College Origins
In September 1962, the Olympia School District founded the current college as Olympia
Vocational Technical Institute (OVTI) in the Montgomery Ward Building in downtown Olympia.
OVTI was the formalization of the adult education offerings the school district began offering in
1957 out of Olympia High School.
In 1967, with the passage of the Community College Act, OVTI joined the state community
college system, merging into District 12 with the long-established Centralia College. The district
purchased the land that is now the present day Olympia campus on Mottman Road in 1971.
The first permanent building, the College Center, was completed in spring 1976. That same year,
OVTI became Olympia Technical Community College (OTCC) and had the unique distinction of
being the only community college in the state devoted entirely to technical education.
In 1980, the Board of Trustees called for the addition of an academic transfer program. In 1982,
the college awarded its first Associate of Arts degree. That same year, the college added 31 more
acres of land to the campus.
In 1984, in recognition of its growth and the broadening of its mission, the college name was
changed one last time, to South Puget Sound Community College.
In 1988, under House Bill 1361, SPSCC formed its own autonomous district. The new district,
number 24, encompassed all of Thurston County, except the Rochester and Tenino school
districts and the Thurston County portion of the Centralia School District.
In the fall 1995, the college opened a satellite center in Hawks Prairie Village Mall in Lacey as
the Hawks Prairie Center. Today, more than 7,000 students each quarter seek education at South
Puget Sound Community College.
Campus Setting
Nestled on 101 acres of lush woods, our tranquil campus is one of the most beautiful in the
nation. We welcome all students from the Thurston County area and from around the world to
visit our campus and join our learning community.

REPORTING PROCEDURES
General Procedures for Reporting a Crime or Emergency
Community members (students, faculty, staff, and guests) are encouraged to report all crimes and safety-
related incidents to Campus Security in a timely manner.
To report a crime or an emergency on the campus, call 911 first and then call Campus Security at
extension 5299 or, from outside the College phone system, (360) 596-5299. To report a non-emergency
security or safety-related matter, call Campus Security at extension 5299 or, from outside the College
phone system, (360) 596-5299.
This publication provides information about on and off-campus resources and made available to all
SPSCC community members. Some listed resources are not designated crime reporting entities and
actual crimes should be reported to the SPSCC Campus Security Department. This aids in providing
timely warning notices to the community and ensures inclusion in the annual crime statistics. For
example, a crime that was reported only to the Thurston County Crisis Clinic would not be included in the
SPSCC crime statistics. SPSCC Campus Security sends a request each year to local law enforcement
authorities asking them to provide crime logs for our geographic area for inclusion in the annual
disclosure of crime statistics, when they deem it appropriate.
Notification to the SPSCC Community about Reported Crimes
These procedures outline how our institution will use emergency notification procedures to notify the
campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an
immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees. In the event of a serious incident which
may pose an on-going threat to members of the college community, a timely warning is issued as soon as
pertinent information is available. An alert is sent to all on current registered users via e2Campus. The
Supervisor of Safety and Security or a designee generates the alerts and situation dependent alert
notifications may also be sent out using the AlertUS system. Updates to the college community about any
particular case resulting in a timely warning may be distributed via email or may be posted on the
College’s website.
Crime Alerts are usually distributed for the following Uniformed Crime Reporting Program
(UCR)/National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) classifications: arson, criminal homicide, and
3
robbery. Cases of aggravated assault and sex offenses are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending
on the facts of the case and the information known by Campus Administrators. For example, if an assault
occurs between two students who have a disagreement, there may be no on-going threat to other SPSCC
community members and a Crime Alert would not be distributed. Campus Administrators will review
reports to determine if there is an on-going threat to the community and determine if the threat requires
distribution of a Crime Alert. Crime Alerts may also be posted for other crime classifications, as deemed
necessary.
A daily crime log is available for review at the SPSCC Campus Security Office at Building 25, Room
117, from 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The information in the crime
log typically includes the case number, classification, date reported, date occurred, time occurred, general
location, and disposition of each crime.
Statistical Disclosure of Reported Incidents
Incidents reported to SPSCC Campus Security that fall into one of the required reporting classifications
will be disclosed as a statistic in this annual brochure.
