Reporting and CTCD Response Process

1. The first priority of an individual who believes s/he is the victim of sexual assault/misconduct is to get to a place of safety and then obtain the necessary medical treatment. The individual should inform his/her health care provider that he/she is the victim of a sexual assault to ensure medical evidence is preserved. Victims should not wash, douche, change clothes, or use the restroom if possible prior to being examined by their health care provider or meeting with the Police.
2. CTCD Police Officers are trained in the proper handling of sexual assault/misconduct victims and associated medical evidence. Individuals reporting a sexual assault/misconduct on the Central or Ft. Hood Campuses are encouraged to immediately contact CTCD Police for assistance. Filing a report with the CTCD Police will ensure:
   • Receipt of necessary medical treatment and tests at no expense to the victim;
   • Protection of vital evidence;
   • Access to CTCD Student and Employee Assistance Program (“SEAP”) counselors, and referral to Victim Assistance Programs and trained sexual assault counselors.
3. CTCD Police along with CTCD SEAP counselors, Associate Deputy Chancellor, Human Resources Management, Dean, Student Success & Persistence or other appropriate personnel, will help the victim in police reporting, obtaining counseling, and other necessary services.
4. CTCD employees and contractors who have reason to know of or suspect sexual misconduct has occurred on a CTCD campus or sponsored event are required to promptly report all incidents related to sexual misconduct to any of the following:
