All reports will be investigated. The University does not have a Voluntary Confidential Reporting Policy. Kentucky State University encourages anyone who is the victim or witness to any crime to promptly report the incident to the police. Because police reports are public records under state law, Kentucky State University cannot hold reports of crime in confidence. When a potentially dangerous threat to the University community arises, timely reports or warnings will be issued through e-mail announcements, the posting of flyers at local campuses, or other appropriate means. For purposes of inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics, confidential reports are generally made to other University CSAs who meet certain requirements and only under certain situations, i.e. pastoral and professional counselors who are acting in that role when made aware of any crime.
Kentucky State University policy defines all employees as mandatory reporters for crimes that involve Kentucky State University students, faculty, and/or staff, and/or happen on campus. The following employees are exempt from some reporting requirements due to the guidelines from their profession: campus mental health counselors, health care providers and/or religious advisors.
When a mandatory reporter becomes aware of an alleged act of sexual harassment, discrimination or assault, the reporter must promptly contact the Title IX coordinator.
When an employee becomes aware of any campus crimes, threats of crimes, fire, or threats of fire, they must also report these threats in a prompt manner to University Police.

If the threat does not appear to be imminent individuals are encouraged to contact Betty White Student Health Services at (502) 597-6277 during regular operating hours. If possible, students, faculty and staff members are encouraged to walk the