Reporting Methods Available on Campus
For any emergency requiring police, fire, or medical aid dial 911. As soon as possible please call Campus
Security at extension 5299 on any campus phone, or 360-596-5299 from an outside line. Campus Security
should be contacted for all incidents occurring on campus. Campus Security officers may receive your
calls directly via cell phone while on patrol. They will meet you anywhere on campus. The Campus
Security office is located in the lower level of building 25, room 117.
Reporting a Crime to the Lacey, Olympia, or Tumwater Police Department
Any community member reporting a crime to Campus Security has the right to report the crime to the
Police Department. Security Officers provide this option and will assist the victim with that process. The
number to central dispatch for all jurisdictions is 360-704-2740.
Off-Campus Crimes
If the responding Police agency is contacted about criminal activity occurring off-campus involving
students, they may notify SPSCC Campus Security. However, there is no official policy requiring such
notification.
4
Confidential Reporting Procedures
If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the college system or the criminal
justice system, you may still consider making a confidential report. Personally identifying information
contained in confidential reports are exempt from public record requests. With your permission, a
Campus Security Officer can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing your identity.
The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while
taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others. This helps the College determine where
there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or assailant and can alert the
campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the
annual crime statistics for the institution.
Access to Campus Facilities at South Puget Sound Community College
South Puget Sound Community College is a public institution and open to the public, even though part of
the property is surrounded by a fence. The Mottman Road and Crosby entrances are accessible 24 hours a
day. Instructional and administrative buildings on campus are generally open for use from 7:00 a.m. to
11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. On weekends only the buildings scheduled for use will open and all
other buildings remain secure with alarm systems armed.
Maintenance of Campus Facilities
Facilities and landscaping are maintained in a manner that works to minimizes hazardous conditions.
Campus Security regularly patrols both campus locations and reports malfunctioning lights and other
areas of concern. Other members of the College community assist when they report equipment problems
or malfunctions to Facilities through the Megamations work request system.

CRIME
STATISTICS
The information below provides context for crime statistics reported as part of compliance with the
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act).
The procedures for preparing the annual disclosure of crime statistics include reporting statistics to the
College community obtained from the following sources: SPSCC Campus Security, the City of Lacey
Police Department, the Olympia Police Department, the Tumwater Police Department, and the Thurston
County Sherriff’s Office. For statistical purposes, crime statistics reported to any of these sources are
recorded in the calendar year the crime was reported. Any incidents reported by Campus Security
Authorities (as defined by federal law) will also be included in the Annual Security Report. All of the
statistics are gathered, compiled, and reported to the College community via the Annual Security Report.
SPSCC Campus Security submits the annual crime statistics published in this brochure to the Department
of Education. The statistical information gathered by the Department of Education is available to the
public through their website.
Specific Information about Classifying Crime Statistics
The statistics in this brochure are published in accordance with the standards and guidelines used by the
FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook and the relevant federal law (the Clery Act/HEOA). The
number of victims involved in a particular incident is indicated in the statistics column for the following
crime classifications: Murder/Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter, Forcible and Non-
Forcible Sex Offenses, and Aggravated Assault. For example, if an aggravated assault occurs and there
are three victims, this would be counted as three aggravated assaults in the crime statistics chart.
The number reflected in the statistics for the following crime categories includes one offense per distinct
operation: Robbery, Burglary, Larceny, Vandalism, and Arson. For example, if five students are walking
across campus together and they are robbed, this would count as one instance of robbery in the crime
statistics chart.
In cases of Motor Vehicle Theft, each vehicle stolen is counted as a statistic. In cases involving Liquor
Law, Drug Law, and Illegal Weapons violations, each person arrested is indicated in the arrest statistics.
6
The statistics captured under the “Referred for Disciplinary Action” section for Liquor Law, Drug Law,
and Illegal Weapons violations indicates the number of people the Vice-President of Student Services
representative referred for disciplinary action for violations of those specific laws. A “found responsible”
designation includes referrals that result in a student charged by the college where a record of the action is
kept on file.
