East Tennessee State University (ETSU), in its continuing effort to maintain a safe academic and work environment for students, faculty and staff, is presenting the following information concerning campus safety and security.  This information is presented to the university community with the knowledge that individual awareness and adherence to university security policies and procedures is the best method to maintain a safe campus environment.

The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act and the Tennessee College and University Campus Sex Crimes Prevention, as of 2002, require that when a sex offender becomes employed, enrolls as a student, or volunteers at an institution of higher education in the state of Tennessee, he or she must register with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). The TBI is responsible for promptly notifying the Department of Public Safety at ETSU of any offender who is currently registered and is also an employee or student at ETSU.

At present, ETSU has not been notified by the TBI of any known current employee or student who is listed on the TBI sex offender registry. A listing of persons who have reported to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation pursuant to the Sex Crimes Prevention Act is available in the ETSU Department of Public Safety office.

The information presented below is designed to meet the guidelines of the College and University Security Information Act of 1989 and the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990.  Information concerning university security policies and procedures, crime rates and crime statistics can be obtained upon request from the Department of Public Safety, Box 70646, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN 37614-0646.
