Delaware Tech Alert: Emergency Notification and Timely Warning Policy

Each Delaware Tech campus provides reports (Timely Warnings) to its College Community concerning the occurrence of any Reportable Offense reported to either a local law enforcement agency or to a Campus Security Authority where the occurrence of such an offense is deemed by the relevant Vice President and Campus Director, after consultation with the relevant Chief of Public Safety, to constitute a threat to students or employees.

• — Describes the decentralized, per-campus decision chain: a Vice President and Campus Director decide after consulting that campus's Chief of Public Safety, rather than one named systemwide official.
• — Recovered through an AI-summarized search snippet rather than a direct page load, so it is treated as reconstructed rather than confirmed verbatim.

Warnings are designed based on the severity of the crime, the continuing threat to the College Community and the population most likely to be at risk, and will provide a description of the incident, where and when it occurred, a physical description of the perpetrator, any connection to previous reported incidents, category of individuals who may be at risk and the date and time the warning was issued.

• — Lists the specific content elements the college says each Timely Warning will contain, closely mirroring the Clery Act's own timely-warning content guidance.
• — Recovered via search-engine summary, not a direct page load; treated as reconstructed pending independent confirmation.

In the event of an emergency or weather-related closing, Delaware Tech will deploy the mass notification system "Delaware Tech Alert" to provide important information via email, but can also include text and voice messages.

• — Names email as the primary channel with text and voice as secondary or supplemental channels, an inversion of the SMS-first pattern common at many other institutions in this archive.
• — Recovered via search-engine summary; treated as reconstructed pending a direct page load.

The Chief of Public Safety at each campus is responsible for determining when crime alert bulletins will be made and the duration of the crime alert warning.

• — Confirms fully campus-level authority for both issuing and closing out a Crime Alert Bulletin, consistent with the four-campus decentralized structure described elsewhere on the site.
• — This sentence surfaced in two independent search queries with only a capitalization difference between them, offering some cross-corroboration, but it is still marked unconfirmed because neither query loaded the source page directly.
