JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY--ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT I. University Overview The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 requires institutions of higher education participating in Title IV HEA programs to publish and distribute an annual security report by Sept. 1, 1992, and every Sept. 1 thereafter containing campus security policies and crime statistics. The Johns Hopkins University is pleased to publish this third annual report as an integral part of the nationwide effort to ensure the security of university and college campuses and the full disclosure of campus crime statistics. The campuses comprising The Johns Hopkins University located within the United States are Homewood, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Peabody Institute, Downtown Center, Columbia Center, Montgomery County Center and Applied Physics Laboratory in the state of Maryland and the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies in the District of Columbia. These eight regional campuses contribute the information contained within this document. The university also has campuses in Nanjing, China, and Bologna, Italy. Hopkins has established university-wide policies regarding the possession and use of firearms, sexual assault, drugs and alcohol, and crime reporting. Additionally, each of its eight campuses follows the general security provisions of the Homewood campus, tailored to meet their individual needs and as specified in this report. Johns Hopkins maintains a university-wide security committee that meets on a regular basis to discuss security policies and issues applicable to the university as a whole. Chaired by the director of Security at Homewood, each of the eight campuses and the Homewood-based School of Continuing Studies are represented. The Homewood, Medical Institutions and Peabody campuses have on-campus resident students and provide security services 24 hours a day by a recognized standing law enforcement unit. The Applied Physics Laboratory has a 24-hour security presence to handle the additional needs of operating as a "prime contractor." The administrative staff of the School of Continuing Studies Downtown and Columbia centers, the university's Montgomery County Center and the School of Advanced International Studies have tailored their security policies to the specific needs of their commuting student population. The university recognizes the crime prevention value to the campus community of the timely reporting of the category crimes of murder, forcible and non-forcible sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and auto theft. To facilitate this reporting, the university encourages students, faculty and staff to report these offenses promptly to their respective campus security officers or departments and/or as in the case of sexual assault to the General Counsel's Office and/or the: Dean, Homewood Student Affairs.......Homewood Exec.

While the details of the offenses reported will be kept confidential if the victim wishes, statistical data will be available for the annual report. Through its security departments in liaison with local police agencies, the university--where applicable--monitors and records criminal activity in which students may be engaged at off-campus facilities under the control of recognized student organizations. Sexual assault programming occurs throughout the academic year and is available to all undergraduate students. In addition to general programming on assault issues, specific programs are conducted for new students, resident students and members of Greek organizations. The student peer service also offers a special sexual assault hotline and peer counseling; the Counseling and Student Development Center, the Student Health Clinic, the Dean of Students Office and the Office of Residential Life all provide support and advocacy to students regarding sexual assault. Johns Hopkins is fully committed to maintaining a safe campus environment. The possession or use of firearms, pellet weapons, knives or other dangerous weapons except under the supervision of authorized university or hospital personnel, is strictly forbidden on university and hospital premises. The possession, use or distribution of illegal drugs as defined by federal, state and local statutes is prohibited at any time on university property. Maryland and District of Columbia laws prohibit the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by persons under the age of 21. The university expects its students and staff to follow the law. Those who violate the law, in addition to being subject to criminal penalties, may be subject to university disciplinary measures. Moreover, the university will not excuse acts of misconduct committed by persons whose judgment is impaired due to alcohol or other substance abuse. II. University Campuses Homewood Campus The 140-acre Homewood campus located in north Baltimore is comprised of the School of Arts and Sciences, the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering and the School of Continuing Studies. Combined enrollment through the schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering totals approximately 3,400 undergraduates, 1,400 graduates and 140 postdoctoral fellows. Approximately 2,000 of these students reside in university housing, over 1,300 of them living in off-campus university dormitories and apartment buildings. Enrollment through the School of Continuing Studies exceeds 4,300. Supporting this student population are approximately 5,700 