2024 Annual Security Report

Published in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008.
On This Page

The Manhattan School of Computer Technology (MSCT) Annual Security Report is published each year to provide information on safety and security-related services offered by the School in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008.

School crime, arrest and referral statistics include those reported to designated School officials and local law enforcement agencies. Each year, students are provided with access to this report, available in the school library and in the School Director's office. Faculty and staff receive the Annual Security Report via email. All prospective students and employees may access the report through the School's website.

Timely Warnings

In the event that a situation arises either on or off School premises that constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a School-wide "timely warning" will be issued by e-mail to students, faculty, and staff. Anyone with information that may warrant a timely warning should report the information to the School Director's office.

Confidential Reporting

If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the School system or the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider reporting the incident to the School on a confidential basis. With your permission, the School Director or a designee can file a report with the local Police Department without revealing your identity. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others.

Crime Reporting Procedures

All members of the School community are encouraged to report crimes which occur at the School to the School Director as soon as possible following discovery of the offense. The School Director will seek to understand the nature of the crime and the circumstances of the incident—what happened, where, when, whether a weapon was involved, and whether the suspect is still a threat. In the case of a reported crime, the local Police Department will be notified.

Law Enforcement & Access Policy

Manhattan School of Computer Technology has a strong and effective relationship with law enforcement agencies. Should a major crime occur at the School, the 70th Precinct Police Department shall be asked to utilize its resources to investigate the crime.
MSCT is a commuter school located in a commercial building in Brooklyn. During business hours, the School will be open to students, parents, employees, contractors, guests, and invitees. During non-business hours, access to all facilities is by key, if issued. MSCT employees have the authority to ask persons for identification and to ask persons without lawful business at the School to leave the premises.

Emergency Response & Evacuation

Manhattan School of Computer Technology will, without delay and upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees, use any one or a combination of several methods to notify as many people as possible in a timely manner. MSCT may delay notification in cases where immediate notification would compromise efforts to assist victims or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. The notification may be initiated by the School Director, or a Staff or Faculty member, as determined by the particular circumstances.

Sex Offenses, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence & Stalking

Manhattan School of Computer Technology will not tolerate domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other forms of sexual misconduct. Offenders will be subject to appropriate internal investigative processes, disciplinary actions and/or criminal proceedings. MSCT's intent is to promote an environment at the School which is safe and secure for all students and employees.
Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking should get to a place of safety immediately and obtain necessary medical treatment at once. Victims should report the incident to the police as soon as possible since time is a critical factor for evidence collection and preservation. Victims should also immediately report such incidents to the School Director.

For additional referrals or to find a rape crisis center in your area.

Filing a police report will:

  • Ensure that a victim of sexual assault receives the necessary medical treatment and tests
  • Provide the opportunity for collection of evidence helpful in prosecution, which cannot be obtained later
  • Assure that the victim has access to free confidential counseling from counselors specifically trained in sexual assault crisis intervention

Sex Offender Registration

The State establishes a website as the official internet public access to the sex offender registration computerized database.
New York State Sex Offender Registry National Sex Offender Registry (NSOPW)

Drug & Alcohol Abuse Prevention

In accordance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, Manhattan School of Computer Technology prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcoholic beverages by students on its property or as part of any of its activities. Any student involved in the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs or alcohol is subject to expulsion from School and referral for prosecution. Students are encouraged to seek help for any substance abuse issues by contacting the School Director or designee. Conversations are held in strict confidence.
The State of New York sets 21 as the minimum age to purchase or possess any alcoholic beverage. A violation of any law regarding alcohol is also a violation of the School's Code of Conduct and will be treated as a separate disciplinary matter.
