Voluntary Confidential Reporting
Collin College recognizes incidents of crime can be difficult to discuss, and victims and witnesses may want confidentiality in addition to support. Victims and witnesses of a crime who do not want to pursue action within the Collin College system or the criminal justice system may still want to consider making a voluntary confidential report. The Collin College Police Department can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing the victim’s or witness’s identity.
 
The purpose of a voluntary confidential report is to comply with the victim’s or witness’s wish to keep the matter confidential while taking steps to ensure the future safety of the victim, witness, and others. With such information, Collin College can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, employees, and visitors; determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or assailant; and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in Collin College’s annual Clery Act crime statistics.
 
To submit a voluntary confidential report, victims and witnesses can contact the Collin College Police Department Communications Center 24 hours a day by:
 
1. Dialing extension 5555 from any Collin College system phone,
2. Dialing 972.578.5555 from any phone outside the Collin College system, or
3. Pressing the “Emergency” button located on any Collin College system phone.
 
The victim or witness must inform the dispatcher they would like their name and any identifying information to remain confidential at the start of the report. The victim or witness should provide as much detail as possible, and the dispatcher will take the report without including the victim’s or witness’s name or identifying information. 
 
If the victim or witness would prefer to submit a voluntary confidential report in person, they may do so at any of the following Collin College Police Department office locations: 
 
1. Celina Campus: Room 129
2. Collin Higher Education Center: Room 134
3. Courtyard Center: Room 125
4. Farmersville Campus: Room 103
5. Frisco Campus: Room LH-179
6. McKinney Campus: Room C-121
7. Plano Campus: Suite K-119
8. Technical Campus: Room C-010
9. Wylie Campus: Room B-139 
 
When submitting a voluntary confidential report in person, the victim or witness must inform the Collin College Police Department officer they would like their name and any identifying information to remain confidential at the start of the report. The victim or witness should provide as much detail as possible, and the Collin College Police Department officer will take the report without including the victim’s or witness’s name or identifying information. 
 
Additionally, victims and witnesses have the right not to report a crime if they so choose.
 
Anonymous Reports
In accordance with the Texas Education Code Section 51.252 and Section 51.283, complainants can report prohibited conduct anonymously or using a pseudonym. However, the submission of an anonymous report or use of a pseudonym may impair Collin College’s ability to investigate and address the prohibited conduct. Additionally, to initiate the Title IX complaint resolution process, complainants cannot remain anonymous.
 
To report prohibited conduct anonymously or using a pseudonym, complainants can submit the online Title IX Formal Complaint Form or contact the Collin College Police Department Communications Center 24 hours a day by:
 
1. Dialing extension 5555 from any Collin College system phone,
2. Dialing 972.578.5555 from any phone outside the Collin College system, or
3. Pressing the “Emergency” button located on any Collin College system phone.
 
The complainant should inform the dispatcher they would like to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym at the start of the report. The complainant should provide as much detail as possible, and the dispatcher will take the report using a pseudonym in place of the complainant’s name.
 
To submit an in-person report of prohibited conduct anonymously or using a pseudonym, complainants can go to any of the following Collin College Police Department office locations:
 
1. Celina Campus: Room 129
2. Collin Higher Education Center: Room 134
3. Courtyard Center: Room 125
4. Farmersville Campus: Room 103
5. Frisco Campus: Room LH-179
6. McKinney Campus: Room C-121
7. Plano Campus: Suite K-119
8. Technical Campus: Room C-010
9. Wylie Campus: Room B-139
 
When submitting an anonymous report of prohibited conduct in person, the complainant should inform the Collin College Police Department officer they would like to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym at the start of the report. The complainant should provide as much detail as possible, and the Collin College Police Department officer will take the report using a pseudonym in place of the complainant’s name.
 
If a complainant files a report and later determines they would like to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym, the Collin College Police Department can assign a pseudonym to the complainant. The complainant must inform the Collin College Police Department officer assigned to investigate the case over the phone or in writing that they would like a pseudonym assigned to them. The pseudonym will be used in place of the complainant’s name to identify them on any further documentation that could become public information.
 
Amnesty Policy for Collin College Students
In accordance with the Texas Education Code Section 51.284, Collin College will give amnesty to (i.e., not take disciplinary action against) a student who reports, in good faith, that the student was the victim of or a witness to an incident of prohibited conduct as defined by this policy. This amnesty policy applies regardless of the location at which the incident occurred or the outcome of Collin College’s disciplinary process regarding the incident, if any. This amnesty policy does not apply to a student who reports their own commission or assistance in the commission of prohibited conduct as defined by this policy.
