Timely Warning
The University of Findlay provides timely warnings to the campus community of any crime(s) that present a serious and/or continuing threat to the safety of students or employees. The campus community will receive notification via email and the institution’s Oiler Alert text messaging system.
ANYONE WITH INFORMATION WARRANTING A TIMELY WARNING SHOULD CONTACT THE SECURITY OFFICE AT 419-434-4799.
Reports of crimes to a Campus Security Authority (Security Office, Student Affairs, and Environmental, Safety, Security and Emergency Management [ESSEM]) will be documented and assessed to determine if a serious and/or continuing threat to the safety of students or employees exists. This determination will be made by the Vice President of Student Affairs in consultation with the Assistant Dean of ESSEM and Director of Security. The Assistant Dean in consultation with the Director of Security will make the determination in the Vice President’s absence.
Timely Warnings contain details of the crime, a description of the suspect if known, whom to contact with information on the crime, and proactive steps to remain safe. Some information may be withheld if providing that information could risk compromising law enforcement efforts. Additionally, the names and other identifying information of victims are confidential and never included in Timely Warning notifications. Systems used to provide this notification are tested quarterly unless used to disseminate a Timely Warning or other emergency information during that quarter. Current Timely Warnings can be viewed on the Safety and Security website under the Crime Alerts link (http://www.findlay.edu/offices/student/safetysecurity/Crime-Alerts).
Current students and employees can view The University of Findlay’s Crisis Response Plan and appropriate measures to take in the event of an emergency on the Safety and Security website under the Crisis Response Plan link (http://www.findlay.edu/offices/student/safetysecurity/Crisis-Response) and logging in with your UF username and password.
