Prompt and accurate reporting of incidents and/or crimes is vital to insure the issuance of timely warning notices and timely disclosure of crime statistics.

VICTIMS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT SHOULD REVIEW THE COLLEGE’S SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICY FOR THE PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW IF YOU ARE A VICTIM OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.

The Huntingdon College Security Department maintains a formal working relationship with the Montgomery Police Department (334-241-2831) and a professional working relationship with the Montgomery Sherriff’s Department (334-832-4982). In addition, Huntingdon College periodically contracts with the Montgomery Police Department to assist patrolling the campus during special events. While Huntingdon students, staff, faculty, visitors and other constituencies should be aware that crimes can be reported directly to local law enforcement; individuals are strongly encouraged to report first to Campus Security to insure a prompt institutional response.

The Montgomery Police Department responds to emergency calls to 911.

Although the College strongly encourages a victim or witness of a crime to talk to someone, the College provides online (Campus Crime Report Form) and phone options(334-833-4302) for anonymous reporting of crimes for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics.

Although victims and/or witnesses are strongly encouraged to report all incidences to Campus Security, crime reports may be made to Ms. Fran Taylor, Vice President and Dean of Students or Mr. Jay A. Dorman, Senior Vice President for Planning and Administration. All reports will be investigated. Huntingdon College encourages both pastoral and professional counselors, if and when they deem appropriate, to inform the persons they are counseling of procedures for reporting crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in its annual reporting of crime statistics.

When the College receives a report of a crime and/or incident that has the potential to impact the safety and/or security of its constituencies, timely warnings will be issued through the College’s emergency notification system, e-mails, social media or other means as appropriate.

Violations of the law may be referred to the appropriate federal, state and/or city judicial system.

Campus Crime Prevention Act

The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, section 1601g publication 106-386, was put into effect on October 287,2002. This law is intended to guarantee that when a convicted sex offender enrolls or begins employment at a college or university, members of the campus community will have the information that they need to protect themselves.

Specifically, this act amends or extends a number of federal laws; include the Jason Wetterling Act, Megans Law and the Jeanne Clery Act by requiring that;

Sex offenders who are already required to register in a given state provide notice, as required under the state’s law, of each institution of higher education in that state in which that person is a student or at which the person is employed or on a vacation.

State procedures ensure that this registration information is promptly made available to law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction over the area where the institution of higher education is located.

States enter this information into appropriate state ran data systems.

In addition, the Act amends the Family Educational Right and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) by clarifying that nothing FERPA may be construed as prohibiting an educational institution from disclosing information provided to the institution concerning registered sex offenders; and requires the Secretary of Education to take appropriate steps to notify educational institutions that disclosures of this information is permitted.

The Alabama Bureau of Investigation will provide upon request the Huntingdon College Security Department with a list of registered sex offenders who have indicated that they are either enrolled or employed at Huntingdon College. These will be people that are considered adults that have been convicted of a sex offense as determined by law. Namely juveniles and those granted youthful offender status will not be released.

The list will include the following;

Name
Last known address
Race/ Sex
Date of Birth
Date of Registration
Offense
Status (employee/Student)
Campus attending when applicable

Huntingdon College will publish a statement in each annual campus safety/ crime statistics report where the registry may be found. Anyone who has an interest in this list may contact Student Life or Campus Security to obtain this information. Additionally Huntingdon College will publish on the Alabama Bureau of Investigation website where a list of all registered sex offenders in the state of Alabama may also be obtained. (http://dps.alabama.gov/community/w8sexoffendersearch.aspx)

Students or employees who have failed to properly register as a sex offender, will be removed from the College.

There are no student or employee registered sex offenders associated with the College as of the date of this writing.

The Office of Student Life will work in conjunction with the Admissions office to review all student applicants that indicate they have been convicted of a crime. If it is determined that the potential student is a convicted sex offender, verification will be made by the Huntingdon College Security Department. Additionally, the circumstances surrounding the conviction will be reviewed before the person is considered for admission to the College.

The Human Resources Office conducts criminal background checks on all new employees. Questions or comments? Contact the Security Office at 334-324-6565.