faculty and staff. Campus Security Authority The Campus Security Department is the recognized law enforcement agency of the Homewood campus. This department has the experience and capability to properly assist victims of crime and investigate reported incidents in cooperation with other campus, city, state and federal agencies. Crimes may be reported by calling on-campus emergency numbers (7777 or 911) or activating any of the 14 campus emergency phones for immediate campus officer response. Officers maintain high-visibility patrols and are accessible to anyone wishing to report a crime. In keeping with its community-based philosophy, the department strives to keep officers on regular posts and encourages fostering a positive rapport with all members of the campus community. The prompt reporting of crime is encouraged. In compliance with the definition of "Campus Security Authority" [34 CFR 668.47(f)], university staff with significant counseling responsibilities are now polled to determine for statistical purposes crimes that may have been reported to them and not the Campus Security Department. The Security Department at Homewood provides a full range of security services to the campus community 24 hours a day. The department functions in concert with the various other service-oriented offices in providing a safe, secure environment in which students, faculty and staff may enjoy rewarding academic and social experiences. Headed by a director, the department has 49 uniformed special police officers commissioned by the state of Maryland with full arrest powers on all university property. These security officers are unarmed, highly trained professionals, most having graduated from accredited law enforcement academies. All officers undergo annual training conducted by local law enforcement agencies, with whom excellent relationships are maintained. Officers also attend on-campus training sessions in cultural diversity, sexual harassment, rape crisis, first aid, environmental health and safety, and hazardous materials. The department has an open door policy and works in partnership with students, faculty and staff toward ensuring a safe campus environment. A close working relationship is maintained with the dean of Homewood Student Affairs, the dean of Students and the directors of Residential Life, Housing, Counseling and Student Development, and Multicultural Student Affairs. There are two administrative staff persons and five full-time dispatchers who operate the department's 24-hour communication center located in Shriver Hall. Part-time employees from the surrounding communities serve as security escort van drivers. During the school year, students are employed as quad monitors, supplemental escort van drivers and escort dispatchers, bringing the total number of security officers and supporting staff to over 150. All members of the department, regardless of job title or position, are held to the same high standard of professional conduct. Members of the security escort van service are also held accountable for the safety and security of their passengers, in keeping with the scope of their employment. Campus authorities and/or local emergency services including Baltimore City police, fire or ambulance can be summoned through the Security dispatcher from any campus phone by dialing 7777. The 7777 number is widely published in campus and university brochures. The universal 911 number may also be used to reach the Security dispatcher from any on-campus phone. Security Policies Campus halls are open during normal business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and at other times to accommodate scheduled classes and activities. Faculty, staff and students may also be granted access to buildings for study, research or other legitimate purpose by the Security Department. Student dormitory quarters are secured at all times and may be entered only by key and/or electronic access card or when escorted by a dormitory resident. Dormitories are equipped with fire and access door alarm systems monitored at the Security Department's Dispatch Center. On-campus dormitories have campus officers on site from dusk until dawn weekdays and 24 hours a day weekends and holidays. Two off-campus undergraduate dormitories have campus officers posted at their front desks 24 hours a day. An additional campus officer patrols the interior common areas and adjacent property of other off-campus university-owned residential buildings. Non-commuting freshmen and sophomores are required to live in on- or off-campus university-owned dormitories. Sophomore members of recognized Greek organizations who choose to live in housing controlled by these student organizations may be exempted from this requirement. The director of Security is the chair of the Homewood Security Advisory Committee, a body of representative students, faculty and staff. This committee meets on a regular basis during the school year to discuss crime problems and concerns and to develop and oversee the implementation of policies designed to ensure a safe campus. Campus Awareness While the Homewood campus and environs are relatively safe, the Security Department is committed to promptly informing the university community of incidents that occur on or near the campus. A well-informed community is better able to protect itself against the occurrence of crime. The campus is informed by: Security Alerts--Red banner fliers posted on bulletin boards in all academic and residence halls and in other conspicuous areas around the campus are widely distributed to