Student Services areas are staffed from 7:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Fridays during the academic year. (Summer hours may vary.)

Students and/or staff are encouraged to call 911 if they witness an extreme situation that merits immediate attention. The emergency should then be reported to the Student Services office. To report nonemergency incidents, contact staff in the appropriate Student Services office. If the Student Services office is closed, call the local police department.

Victim and Witness Rights Chapter 950, Wisconsin Statutes, the Rights of Victims and Witnesses of Crime, was enacted “to ensure that victims and witnesses of crime are treated with dignity, respect, courtesy and sensitivity; and that the rights extended in this chapter to victims and witnesses of crime are honored and protected by law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and judges in a manner no less vigorous than the protections afforded criminal defendants.” Below is an excerpt of Chapter 950, Wisconsin Statutes, which details the basic bill of rights for victims and witnesses and the additional rights and services provided to child victims and witnesses.

950.04 Basic Bill of Rights for Victims and Witnesses Victims and witnesses of crimes have the following rights:

To be informed by local law enforcement agencies and the district attorney of the final disposition of the case. If the crime charged is a felony or is specified in Chapter 940 or Subchapter 948.02, 948.03 or 948.05, the victim shall be notified whenever the defendant or perpetrator is released from custody. The victim shall be notified of a pardon application by the governor under Statute 57.09(3).
To be notified that a court proceeding for which they have been subpoenaed will not go on as scheduled, in order to save the person an unnecessary trip to court. (2m) To have the court provided with information pertaining to the economic, physical and psychological effect of the crime upon the victim of a felony and have the information considered by the court.
To receive protection from harm and threats of harm arising out of their cooperation with law enforcement and prosecution efforts, and to be provided with information as to the level of protection available.
To be informed of financial assistance and other social services available as a result of being a witness or a victim of a crime, including information on how to apply for the assistance and services.
To be informed of the procedure to be followed in order to apply for and receive any witness fee to which they are entitled.
To be provided, whenever possible, a secure waiting area during court proceedings that does not require them to be close in proximity to defendants and families and friends of defendants.
To have any stolen or personal property expeditiously returned by law enforcement agencies when no longer needed as evidence. If feasible, all such property, except weapons, currency, contraband, property subject to evidentiary analysis and property the ownership of which is disputed, shall be returned to the person within 10 days of being taken.
To be provided with appropriate employer intercession services to ensure that employers of the victims and witnesses will cooperate with the criminal justice process and the juvenile justice process in order to minimize an employee’s loss of pay and other benefits resulting from court appearances.
To be entitled to a speedy disposition of the case in which they are involved as a victim or witness in order to minimize the length of time they must endure the stress of their responsibilities in connection with the matter
To have the family members of all homicide victims afforded all of the rights under Subsections (1) to (4) and (6) to (9) and analogous services under Statute 950.05, whether or not they are witnesses in any criminal proceedings.

Security and Access to Campus Facilities

The College maintains a commitment to campus security and safety. Parking lots, pedestrian walkways and building exteriors are lighted from dusk to dawn. The grounds and landscaping are maintained by the facilities staff with the safety of pedestrians and vehicles as a main consideration.

Campus facilities are open to students, employees, and guests during normal business hours. Because of the College's size and location, a formal policy for identification and admission of visitors has not been necessary; however, students and staff are requested to notify members of local police of any suspicious persons or circumstances.

Statement of Policies Concerning Campus Security

A number of safety/security policies are in effect addressing personal safety as well as building and property security. These policies and procedures include building security, protection of persons and property, emergency procedures—bomb threats and fire crisis action procedures, prohibition of weapons on premises, physical/verbal abuse, controlled substances and student unrest.

The College maintains cooperative working relationships with police departments throughout the Moraine Park District and with other state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Type and Frequency of Programs Designed to Inform Students and Employees About Campus Security Procedures Effective September 1, 1992, crime awareness information will be presented to new students during orientations. Specific topics on security procedures and practices will also be presented to current employees through in-services and/or dissemination of printed materials. New employees will be provided an orientation to campus security at the time of hire.

Description of Programs Designed to Inform Students and Employees About the Prevention of Crime Informative sessions in crime prevention will be offered to students and staff periodically, based on identified needs.

Campus Security Public Law 101-542, also known as the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act, requires that Moraine Park Technical College make public, statistics on reportable crimes.

The law requires that these statistics be collected beginning August 1, 1991, and the information be disseminated to the campus community on a timely basis in a manner that will aid in the prevention of similar occurrences. On September 1 of every year, an annual report on crime statistics and existing policies is to be made available to any applicant for enrollment upon request.

The following is a listing of crimes and their definition that will be subject to reporting:

Murder: the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by another.
Rape: the carnal knowledge of a person forcibly and/or against that person’s will, or not forcibly or against that person’s will where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of his/her temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity; or an attempt to commit rape by force or threat of force.
Robbery: the taking, or attempting to take, of anything of value under confrontational circumstances from the control, custody or care of another person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear of immediate harm.
Aggravated Assault: an unlawful attack by one person upon another wherein the offender uses a weapon or displays it in a threatening manner, or the victim suffers obvious severe or aggravated bodily injury involving apparent broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe laceration or loss of consciousness. Note that an unsuccessful attempt to commit murder would be classified as an aggravated assault.
Burglary (breaking and entering): the unlawful entry into a building or other structure with the intent to commit a felony or a theft. Note that forced entry is not a required element of the offense, so long as the entry is unlawful (constituting a trespass) it may be accomplished via an unlocked door or window. Included are unsuccessful attempts where force is employed, or where a perpetrator is frightened off while entering an unlocked door or climbing through an open window.
Motor Vehicle Theft: the theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle.

In addition to crimes committed, the number of arrests for the following crimes are reported.

Liquor Law Violations: violations of laws or ordinances prohibiting the manufacture, sale, purchase, transportation, possession or use of alcoholic beverages (with the exception of “driving under influence” or “drunkenness”).
