Crime Statistics
Introduction
The safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff have always been paramount at Becker College. As a small college, Becker has an opportunity to provide all members of our college community with a secure environment in which to learn, live and work.
Our residence halls, by their very size and nature, plus the close interaction among students, staff and faculty, provide a unique security support system.
Maintaining a safe environment on both campuses requires the continuing support of all members of the Becker community. We encourage you to read this booklet carefully and to use the information to help foster a safe environment for yourself and others at Becker College.
To the Students
Each year, various state and federal laws are enacted which require colleges to provide information to students. In an effort to comply with the various requirements, we have summarized and consolidated the information in this document.
I also want to take this opportunity to remind you that it is your responsibility to read the Student Handbook. The handbook includes a copy of the Disciplinary Procedure. Click here to view the Student Handbook.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
David J. Bousquet
Campus Police Chief
Mission
The mission of the Campus Police Department is to enhance the quality of life on campus by working cooperatively with the public and within the frameworks of the constitution, to enforce laws, preserve peace, reduce fear, and provide for a safe environment. We have the direct responsibility to ensure a peaceful learning environment and for the effective delivery of a wide variety of police services.
It has become increasingly evident that issues on college campuses are more complex today then they have ever been. Therefore the demand for professional, highly trained, Campus Police Officers has increased. It is the Campus Police who have the sworn duty to directly apply and execute the law, rules, and regulations fairly and objectively for the benefit of the entire college community.
We are committed to providing community-oriented professional police services, protecting constitutional rights, problem solving, teamwork, and continuous improvements to the Becker College community. It is of paramount importance to secure for this department the confidence, respect, and support of the college community. Professionalization of the Campus Police is gaining general recognition, but it can win universal acclaimed and permanent status only if the actions of the Campus Police are reflected in intelligent, sincere, efficient and courteous service.
The Campus Police/Security Department
The Becker College Campus Police/Security Department is staffed by trained and licensed special State Police Officers with full police powers under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 22C, Section 63, and trained security officers. The mission of the department is to provide a safe and secure environment for the college community which supports the educational process and each individual's rights. The organizational structure provides for immediate feedback on crime/safety issues from the student body and the college family. The Campus Police/Security Department is able to improve its delivery of services because of this open-ended communications network.
The Campus Police/Security Department provides coverage seven days a week and 24 hours a day during the academic year. Campus Police Officers reside on the Worcester and Leicester campuses. These police officers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All Area Coordinators and Resident Assistants have their home telephone numbers and pager numbers, making them available to respond to any emergency, night or day.
Campus Police Officers receive their authority from Chapter 22C, Section 63 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Under this chapter and section, Campus Police Officers have special state police powers on land and buildings owned, used, or leased by the institution. These police officers have full police status on campus, with the authority to make arrests. Additionally, the Campus Police/Security Department is required by the college administration to enforce all college rules, regulations, policies, and procedures.
All Campus Police Officers receive training in basic law enforcement from the Massachusetts State Police Training Division and Massachusetts Criminal Justice Training Council. They also receive annual in-service training to keep abreast of current laws and procedures, as well as annual CPR and First Aid/First Responder recertifications. The department works closely with the local police departments on matters of safety and security on both campuses, as well as in the neighborhoods surrounding the two campuses.

Callers are asked to additionally remember to alert the Campus Police to their emergencies as the Campus Police Department may be able to provide a faster response due to their concentrated patrol area.
Informational Programming on Security
Each semester the Campus Police/Security Department conducts individual dorm meetings for resident students and classroom meetings for commuting students and employees titled "Living Safely on Campus." These meetings outline safety procedures, as well as the method by which victims or witnesses of campus crimes may report the circumstances to Campus Police. They also teach students and employees how to become "security conscious" to lessen their chances of becoming victims of crime. Maintaining a safe environment for living and learning requires the full support and cooperation of all members of the Becker community.
Telephone numbers of emergency services both on and off campus, i.e. Campus Police/Security, local police, area hospitals and the Crisis Center Hotline are posted in convenient areas throughout the campus and in all residence halls for the benefit of all students and employees of the college.