alert the community immediately of any violent incidents that occur on or near the campus. The Security Department has a self-imposed policy to distribute Security Alerts within four hours of receiving a report of a crimes against persons on or near campus. Security Bulletins--Blue banner fliers published periodically to relay information of nonviolent crime and/or precautionary measures on how to prevent further occurrences of a particular crime. Security Fax Network (JHU-SFN)--Rapidly transmitting Alerts and FAX bulletins (black banner) to over 115 offices on the Homewood campus, and to the eight other Hopkins campuses, the Homewood Security office serves as a clearing office to receive and distribute reports of violent crime that has occurred on other Hopkins campuses and that may be of concern to student safety and welfare. This information is also published in The Johns Hopkins University Gazette. News-Letter--Within this student-run weekly publication is a section titled "Community Crime Report," a compilation of all crimes reported to the Security Department by way of the Northern District Police that may occur within a one-mile radius of campus. Corresponding crime spot maps are maintained and prominently displayed in the Shriver Security Office. Daily Incident Report--Published every weekday morning by the Security Department, this information is hand delivered to senior members of the administration including the president, provost, vice presidents and deans. It is also faxed to numerous other departmental offices. This publication details crime and incidents reported, as well as services performed by the Security Department over the previous 24-hour period. A copy of this information is posted outside of the Shriver Security Office. While most daily incident reports because of our low crime experience do not reflect matters of concern they do serve to remind students, faculty and staff that reasonable precaution should be part of a daily routine. Sexual Assault Policy In keeping with the university's policy on sexual assault (see Section III), the Security Department and others will, in cases of sexual assault: ù inform victims of their option to notify proper law enforcement authorities, including on-campus and local police, and to be assisted by campus authorities; ù inform victims of the importance of preserving evidence for the proof of a criminal offense; ù notify victims of their option of access to existing counseling, mental health or other student services for victims, on campus and in the community; ù notify victims of their option for and assistance in changing academic and living situations after an alleged incident, if requested by the victim and if reasonably available; ù assist victims as appropriate in exercising the options of their choice.

Throughout the year at the request of a host department, individuals or student groups, the Security Department provides knowledgeable individuals to advise residents, employees and visitors on security and personal safety issues. The Security Department sends a representative to attend meetings of the Student Activities Council's Security and Facilities Committee. These meetings are open for the representatives of the student body and student government to address concerns about the safety and security both on and near the campus. Environmental Improvements through Student/Staff/Security Partnership Guided by its commitment to total quality management the department encourages recommendations from all security personnel, faculty, staff and students on methods to better protect the Hopkins community. Areas where the safety of dormitory or apartment residents can be improved are promptly reported.

APL provides a vast array of scientific energies in numerous disciplines for the U.S. government, mainly the Department of the Navy. Designated as a "prime contractor" operating under the security cognizance of SPAWAR, APL is involved in many task assignments vital to national defense. In addition to defense research, APL maintains strong academic relationships with other divisions of JHU through joint programs, seminars, exchange of lecturers and fellowships. The APL Education Center located on site offers continuing education credits to nearly 1,600 non-APL students. The center offers degrees in electrical engineering, computer science, statistics, applied physics and technical management. The objective of the security group is to assure the safety of the staff, to protect the APL facility property and to instruct and assist staff members in preventing unauthorized disclosure of classified information to individuals who are not properly cleared or who do not have a need-to-know. This is in accordance with DoD 5220.22-M, Industrial Security Manual for Safeguarding Classified Information (attachment to DoD form 441). Whenever unusual security situations develop, which vary from the written established guidance, the security supervisor should be contacted. Knowledge of APL security procedures and adherence to them are an obligation of every staff member. These procedures are set forth in detail in the JHU/APL Security Manual, prepared and issued by the Security Office. The personnel of the Security Office are available to assist any staff member who may be in doubt about how to properly safeguard classified material. The security force is an integral part of the laboratory's overall security program, In addition to their duties of loss prevention, the security force performs daily security inspection to ensure that classified material is