Annual Security Report

Campus Security/ Cleary Act:

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (originally the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990) is a federal law that requires institutions of higher education in the United States to disclose campus security information including crime statistics for the campus and surrounding areas. It was first enacted by Congress in 1990 and amended in 1992, 1998, 2000 and 2008.

To comply with these regulations, we are providing basic information as follows:

  • Annual Security Report
  • Disclosure of Institution’s Security Policies
  • Reporting of Crime Statistics
  • Encouragement of prompt reporting of crimes
  • All information pertaining to these statistics my be accessed in the financial Aid Office at Austin Kade Academy.

Each year, the financial aid representative for Austin Kade Academy will compile a crime statistics report from the incident and crime reports given to the campus security authorities (Julie Whitehead, Business Director/Security Authority). The crime statistics will be sent to the Department of Education each year upon the receipt of a letter requesting the crime reports. This information will be uploaded to http://surveys.ope.ed.gov/security.

Austin Kade will be required to submit their first annual report by Oct. 1, 2013.

A typed up notice will also be handed out to all enrolled students, which will include the URL to access the Annual Security Report. Copies of this report may also be obtained at the financial aid office or by calling 208-346-7300.

Sex Offenses

Reporting a Sex Offense

It is the policy of Austin Kade Academy to immediately report any sexual offense to the Idaho Falls Police Department, whether committed on or off campus. It is imperative that victims of any kind of sexual offense report the crime to one of the AKA security authorities and/or to the Idaho Falls Police Department. It is also important to preserve any and all evidence (i.e. clothing, objects and any other biological evidence) for the proof of a criminal offense.

When sexual assaults are committed off-campus, persons are encouraged to report to the appropriate law enforcement agency, but a student may elect, instead, to report the sexual assault to one of the campus security authorities. Any assault will be immediately reported to the Idaho Falls Police Department.

THINGS TO DO IF YOU ARE A VICTIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

  1. Tell the first person you see and point out the attacker.
  2. Don’t shower or bathe.
  3. Report ASSAULT to the Police.
  4. Remember all you can about the attacker such as age, height, weight, race, color of eyes-hair-clothes, type of complexion-pants-shirt-shoes.

In accordance to the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000 (CSCPA), which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, the Jeanne Clery Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), the state of Kansas is required to provide information as to the location, enrollment and/or employment of a sex offender at a post-secondary institution to local law enforcement authorities. The law also requires sex offenders already required to register in a State to provide notice to each higher education institution in that State at which the person is employed, carries a vocation, or is a student.

  • Don’t leave valuables visible in your car. Radios, cameras, packages, etc. attract attention and can tempt thieves to break in. Lock all valuables in the trunk.
  • Never leave credit cards, checkbooks, or papers pertaining to the vehicle in the glove box. It could aid the thief in selling your car.