Prior to the beginning of the school year, Resident Assistants and Area Coordinators are familiarized with procedures for reporting crimes and incidents that occur on campus. They are instructed to meet with students for whom they are responsible to discuss college policies and rules and the importance of reporting incidents of crime to Campus Police.
Access to Campus
Becker College maintains an open campus environment. During times when classes are in session, people come and go from campus without being required to register with Campus Police/Security. All motor vehicles that are on campus during classes must display a valid college decal or a temporary permit, available at Student Services or the Campus Police Office.
Additional Security Considerations
Additional security considerations that are addressed with resident students include but are not limited to:
- key and electronic key control
- lighting checks
- locking mechanisms
- emergency phones
- fire safety
- exterior doors and windows
- guest access policies
- sidewalks, paths, and shortcuts
- entrance and egress points
- roadways and parking lots
- personal safety
- property storage and security
- vacation building closings
Residence Hall Fire Prevention
Through its own initiative, as well as in compliance with local, state, and federal laws, Becker College has updated a number of its facilities' Fire Prevention systems. By fall of 2004, all college dormitories will be fitted with sprinkler systems, with two thirds of the buildings being completed prior to Fall of 2003. All college buildings also have smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and alarm pull stations. Pull stations in all dormitories as well as smoke and heat detectors in common areas are directly connected to the central alarm system which, in turn, is directly connected to either, the Town of Leicester or City of Worcester Fire Departments depending on campus location) as well as the appropriate Campus Police Department Division. The Becker College Campus Police Department requires monthly fire drill evacutions to be completed throughout the academic year. In addition, the Campus Police Chief has designated officers to conduct safety and security inspections of all college properties to ensure the proper operation of all fire and safety related equipment. Any equipment found to be malfunctioning or inoperative is documented and reported immediately for repair or replacement. Both the Town of Leicester and City of Worcester Fire Departments work closely with the College to further develop and improve the area of fire prevention. The Becker College Campus Police Department takes the issue of fire safety extremely seriously. The College requires complete evacuation of buildings during any alarm event and will discipline/fine students for noncompliance. Just as the Becker College Campus Police Department works to minimize the amount of "false alarms" that occur due to mechanical malfunctions, the department also works to ensure that "false alarms" caused by human error, whether accidental or intentional, are kept to a minimum. The Becker College Campus Police Department provides programs of education to all Residence Hall staff and students. Additionally, the College stresses the accountability of those parties who may be responsible for these false alarms.
What to Do In a Fire
If you discover a fire:
- PULL the nearest fire ALARM pull station.
- YELL "FIRE" as you pull the pull station.
- CALL the Becker College POLICE from a safe location, Ext. 9555 in Worcester or Leicester
If You Hear an Alarm in the Building
Immediately start EVACUATION process.
- NEVER ATTEMPT TO GATHER PERSONAL ITEMS. This can delay your evacuation time and may put you in grave danger.
- If you are able, and without putting yourself in jeopardy, ASSIST individuals who may need aid.
- CLOSE all doors behind you, to contain the fire.
- NEVER PROP OPEN FIRE DOORS. This will prevent safe evacuation in emergencies.
- USE ALL EXIT STAIRWAYS for evacuation. Multiple stairwells and fire escapes are available in each building.
- DO NOT USE ELEVATORS. Most elevators will automatically lock on the bottom floor of the building in a fire and will not respond to the other floors.
- ASSEMBLE OUTSIDE at the predetermined location for your classroom or building.
- NEVER BLOCK ROADWAYS OR ENTRANCES. The Fire Department must have clear unobstructed access at all times.
- DO NOT RE-ENTER THE BUILDING until you are told to by the Fire or Police Department on the scene.
Think Ahead, Plan Ahead
- Know several escape routes from your area of the floor.
- Know the location of the two closest pull stations.
- Know your pre-determined gathering area.
- Know those people who may require aid in an emergency.
