Student Handbook: Sex Offender Registry and Campus Crime and Security

Sex Offender Registry

Incarceration may remove a sex offender from the streets, but it does nothing to prevent the offender from committing another crime when released. CCC supports The Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, enacted October 28, 2000, which went into effect in 2002. The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders, already required to register in a state, to provide notice to each institution of higher education in that state in which the person is employed, carries on a vocation or is a student.

The State of Kansas maintains a system for making certain registry information on sex offenders publicly available by means of the Internet. 

Campus Crime and Security

Coffeyville Community College strives to provide a safe and secure environment for its campus community members. Each year, CCC publishes an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report which discusses topics such as crime prevention, to whom crime reports should be filed, resources for victims of crimes, emergency procedures, and other matters of importance related to security and safety at CCC. The report also contains statistics for specific crimes reported to have occurred on certain property owned or controlled by the College over the past three calendar years. This report is available on the CCC website. If you would like to receive a hard copy of the report at no charge, you may do so by making a request to the Vice President for Operations and Finance at 620-252-7177, [email protected] or the Business Office located on the second floor of the Student Union.

Students are strongly encouraged to report all crimes and suspicious activity to a College Vice President, Dean or a Residence Hall Director, faculty/staff member or the switchboard operator immediately.
