Reporting of Safety and Security Incidents

Return To: 2025-2026 Student Handbook   

Preventing campus crime is a shared responsibility between the college and the campus community. Public apathy is a criminal’s greatest ally. Do not assume that someone else has reported criminal activity, or an emergency. Students, faculty and staff are required to immediately report all criminal actions, accidents, injuries, or other emergencies occurring on college property or in college facilities to the Safety and Security Department at the campus of occurrence, or by calling (417) 447-6911 and/or by reporting online: https://students.otc.edu/caresteam/. If you observe a violent criminal act or emergency; call 911 immediately.
