6 Timely Warnings A Timely Warning is an alert that is issued to the entire campus community whenever a crime covered by the Clery Act poses a serious or continuing threat to the students, employees, or visitors to any University of Nevada, Reno locations. Timely warnings are issued without delay as soon as enough pertinent information is available and extends to all University properties covered by the Clery Act. PROCEDURE Any Clery Act crime or situation which may present a potential threat to the campus community is communicated to the campus community as soon as possible. Reporting is to include campus buildings and facilities, non-campus buildings, property, and public property within or immediately adjacent to, and accessible from, the main campus. Properties may include buildings and/or property owned or controlled by student organizations that are officially recognized by the institutions or any building or property owned or controlled by the institution and used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution's educational purposes. Reporting requirements include properties which are frequently used by students which may or may not be within contiguous geographic proximity to the main campus. The Assistant Vice President & Director of University Police Services or his/her designee may make the final determination of when a timely warning will be issued and disseminated, on a case by case basis. When a timely warning is issued, it is the responsibility of the Assistant Vice President & Director of University Police Services or in his absence by the on scene supervisor, to cause immediate notification to the representatives of the University President's Office, Vice President of Administration and Finance, the Student Services office, and Dispatch. Determining whether to issue a timely warning will be evaluated on a case-by-case, taking into account both the frequency of the offense and the likelihood of additional occurrence.
