SM调教所

The campus鈥檚 new practice of alerting stakeholders to off-campus incidents can raise questions about the nature, reasoning and terminology of notifications, as evidenced this week. Here is a list of听common emergency definitions and a Q&A with SM调教所 Police Department (SM调教所PD) Chief Doreen Jokerst on alert notification levels, as well as how the university responds to off-campus incidents.听

How does SM调教所 Boulder keep campus stakeholders informed of off-campus incidents?

When a life-threatening incident occurs off campus in heavily student-populated areas, and university police can confirm details with Boulder police, those registered to receive the will get updates from campus as part of SM调教所 Boulder鈥檚 newly expanded alert zones. Typically, the lead agency will alert the community first through its own notification systems.

The expansion encompasses areas near campus that are outside the geography for which the university is required to send emergency notifications as defined by the Clery Act but dense with student populations.听

The expanded alert area, currently in a trial phase, includes the University Hill neighborhood, the Goss Grove neighborhood near Folsom Street and Canyon Boulevard, the Lower Chautauqua neighborhood and the residential area north of Williams Village called Baseline Sub.听听

During an event, the decision to send alerts within the expanded notification boundaries will be made depending on the severity of the incident, as well as the location, distance from campus and student population density. University police will work in partnership with Boulder police to confirm and share details of off-campus incidents, including more comprehensive updates as details become available.