properly safeguarded. Reports of irregularities and after-hours security infractions are submitted to the Security Office for corrective action. Other Security Force responsibilities include: ù operating a Lost and Found Station in Security Control; ù enforcing parking regulations; ù assisting motorists to start their cars when requested; ù providing after-hours escort service to the parking lots; ù supervising the use of recreational facilities; ù providing access control for classified meetings; ù escorting cleared as well as uncleared personnel when required; ù providing security and escort protection when classified material is in transit; ù supervising property being hand carried into or out of the laboratory; ù enforcing access requirements and acting as receptionist as required; ù conducting security and safety inspections. Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies The School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, is a small campus of two 60,000 square foot buildings, located in the Dupont Circle area of Washington D.C. The two buildings that comprise SAIS are located at 1619 and 1740 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. on "Embassy Row." The campus consists of the immediate property on which each building stands. SAIS does not have a security force; the maintenance staff responds to minor emergencies, such as the reported presence of an unauthorized person in one of the buildings. The District of Columbia Police Department (telephone number 911) is called for all crimes and other emergencies. Relationships with the D.C. Fire and Police departments are excellent. The Nitze Building at 1740 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. has a maintenance attendant/fire watch on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but the building is open to students only when the library is open for business: Fall and spring semesters Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Summer school Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Friday 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday Closed The Rome Building at 1619 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on normal working days, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays and closed at all other times. However, faculty and full-time staff have access to either building at all times. The maintenance staff is responsible for the upkeep and operations of the two buildings, including but not limited to heating, cooling and cleanliness. Information on criminal incidents on campus is published in a weekly calendar and annually. Information on the university's (and SAIS's) policy regarding the abuse of drugs and alcohol is available through the Admissions Office. Security services offered by SAIS include: - free van service during the fall and spring semesters to transport students to nearby Metro stations and to student living accommodations within one mile of the SAIS buildings. This van "delivery" service is available most evenings from 7 p.m. through to 15 minutes after the library closes. - maintenance staff who escort members to faculty and staff cars in the limited surface or underground parking facilities. - closed circuit cameras and open microphones in all parking facilities monitored by the maintenance attendant. - security presentations by the D.C. Police held at all student "Welcome Aboard" and informational briefing sessions. Faculty and staff receive this same information from the Human Resources Office. Special bulletins are circulated when threatening security matters arise. The entire report is circulated and available. III. University-wide Policies The university's policy on Alcohol and Drug Abuse and a Drug-Free Environment recognizes that alcoholism and drug addiction are illnesses that are not easily resolved by personal effort and may require professional assistance and treatment. Faculty, staff and students with alcohol or other drug problems are encouraged to take advantage of the diagnostic, referral, counseling and preventive services available through the university. Procedures have been developed to assure confidentiality of participation, program files and medical records generated in the course of these services. Substance or alcohol abuse does not excuse faculty, staff or students from neglect of their employment or academic responsibilities. Individuals whose work or academic performance is impaired as the result of the use or abuse of alcohol or other drugs may be required to participate in an appropriate diagnostic evaluation and treatment plan. Further, use of alcohol or other drugs in situations off campus or removed from university activities that in any way impairs work performance is treated as misconduct on campus. Students are prohibited from engaging in unlawful possession, use or distribution of alcohol or other drugs on university property or as a part of university activities. It is the policy of the Johns Hopkins University that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of controlled substances is prohibited on the university's property or as a part of university activities. Individuals who possess, use, manufacture or illegally distribute drugs or controlled dangerous substances are subject to university disciplinary action, as well as possible referral for criminal prosecution. Such disciplinary action of faculty and staff may, in accordance with the university policy on alcohol abuse and maintenance of a drug-free workplace, range from a minimum of a three-day suspension without pay