Keys
Keys (or electronic keys to our keyless systems) to the outside doors of residence halls and keys to individual rooms are issued to each resident student. They are issued as a security and safety device and should be used at all times. Students who lose their keys must report this fact immediately to the Student Services Office, as the safety of all hall residents may be in jeopardy. A replacement key will be issued with a $25 fee ($150 for a key that opens outside doors) charged for each lost key. When outside door keys are lost, the core will be changed and new keys will be issued to the students of the residence hall. If an outside electronic key is lost its potential to open the door will be canceled. If an inside door key is lost the core will be changed and a new key will be issued.
When the college is closed for short breaks (10 days or less) vacation cores and keys are used in all outside doors. During longer breaks all keys are collected to insure that all lost keys have been reported.
Windows may not be used as an entrance or egress from a building. They may not be used to pass materials in or out of the building. Screens should remain in place at all times. All windows are equipped with standard locking clasps and many have security locks so that the window can only be opened four inches when engaged.
After classes end for the day and all commuting students have left the campuses, the Campus Police/Security monitor entry to the college.
Of course, resident students have access to campus at all times. Guests of resident students must register at the student's dormitory and identify who they are visiting. Guests must be accompanied by the sponsoring resident student at all times.
All guests must leave dormitories by 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and by midnight on Friday and Saturday. Resident students are allowed overnight guests on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights with prior approval by going on line and obtaining a guest pass from the Student Services website. All overnight guests must carry a guest pass at all times while on campus. Also, they must provide proper identification when an appropriate request is made by Campus Police/Security or a college official.
Unregistered overnight guests will be asked to leave campus and will be escorted off college property. They will also be given a trespass notice and, if observed on campus again that day/night, shall be subject to arrest.
Resident students are absolutely responsible for the actions of their guests. A resident may be charged with a violation of campus policy for the actions of a guest, and may be required to pay a monetary fine for damage done by a guest.
Lighting surveys are routinely conducted and new lighting is installed as needed. Shrubbery and natural overgrowth are trimmed routinely, especially near walking trails and pathways. The security of doors and windows is reviewed continuously and locks are replaced when needed. Every effort is made to maximize parking on campus, as well as to monitor the flow of motor vehicle traffic throughout the campus, to better insure the safety of the college's large number of pedestrians.
Residence Hall Closing for College Vacation
All residence halls are closed during official college vacations (Columbus Day break, Thanksgiving break, semester break, spring break and Easter break). All residents must vacate their rooms by 5:00 p.m. on the last day of classes before vacations or at times posted by the Vice President of Enrollment Management. Under special circumstances, the Office of Student Services will make arrangements for those resident students who will experience hardships by this closing. Students should note that the room fees cover the cost of housing only when the college is in session. A minimal additional fee is charged on a per night basis to students in college housing over vacation periods. Student Services must be notified at least one week in advance, in writing, of a student's request to stay on campus during a college break.
The college reserves the right to assign students who need vacation housing to any room in any hall on campus. This room may not be the same one the student occupies while school is in session, as an attempt will be made to move all students on campus to one residence hall. The college waives the room charge for students living over 500 miles from campus when the vacation breaks are under seven days long (Thanksgiving and Easter breaks and Columbus Day weekend).
Students must move all their valuable property when leaving for vacation. The college is not responsible for items lost or stolen from the halls during vacation periods. The college does not carry insurance to cover a student's property. Each student should check his/her family's home insurance plan for coverage information.
Timely Reporting of Criminal Activity
The Becker College community is informed of known criminal activity, whether on or off campus, that may impact on the safety or security of members of the college community. The Chief of Campus Police/Security is responsible for the dissemination of this information through memoranda to all college students and personnel, notices on college bulletin boards and/or by the college computer system.
Information regarding crimes that are committed off campus, but may be relevant to the safety of the campus, is reported to the Worcester and/or Leicester Police Departments. A formal arrangement between the Becker College Campus Police/Security Department and the Worcester and Leicester Police Departments to exchange information regarding known criminal activity of this nature allows for the timely notification of potential danger to the college community. The Campus Police/Security Department also maintains a close working relationship with both the Worcester and Leicester Police Departments.
