[Note: the League sample is BP 3503 but that is CR’s policy for Campus Visitors, so I have used
3504 for the number in this draft. CR should consider whether the district would prefer to have
a uniformly numbered policy with other districts. If so, then the number of this policy and
administrative procedure should be 3503 and the Campus Visitor policy number should be
changed.]

REDWOODS COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
Administrative Procedure
AP 3504
MISSING STUDENT NOTIFICATION
This Administrative Procedure applies to students residing in on-campus housing. If an
employee or student, or any other member of the District community such as a volunteer, has
reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing, he or she should
immediately notify the local law enforcement agency and the Public Safety Department at (707)
476-4111 or by dialing extension 4111 from any campus courtesy or office phone. The Public
Safety Department will immediately contact the appropriate local law enforcement agency to
generate a missing person report initiate an investigation.
In addition to registering a general emergency contact, students residing in on-campus housing
have the option to identify confidentially an individual or individuals to be contacted by the
Public Safety Department in the event the student is determined to be missing for 24 hours or
more. If a student has identified such an individual, the Public Safety Department will notify that
individual no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. A student who
wishes to identify a confidential contact can do so by completing and submitting the form
available at the Residential Life (Housing) office. A student’s confidential contact information
will be accessible only by authorized campus officials and may not be disclosed except to law
enforcement personnel in the course of a missing person investigation.
After investigating a missing person report, if the Public Safety Department determines that the
student has been missing for 24 hours, the Public Safety Department will notify the local law
enforcement agency and the student’s emergency contact within 24 hours after the student is
determined to be missing. If the missing student is under the age of 18 and is not an emancipated
individual, the Public Safety Department also will notify the student’s parent or legal guardian
within 24 hours that the student is missing.
