Sexual assault and date rape education literature is available through the Student Health Center and Student Counseling Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting to a place of safety should be the first priority for any sexual assault victim. The second priority is to obtain necessary medical treatment. The UPD strongly advocates that a victim of sexual assault report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor for evidence collection and preservation. An assault should be reported directly to a Tarleton State police officer at <a href=\"tel:+12549689001\" data-type=\"tel\" data-id=\"tel:+12549689001\">254-968-9001<\/a>. Filing a police report with a Tarleton State police officer will not obligate the victim to prosecute, nor will it subject the victim to scrutiny or judgmental opinions from officers. Filing a police report will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure that a victim of sexual assault receives the necessary sexual assault examination at no expense to the victim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a timely warning is issued based on information obtained from a reporting of a crime the victim\u2019s name will be withheld as confidential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide the opportunity for collection of evidence helpful in prosecution, which cannot be obtained later (ideally, a victim of sexual assault should not wash, douche, use the toilet, or change clothes prior to a medical examination.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the victim has access to free confidential counseling from counselors specifically trained in the area of sexual assault crisis intervention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When a victim of sexual assault contacts the University Police Department (UPD), a criminal investigator will be notified as well. The victim of a sexual assault may choose for the investigation to be pursued through the criminal justice system and\/or through university channels. A Tarleton State officer will advise the victim of options and support services available. Various counseling options are available from the university through the Student Counseling Services at 254-968-9044. Counseling and support services outside the university may be obtained through Cross Timbers Family Services at 254-965-4357.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once an incident of misconduct, domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking has been reported the University will follow the disciplinary proceedings for such cases involving misconduct as detailed in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/studentrules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student Rules<\/a>&nbsp;under Code of Student Conduct. The code provides disciplinary proceeding guidelines for students and hearings. A student found responsible for a sexual assault could be prosecuted in state court, and have action taken by the university. After an alleged sexual assault, student victims have the option to change their academic and\/or on-campus living arrangements if such changes are reasonably available.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-9fa076d2-f00f-4de7-8007-d6020ef60877{font-size:18px;color:#000000 !important;background-color:#00af86 !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:50px !important;}.advgbbtn-9fa076d2-f00f-4de7-8007-d6020ef60877:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-9fa076d2-f00f-4de7-8007-d6020ef60877 > i {font-size:30px;color:inherit;float:left;margin-right:7px;}.advgbbtn-73c1f1d9-976a-48bb-959c-6a2b9366749d{font-size:18px;color:#000000 !important;background-color:#00af86 !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:50px !important;}.advgbbtn-73c1f1d9-976a-48bb-959c-6a2b9366749d:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-73c1f1d9-976a-48bb-959c-6a2b9366749d > i {font-size:30px;color:inherit;float:left;margin-right:7px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clery Act Tarleton State University, Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act Information Tarleton State University is dedicated to providing a safe and secure campus &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":580,"parent":801,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-788","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/author\/kyle-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3\/","display_name":"kyle"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 4 years ago","modified":"Updated 3 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on August 1, 2022","modified":"Updated on January 13, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on August 1, 2022 6:37 pm","modified":"Updated on January 13, 2026 10:54 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","featured_img":false,"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1184,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/788\/revisions\/1184"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/801"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
