Timely Warning to the College Community


Return To: 2022-2023 Student Handbook   

The Clery Act requires institutions to provide timely warnings to the college community about reported crimes that may pose a serious or continuing threat.

The OTC Safety and Security Department, in conjunction with various college administrators, will distribute timely warning announcements when the department deems an incident to be a serious or continuing threat to the college community to aid in the prevention of similar crimes.

Timely warnings are considered a preventative and educational measure as they make the college community aware of potential dangers to themselves or their property.  Timely warnings may also request information that could lead to arrest and conviction of an offender.

Timely warnings will be sent via the OTC Emergency Alert System, college-wide phone notifications and electronic mail directly to all students, faculty and staff on the affected OTC campus, center or to all OTC locations.  Timely warnings may be sent via the official OTC website, social media, press releases, posted material, or making reports available to the college community and media through the OTC website, newspapers, radio and television news stations.
