Sex Offender/Violent Offender Registration

Enrolled students who are sex offenders and/or violent offenders must register before the beginning of each semester with the KCC police chief or deputy chief. Phone 815-802-8190 or 815-802-8197.

The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Act of 2000 requires colleges and universities to inform students and employees how to learn the identity of registered sex offenders on campus. This law contains the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, which became effective Oct. 23, 2002.

Sex offender information is compiled by the Illinois State Police, which maintains a website that allows you to search for sex offenders online. Learn the identity of registered sex offenders in Illinois by reviewing the sex offender database.

Law Enforcement Requests and Campus Access

Bevin’s Act Procedures

If a law enforcement officer or public official from any jurisdiction comes to campus requesting student information, they must present a signed Authorization for Release of Information form that includes an official notary seal from the State of Illinois or from the state where the request originated.

Federal or ICE Agents

For a federal agent, including an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, to enter non-public areas (such as classrooms, offices, or residence facilities), they must present:

• A warrant signed by a judicial judge, or
• Consent from a college official or law enforcement, and only in exigent circumstances involving imminent danger.

An administrative warrant signed by an immigration official alone is not sufficient to enter private spaces.

Entry into publicly accessible areas (such as walkways or public events) generally does not require a warrant.

For off-campus athletic housing, a signed judicial warrant must be presented to the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction.

Service of Warrants or Subpoenas

Law enforcement officers coming to campus to serve an arrest warrant or subpoena must:

1. Contact the Chief of Police Eric Springer or Deputy Chief of Police Micheal Stoltz.
2. Wait in a designated area once contact is made.
3. The Chief or Deputy Chief will notify the appropriate college official, who will then consult College Counsel for guidance before any action is taken.

College Police Assistance

Officers from the KCC Police Department will not assist federal or ICE agents except in exigent circumstances involving imminent danger.
