An officer will respond, intervene if necessary, provide assistance and take a report. If warranted, campus security will contact the Blair police for assistance.

Students and employees may also report a crime on a voluntary, confidential basis by sending a detailed account of the incident to the Security Department through Campus Mail or U.S. Mail. If a crime is substantiated it will be included in the annual crime statistics report.

Dana College pastoral and professional counselors are encouraged to inform persons they are counseling of the proper procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis if deemed appropriate. If substantiated the crime will be included in the statistics of this report