Student Right To Know and Campus Security Act
Reports on crime statistics that are required by the Student Right To Know and Campus Security Act are available in the Office of the Vice President of Enrollment Management.
Sexual Harassment Policy of Becker College
Sexual Harassment Policy
It is the goal of Becker College to promote an educational environment that is free of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment of employees or students occurring in the workplace or in other settings in which employees or students may find themselves in connection with their employment or education will not be tolerated by the college. Further, any retaliation against an individual who has complained about sexual harassment or retaliation against individuals for cooperating with an investigation of a sexual harassment complaint is similarly unlawful and will not be tolerated. To achieve our goal of providing an environment free from sexual harassment, the conduct that is described in this policy will not be tolerated, and we have provided a procedure by which inappropriate conduct will be dealt with, if encountered by employees or students.
Because Becker College takes allegations of sexual harassment seriously, we will respond promptly to complaints of sexual harassment. Where it is determined that such inappropriate conduct has occurred, we will act promptly to eliminate the conduct and impose such corrective action as is necessary, including disciplinary action where appropriate.
Rape is defined in the general laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 265, Section 22 as follows: "Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person and compels such person to submit by force or against their will or compels such person to submit by threat of bodily injury. If the act occurs while the victim is unconscious, asleep or otherwise unable to communicate unwillingness, it is still considered rape."
A forcible sexual offense is defined under the FBI uniform crime reporting as any sexual act directed against another person forcible and/or against that person's will or not forcible where the victim is incapable of giving consent.
A non-forcible sexual offense is defined under the FBI uniform crime reporting as unlawful, non-forcible sexual intercourse. Indecent assault is defined as attempted or actual unwanted sexual activity such as sexual touching or fondling.
Please note that while this policy sets forth our goal of promoting an environment free of sexual harassment, the policy is not designed nor intended to limit our authority to discipline or take remedial action for conduct which we deem unacceptable, regardless of whether that conduct satisfies the definition of sexual harassment.
College Disciplinary Action
If a student or employee has been sexually assaulted by another student or college community member and is considering using the Campus Judicial System, he or she is encouraged to discuss the matter with the Vice President of Enrollment Management located in the Student Life Offices, or the Director of Human Resources, located in the Business Office. This will allow the student or employee a chance to review campus judicial procedures. This discussion does not oblige the student or employee to pursue action.
Becker strives to provide an environment that is free of violent acts. Violations of Becker's Sexual Assault Policy will result in disciplinary action, which may include removal from the college. In accordance with the requirements of the Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act, in any campus judicial case alleging some form of sexual assault, the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunity to have others present during disciplinary proceedings and both shall be informed of the outcome.
The college will assist victims in every way possible to restore their sense of empowerment and personal safety. This includes, at a minimum, arranging for changes in class schedules and living situations subsequent to an alleged sexual assault to the extent that they are reasonably available.
Criminal Investigation of a Sexual Assault
Contacting Campus Police or a Becker residence hall staff member does not necessarily mean the student or employee must prosecute the assailant(s). Becker has staff trained in dealing with matters of this nature and can provide students or employees with advice and counseling about sexual assault.
The choice belongs to the student or employee. Students and employees are asked to be aware that if they do not choose to press charges, other options are available for reporting the assault and seeking assistance.
The Worcester Police Department's Detective Division Assault Team is the primary investigatory agency for this type of crime. Students and employees are reminded that this is not something they have to go through alone. A friend or support person can be with a student or employee during police interviews.
Hazing
Hazing is intolerable and unacceptable behavior; violators will be suspended or expelled from the college.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts prohibits the practice of hazing. Chapter 269, Sections 17 and 18 of the General Laws is directly quoted below:
SECTION 17: Whoever is principle organizer or participant in the crime of hazing as defined herein shall be punished by a fine of not more than three thousand dollars or by imprisonment in a house of correction for not more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment.
