REPORTING A CRIME

The general public can attend and are encouraged to attend continuing education, cultural, and recreational events on campus, with access limited to the facilities in which events are held.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
In the event a member of the campus community becomes the victim of a crime, he / she should report the incident as prescribed in the above paragraphs.
ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE
Members of the campus community are provided with a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program Handbook, which contains policies and procedures applicable to alcohol and drug usage. Information regarding this subject is also available in the 火博体育官网 Student Handbook and can be accessed on the web page
SEXUAL ASSAULT - Click here to report
College officials will not tolerate sexual assault activities of any type, either by staff or students, and will take any and all steps to support the criminal prosecution of persons involved in these types of activities. However, should an incident of sexual assault occur on campus, these procedures should be followed:
- Immediately notify Campus Safety. The Chief of Campus Safety will then notify the proper law enforcement agency. If Campus Safety cannot be reached for any reason, call 911 for immediate response by law enforcement officials. Do not disturb the scene of the crime. Evidence is very fragile and will be collected by trained evidence technicians. Do not change clothing, shower, or bathe following a sexual attack. Valuable evidence can be collected, and its integrity must be maintained. The Chief of Campus Safety will notify the appropriate members of the New Mexico Junior College administration. The administration at 火博体育官网 wants to maintain a safe campus environment and is concerned about the welfare of all members of the campus community. 火博体育官网 has an established policy concerning sexual harassment covering all employees and students. The policy can be found in both the Employee Handbook and the 火博体育官网 Student Handbook. The handbooks outline the procedures that students and employees should follow should they become the victim of a sexual assault or harassment situation.
- The administration of 火博体育官网 will make every reasonable effort to accommodate a change in academic or living arrangements, if requested by the victim. Both the accuser and the accused are afforded the opportunity to due process whether the incident is handled through the court system or through the campus administrative process. Both parties are entitled to have other individuals present during a proceeding. The parties will be notified of the administration’s final determination and imposed sanctions.
- Should a member of the college community become a victim of a sexual assault, every resource will be utilized to insure that the victim receives immediate attention, as well as follow-up counseling and assistance. In Hobbs, counseling can be received through the Guidance Center of Lea County, 920 West Broadway, (575) 393-3168 and through Covenant Health Hobbs Hospital, 4900 N. Lovington Highway, (575) 492-5000.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
火博体育官网 has an emergency management plan for critical incidents. This plan is intended to highlight potential areas of risk or vulnerability to campus personnel and facilities. The purpose of the plan is to enable all persons who might be present at 火博体育官网 during an emergency to remain calm and aid them in taking action based on known facts. New Mexico Junior College has made the commitment to identify potential building and equipment areas at risk, to analyze those risks, to eliminate or minimize these risks, to actively plan and prepare to respond to emergencies by training response teams, and to prepare restoration of vital services plans for an emergency.
