encourages any individual who observes or is a victim of any crime to report the matter immediately to the Department of Security, located in Roberts Building. In an emergency, dial ext. 5911 from any campus phone or 207-859-5911 from off campus. This emergency number is restricted for calls of an emergency nature, such as fire, medical emergency, or suspicious or criminal activity. An officer will be dispatched to the scene, where he or she will evaluate the situation, take appropriate action, and contact the appropriate authorities and College officials. For non-emergency or routine business, such as vehicle registration information, lost and found, or lockouts when a roommate, head resident, or custodian cannot be located, call ext. 5530 from any campus phone (207-859-5530 if calling from off campus). Colby security officers conduct vehicle and foot patrols of the Colby campus and are charged with the enforcement of College rules and regulations. Although security officers do not have police authority on the Colby campus, the department maintains a positive working relationship with the Waterville Police Department and other law enforcement agencies throughout the state. Colby officers have direct radio contact with emergency services, including police, fire, and ambulance. Crimes involving violence, major property loss, or a felony are immediately reported to the Waterville police. Violations not requiring the attention of the Waterville police may be referred to the College judicial system. In order to assist the Waterville police in the investigation of specific complaints of criminal activity, Colby permits the police to inspect and copy Colby security incident reports upon receipt of a written request from the police containing a description, by time and subject matter, of the information which is necessary for the police to conduct a criminal investigation.