to termination of university employment. Disciplinary action against students may include expulsion from school. (Policy adopted March 1989.) A description of educational programs and assistance offered by the university may be obtained by contacting the offices of: Employees: VP for Human Resources 309 Garland Hall Homewood Campus 3400 N. Charles St. Baltimore, MD 21218 (410) 516-8113 Students: Outreach Services 156 Merryman Hall Homewood Campus 3400 N. Charles St. Baltimore, MD 21218 (410) 516-8396 The Office of Outreach Services provides students comprehensive, proactive programming for the prevention of substance abuse and related health and social problems. A Peer Education Program is also coordinated by this office. The staff is available to assist groups or individuals with programs on alcohol or other drug use/abuse issues, stress management, assertiveness training, and other lifestyle enhancing issues or skills. Sexual Assault Policy The Johns Hopkins University is committed to providing a safe educational and working environment for its faculty, staff and students. The university is particularly concerned about the increase in reports of sexual offenses occurring on the nation's campuses. The university has adopted a policy addressing sexual assaults and offenses involving sexual violence in order to inform faculty, staff and students of their rights in the event they are involved in an assault, and of the services available to victims of such offenses. Members of the university community who are the victims of, or who have knowledge of, a sexual assault occurring on university property, or occurring in the course of a university-sponsored activity, or perpetrated by a member of the university community, are urged to report the incident to campus authorities promptly. Persons who are victims of sexual assault will be advised by Campus Security of their option to file criminal charges with local police of the jurisdiction where the sexual assault occurred. Campus Security and the Office of the General Counsel will provide assistance to a complainant wishing to reach law enforcement authorities. A victim of an assault on university property should immediately notify Campus Security who will arrange for transportation to the nearest hospital. Persons who have been sexually assaulted will be taken to one of the three hospitals in Baltimore City designated as rape treatment centers. They are Mercy Hospital, 301 St. Paul Place (332-9000); University of Maryland Hospital, 22 S. Greene St. (328-8667); and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, 4940 Eastern Avenue (550-0100). These hospitals are equipped with the State Police Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit. The university will provide counseling to any member of the Hopkins community who is a victim of a sexual assault, and also will provide information about other victim services. Students can seek the assistance of counseling through their divisional counseling offices, and members of the faculty and staff can seek assistance through the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program. A student who is a victim of sexual assault may request a transfer to alternative classes or housing if necessary to allay concerns about security. The university will try to accommodate the request if such classes and housing are reasonably available. Persons who are the victims of sexual assault also may pursue internal university disciplinary action against the perpetrator. The university's disciplinary process may be initiated by bringing a complaint of sexual assault to the attention of a dean, department chairman or director, supervisor, divisional personnel office or security office. The university's affirmative action officer also is available to render assistance to any complainant. Allegations of sexual assault will be investigated by the appropriate security offices and any other offices whose assistance may be valuable for gathering evidence. The university reserves the right to independently discipline any member of the student body, staff or faculty who has committed a sexual or other assault whether or not the victim is a member of the university community and whether or not criminal charges are pending. Disciplinary actions against students accused of sexual assaults will be processed by the appropriate student affairs office of the school or campus attended by the accused student in accordance with established disciplinary procedures pertaining to the school in which the student is enrolled. Disciplinary actions against staff members will be governed by the procedures set out in the university's personnel policies. Disciplinary actions against members of the faculty will be processed by the offices of the deans of the appropriate academic division according to the procedures established by that division. Both a complainant and the person accused of a sexual assault will be afforded the same opportunity to have others present during a university disciplinary proceeding. Attorneys, however, will not be permitted to participate personally in university disciplinary proceedings. Both the complainant and the accused will be informed of the resolution of any university disciplinary proceeding arising from a charge that a sexual assault has been committed. The disciplinary measures which may be imposed for a sexual assault will vary according to the severity of the conduct, and may include expulsion of a student from the university and termination of the employment of a member of the staff or faculty.