The term "hazing" as used in this section and in Sections 18 and 19, shall mean any conduct or method of initiation into any student organization, whether on public or private property, which willfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person. Such conduct shall include whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the weather, forced consumption of any food, liquor, beverage, drug or other substance, or any other brutal treatment or forced physical activity which is likely to adversely affect the physical health or safety of any such student or other person, or which subjects such student or other person to extreme mental stress, including extended deprivation of sleep or rest or extended isolation.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section to the contrary, consent shall not be available as a defense to any prosecution under this action.
SECTION 18: Whoever knows that another person is the victim of hazing as defined in Section 17 and is at the scene of such crime shall, to the extent that such person can do so without danger or peril to himself or others, report such crime to an appropriate law enforcement official as soon as reasonably practicable. Whoever fails to report such a crime shall be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars.
Alcoholic Beverages/Drugs
The legal drinking age in Massachusetts is 21. Students are considered to be in violation of the Alcoholic Beverage Policy if they are present in a room/common area where alcohol is being consumed. Those students of age have the options of participating in on-campus, over-21, alcohol permit functions or going off-campus to consume alcoholic beverages.
Students who repeatedly violate the college's policy on alcoholic beverages or drug use will be suspended from the college for five days.*
Students who plan or organize a party where alcoholic beverages are served and who bring such beverages on campus will be suspended by the Vice President of Enrollment Management for five days.*
Authorized college personnel reserve the right to confiscate alcoholic beverages found in the residence halls. In addition, authorized personnel reserve the right to enter a student's room and inspect refrigerators if there is just cause to believe alcoholic beverages are being served.
It is college policy to uphold the federal and state laws prohibiting the use, possession, or sale of drugs including marijuana. Use of drugs on or off campus places students in the position of being subject to arrest and to disciplinary action.
*Disciplinary procedures and the appeal process are detailed in the Student Handbook.
Worcester Ordinance on Alcoholic Beverages
"No person shall drink any alcoholic beverages as defined in Chapter 138, Section 1 of the Massachusetts General Laws nor shall have in his possession any open containers whose seal has been broken and recapped of such beverages, while on, in, or upon any public way or sidewalk, or upon any way to which the public have a right of access, or any place to which the members of the public have access as invitees or licensees, park or playground, or private land or place, without the consent of the owner or person in control thereof. The burden of proving such consent shall be on the defendant.
"All alcoholic beverages being used in violation of this ordinance shall be seized and safely held until final adjudication of the charge against the persons so arrested or summoned before the court, at which time they shall be disposed of as directed by the court.
"A Police Officer witnessing a violation of this ordinance shall have the right to arrest such person without a warrant and shall bring the person so arrested before the court within 24 hours, Sundays and holidays excepted."
Town of Leicester By-Law on Alcoholic Beverages
"For the purpose of preserving peace and good order, no person shall have any intoxicating liquor in his possession in any park, dance hall, or other public place in this town, unless, pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 138, a license or permit shall have been issued with respect to such place."
Firearms and Fireworks
Firearms and fireworks are under no circumstances allowed in residence halls or on the college campus. Infractions will result in disciplinary action. Firecrackers and unlicensed firearms are illegal in Massachusetts under the provisions of Statute 148, Sections 35-39, and local ordinance.
Dangerous Weapons
Dangerous weapons such as knives, bows and arrows, etc. are not allowed. Infractions will result in disciplinary action.

It should be noted that an "arrest" has occurred when a law enforcement officer has detained an individual with the intention of seeking charges against the person for a specific offense(s) and a record is made of the detention. For statistical purposes, a student who is confronted for a code of conduct infraction and is referred ONLY to an institutional administrative office for possible sanction has not been "arrested" and that administrative action would be subject to disclosure under the provisions of the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act. Amended October 7, 1998 by President Clinton.
Locations as Defined by the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act:
On Campus: Property within a reasonably contiguous area owned or controlled by the institution.
Residence Halls: On-campus student housing owned or controlled by the institution.
Off Campus: Property controlled by student organizations recognized by the institution, or property owned or controlled by the institution used by students for educational purposes that is not contiguous to the campus.
Public Property: Sidewalks, streets, parking lots or thoroughfares within the contiguous area of the institution or adjacent to a facility owned or controlled by the institution and used for educational purposes.
