Section 1: Campus Security Authority
List campus security authority personnel (definition at KRS 164.948(2)):
Personnel who are campus security authorities are as follows:
- Dean of Academic Affairs
- Dean of Student Affairs
- Dean of Business Affairs
- Division Directors
- Department Chairs
- Campus Coordinators
- Extended Campus Coordinators
- Maintenance and Operations Supervisors
- Bookstore Manager
- Security Officers
While the above list is extensive, ever changing personnel and job descriptions may necessitate modifications throughout the year.
Describe the extent and nature of enforcement authority of campus security authority personnel:
Any and all campus security authority personnel will report and / or document campus crime to the Dean of Business Affairs. They are also empowered to take any necessary action to assure the safety of property and persons. Campus security authority personnel are expected to report all campus crime and assure compliance of the student code of conduct. They are instructed to immediately engage the services of local police and emergency personnel by dialing 9-911 for any incident beyond the expertise of the individual or availability of other campus security personnel.
Describe the working relationship of campus security authority personnel with state and local police agencies:
Madisonville Community College is a rural college with no resident facilities or services. Therefore, it must utilize the services of local police and emergency agencies. The local police regularly patrol the existing and surrounding premises to maintain a presence and to verify a sage and orderly campus. They are responsive to any and all emergency calls from the facility by any occupant. These agencies provide immediate response and / or assistance for any known or perceived incident. Full cooperation is provided to assist local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to investigate crimes or incidents.
Section 2: Description of Information Programs
Describe programs that inform students and employees about:
- Campus safety and security
Campus safety and security is an integral function of the college safety committee. This committee is charged with the duty of maintaining the college safety manual, implementing the necessary training for faculty, staff, and students and conducting appropriate surveys to gain additional input and evaluate the effectiveness of safety and security programs. Information is published and disseminated via campus wide e-mail, flyers, posters, brochures and newsletters. Policies and procedures are also communicated to faculty and staff through regular meetings and orientation sessions. Campus security received the highest gain on the student satisfaction survey for the past year.
- How to report a crime:
The Dean of Business Affairs is charged with the responsibility of maintaining the campus crime log. Crimes may be reported to any campus security personnel or directly to the Dean of Business Affairs. All documentation and incident reports will flow immediately to the Business Dean's office for proper recording and handling.
- How to prevent crimes:
Information, precaution and visibly security measures are major deterrents to campus crime. All three components are communicated and employed on the Madisonville Community College campuses. In addition to the information procedures cited above, security officers have been employed during regular semesters if and when concerns arise. Security stations were installed which allows individuals to summon the officer for assistance or precautionary visibility. Additional lighting has been installed as a result of the student and staff survey analysis. Again, perceived by the students to be the greatest campus improvement.

Sex Offender Notification Information
In compliance with the federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000, KCTCS, through the Kentucky State Police, makes information available to the campus community concerning registered sex offenders who may be employees or students at your college.
The Kentucky State Police provides sex crime offender registration information to the public through the Sex Offender Registry website. In addition, names supplied to the college by the Kentucky State Police may be obtained by contacting Jay Parrent, Dean of Student Affairs.
According to the Kentucky State Police, this website is for public safety and awareness. Pursuant to KRS 525.070 and 525.080, use of information from this website to harass a sex offender is a criminal offense punishable by up to 90 days in the county jail. More severe penalties apply for more severe crimes committed against a sex offender.
HIV/AIDS Prevention Information
KRS 164.351 requires Madisonville Community College to provide information on the transmission and prevention of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) according to the guidelines prepared by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, is not easily transmitted but steps to prevent the spread of the disease can be easily taken. For detailed information on prevention of AIDS, please follow this link to the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/basic/index.htm. If you would like to speak to trained staff about HIV and AIDS you can contact the national AIDS Hotline at 1-800-342-2437.

KCTCS Substance Abuse Policy
KCTCS is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its students, faculty, and staff. KCTCS has defined conduct in relation to the unlawful possession, use, dispensation, distribution, or manufacture of alcohol or illicit drugs. Conduct which is in violation of this definition poses unacceptable risks and disregard for the health, safety, and welfare of members of the KCTCS community and shall result in disciplinary action up to and including suspension or termination.
As a recipient of federal grants and contracts, KCTCS gives this notice to students, faculty, and staff that it is in compliance with, and shall continue to be in compliance with the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989. Students, faculty and staff are herein notified of the standards of conduct which shall be applicable while on KCTCS property, on KCTCS business, and/or at KCTCS sponsored activities.
Training and Counseling Resources
Continuous efforts are made to make students, faculty, and staff aware of the off-campus programs which provide information and professional services on matters related to the abuse of alcohol and drugs.
Other counseling, treatment, and rehabilitation services are available in the communities throughout the state in which KCTCS employees are located. The Career and Academic Planning center on the north campus has some information available to students on community resources that can assist students with these services.
Many other services are available and may be located by looking in the local phone directory yellow pages under "Social Services" or "Alcoholism" or in the "Community Service Guide" section at the front of the telephone directory.