In addition to the crime statistics that are traditionally tracked and reported, the Department of Education
requests that additional statistics included in this Annual Security Report correspond to the Violence
Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. Reported events in the categories of domestic violence,
sexual assault, and stalking are included this year, and will be reported annually.
The statistics in the Hate Crime charts are separated by category of prejudice. The numbers for most of
the specific crime categories are part of the overall statistics reported for each year. The only exceptions
to this include the addition of Simple Assault, Intimidation, and any other crime that involves bodily
injury that is not already included in the required reporting categories. If a hate crime occurs where there
is an incident involving Intimidation, Vandalism, Larceny, Simple Assault or other bodily injury, the law
requires that the statistic be reported as a hate crime even though there is no requirement to report the
crime classification in any other area of the compliance document.
Note: A hate or bias related crime is not a separate, distinct crime, but is the commission of a
criminal offense which was motivated by the offender’s bias. For example, a subject assaults a
victim, which is a crime. If the facts of the case indicate that the offender was motivated to commit
the offense because of his/her bias against the victim’s race, sexual orientation, etc., the assault is
then also classified as a hate crime.

Statistics Reported by SPSCC
The column “On-Campus (ONC)” includes crime statistics from incidents that were reported to Campus
Security. If an incident was reported to both Campus Security and the Police, the statistics would be
counted under the “On-Campus (ONC)” column. The crime statistics provided by the Lacey, Olympia
and Tumwater Police are provided based on the crime definitions in the Revised Codes of Washington.
Crime statistics for the categories of Minor Assault, Larceny and Vandalism are not required by law, but
are still provided in the interest of informing the community about the most frequent crimes that occur at
SPSCC. Campus Security requests yearly statistics from local Police departments and compiles any
reports from Campus Security Authorities.
Statistics under the heading of “Referred for Disciplinary Action” include those individuals referred for
student conduct action through the Office of Student Services. The numbers include incidents reported via
Campus Security incident reports and those reports provided directly to the Vice president of Student
Services from other members of the SPSCC community.
Sex Offender Registry
The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act was enacted on October 28, 2000. The law requires
institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law
enforcement agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained.
It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a state to provide notice, as required under
state law, of each institution of higher education in that state at which the person is employed, carries on a
vocation, or is a student.
In the State of Washington (Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 9A.44.130) any adult or juvenile
residing whether or not the person has a fixed residence, or who is a student, is employed, or carries on a
vocation in this state who has been found to have committed or has been convicted of any sex offense or
kidnapping offense, or who has been found not guilty by reason of insanity under chapter 10.77 (RCW) of
committing any sex offense or kidnapping offense, shall register with the county sheriff for the county of
the person's residence, or if the person is not a resident of Washington, the county of the person's school,
or place of employment or vocation, or as otherwise specified in this section. Where a person required to
register under this section is in custody of the state Department of Corrections, the state Department of
Social and Health Services, a local division of youth services, or a local jail or juvenile detention facility
10
as a result of a sex offense or kidnapping offense, the person shall also register at the time of release from
custody with an official designated by the agency that has jurisdiction over the person. In addition, any
such adult or juvenile who is admitted to a public or private institution of higher education shall, within
ten days of enrolling or by the first business day after arriving at the institution, whichever is earlier,
notify the Sheriff of the county of the person's residence of the person's intent to attend the institution.
The sheriff shall notify the institution's department of Campus Security and shall provide that department
with the person's: name; address; date and place of birth; place of employment; crime for which
convicted; date and place of conviction; aliases used; social security number; photograph; and
fingerprints.
In the State of Washington, RCW 9A.44.138 requires that information about registered sex offender
students (Level II), shall be provided to every teacher of the student and to any other personnel who
supervises the student or for security purposes should be aware of the student’s record. SPSCC’s
guidelines on sex offender notification for offenders in the Level III status require that the same
requirements but include public posting in the student’s program building and on information bulletin
boards. In certain Level III offender cases, the Campus Security Director in consultation with the Vice
President for Student Services can determine if additional public notification is necessary. In these
instances, a college alert may be used.
