Policies for Reporting Criminal Actions

Distribution of Annual Crime Report

The annual crime report will be prepared and distributed by the AVP of Operations and Development. A copy will be available in the office and on the website. All students will be emailed a copy of the crime report to their university email address.

Crime Reporting

All crimes on campus are to be reported to the AVP of Operations and Development. If necessary, call 911 first.

Access to Campus Facilities

Students are not permitted in BUF buildings and classrooms after regular hours. Anyone requiring access after- hours must notify the Campus Safety Office. Anyone gaining unauthorized access is subject to punishment by BUF as well as criminal charges, if warranted. Any faculty or staff member wishing to grant access to students after hours must notify the AVP of Operations and Development via email mfredryk@buf.edu.

Law Enforcement

Safety personnel will secure buildings and ensure the safety of the campus. Because Campus Safety is not a law enforcement agency, in the event of a crime, Campus Safety will contact local and state law enforcement.

Keeping the University Community Informed

At least once per calendar year, the AVP of Operations and Development will inform all students, faculty, and staff of security procedures and practices and to encourage students and employees to take responsibility for their own security and the security of others.

The AVP of Operations and Development will also provide information to the university community about the prevention of crimes.

Sexual misconduct and sexual crimes are addressed in the Student Handbook.

The possession, use, and sale of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, and drug or alcohol abuse education programs are addressed in the Student Handbook.
