The Silent Witness Program at McNeese serves as a way from individuals to anonymously report information about on-campus crimes, incidences, suspicious behavior, or security threats to the McNeese Police or another law enforcement agency. This program is not intended for reporting emergencies or currently in-progress crimes, but helps the McNeese Police gain knowledge in a timely manner regarding security or safety matters that could impact the campus community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No personal information is collected with the Silent Witness Program unless it is voluntarily provided by the reporting party. If you would like follow-up contact by the University Police you may include your name, address, phone\/cell information and\/or email address, but this information is not required.<\/strong> If you provide no contact information, then the police department will not be able to respond to your communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Crimes reported through this program are reviewed and investigated by the University Police Officers and Investigators. All information submitted through this program is confidential, as outlined in state law and\/or university policy. The Silent Witness site is not monitored 24 hours-a-day, but is routinely reviewed by police staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need immediate police assistance or are reporting an in-progress crime or need an police officer to immediately respond then call the McNeese Police at 337-562-5711, dial 9-1-1 from any McNeese phone extension, or call 9-1-1 from your cell phone and tell the call taker that you need the McNeese State University Police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To facilitate this program, McNeese has also established a Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) to conduct threat assessments, to review, investigate and respond to all information received under program confidentiality procedures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n McNeese State University expects and encourages students to demonstrate a reasonable concern for their own welfare. This is particularly true in the areas of self-harm and harm to others. Reports that are submitted regarding student or staff behavior or other concerns will be reviewed by a panel of interdisciplinary campus professionals. The panel will make assessments and determine appropriate actions depending on the scope of the information or nature of an incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This program is not<\/strong> designed to report emergencies, or a crime in-progress.