The SPSCC community may conduct their own sex offender searches at the links below:

Emergency Response and Notification
The SPSCC Emergency Response Plan includes information designed to provide guidance to the campus
community. Upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate
threat to the health and safety of students or employees occurring on the campus, SPSCC will determine
and employ communication methods appropriate to the situation to notify the affected campus
community. An emergency notification may include information about the type of incident, location, and
instructions on possible actions to consider. Certain buildings on campus have volunteers identified as
Evacuation Coordinators. These volunteers may assist building occupants in response to emergency
situations and aid in evacuation. Custodial, Facilities, and Campus Security personnel make up the
campus wide Emergency Response Team. They may respond to buildings or parts of campus during an
emergency to direct first responders and coordinate the College’s response. College departments are
responsible for developing contingency plans and continuity of operations plans for their staff and areas
of responsibility.
The College conducts tests of the emergency notification systems on campus each year. Additionally one
drill per quarter is scheduled. These tests are designed to assess and evaluate the emergency plans and
capabilities of the institution. SPSCC Campus Security Officers receive training in Incident Command
and will assist the Incident Commander during emergencies on campus. General information about the
emergency response and evacuation procedures for SPSCC are publicized each year as part of the
institution’s Clery Act compliance efforts, and that information is available on the SPSCC Campus
Security website at:
https://spscc.edu/sites/default/files/imce/campus-life/security/Emergency-Response-Guide.pdf
SPSCC community members are encouraged to notify Campus Security of any situation on campus that
constitutes an emergency or dangerous situation which poses an immediate or ongoing threat to the health
and safety of students and/or employees on campus. Campus Security has the responsibility of responding
to, and summoning the necessary resources, to mitigate, investigate, and document any situation that may
cause a significant emergency or dangerous situation.
12
Emergency Procedures
Evacuation drills are coordinated by Campus Security during each academic school year. These drills
provide education and information on the locations of nearest the emergency exits and guidance about
building evacuation or sheltering in place. Evacuation Area maps are posted inside campus building and
direct occupants to nearby assembly areas. Evacuation drills and materials prepare building occupants for
an organized evacuation in case of a fire or other emergency. During the drill, occupants can familiarize
themselves with the location of exits and the sounds of the fire alarm. The process also provides the
College an opportunity to test the operation of fire alarm system components.
Students receive information about evacuation and shelter-in-place procedures during the first week of
fall quarter. SPSCC will publish a summary of its emergency response and evacuation procedures in
conjunction with at least one drill or exercise each calendar year.
Information
The college website provides an opportunity to sign up for campus alerts through e2campus:
https://www.e2campus.net/my/spscc/
On the SPSCC main Campus, Campus Security provides a courtesy transport service for community
members who request assistance. This service is offered during the academic school hours. This service
can be requested by calling (360) 596-5299 or extension 5299 from an on-campus telephone.
An Officer will meet the person and escort them to their vehicle or next class.

Important Campus and Community Services
Resources for Support and Assistance:
The SPSCC Counseling Center, located in the Center for Student Success (Building 22 Room 260) on the
Mottman campus, provides counselors registered in the state of Washington to provide short-term
personal and mental health counseling services. When students have issues or concerns that require long-
term counseling, counselors assist students with initial referrals to community resources and may also
consult with community agencies. Brochures listing community resources are available in the Counseling
Center.
The Counseling Center is open
M-F 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and can be reached at (360) 596-5261 or by email at

Prevention Programs
The Campus Security team upon request will conduct crime prevention and general security and safety
awareness presentations to various community groups, including students and employees of the College.
The following information is available: crime prevention and security awareness, fire safety, emergency
response and evacuation procedures, and sexual assault prevention. The Security Department
communicates with students and staff regularly on safety and security issues.
SPSCC faculty are asked to show basic videos on emergency preparedness and Active Shooter to all
students during the first week of fall quarter. The videos provide information on steps to consider in
preparation for an emergency event.
SPSCC is dedicated to providing a safe environment for people to learn and work. In furtherance of that
goal, quarterly campus emergency drills help prepare students, faculty, and staff for emergency
procedures.
In 2016 SPSCC conducted several exercises/events which included the following:
