GRAYSON, Ky. — A woman and her former boyfriend featured in a recent episode of MTV's "True Life" have been arrested based on their behavior on the reality show, which depicted the woman purchasing and using drugs, sometimes in the presence of her 5-year-old son.
Kentucky State Police last week arrested 26-year-old Cortney J. Howard, of Grayson, Ky., and 33-year-old David R. Nickell, of Sandy Hook, Ky. Police said the pair were charged as the result of their participation in an episode of the "True Life" series titled "I'm Addicted to Pills."
The program aired on Dec. 9. It drew the scrutiny of Carter County Attorney Patrick Flannery, who said he watched it and "reported what I saw to the appropriate authorities." The KSP launched an investigation that culminated with Howard's and Nickell's arrests on Friday.
The KSP said the show's cameras had captured "numerous violations of law," including drug use and trafficking and placing children in "unsafe positions."
Flannery said he was particularly disturbed by the portions of the program that depicted Howard engaging in drug-related behavior in the presence of her 5-year-old son.
"It is important to note that all citizens have a duty under Kentucky law to report the dependency, neglect or abuse of a minor to law enforcement or to social services," he said.
Howard was charged with first-degree drug possession, endangering the welfare of a minor and felony theft. Nickell, identified on the show as Howard's former boyfriend, was charged with first-degree drug trafficking.
Howard was one of two addicts profiled on the program. The other was "Dan," a 29-year-old from Hollywood, Fla.
The show depicts Howard buying and using pills and stealing items from her mother that she trades for drugs. At one point, the program's cameras follow along as Howard and Nickell take Howard's son along on a drug buy.
"I know I shouldn't take (the boy) along, but I have no one to watch him," Howard says.
Later, Howard is shown snorting a crushed pill off the hood of Nickell's car while her son plays in the background. Howard admits she "crossed a line I never thought I'd cross" by using drugs in her son's presence.
Howard also is seen showing up late to her son's birthday party because she and Nickell are out trying to score pills, and swallowing a handful of pills at an outdoor party after police show up. She later tells producers she also drank alcohol at the party and woke up thinking, "Wow! I could've OD'd last night."
Near the end of the show, Howard is seen entering a treatment clinic and speaking to a counselor, telling him Suboxone, a drug commonly used in the treatment of opiate addiction, has eliminated her cravings for pills.
An epilogue at the conclusion of Howard's portion of the program states she continues to take Suboxone, hasn't gotten high on pills for two months and is planning to find a place to live on her own with her son as soon as she finds steady employment.
"True Life" has been airing on MTV since March 1998. Each episode follows a particular topic. The show is created by having camera crews follow the subjects through certain parts of their lives. The program has covered more than 140 topics and has won a number of awards.
Details for this story were reported by The Independent in Ashland, Ky.

I had this many times while living in Vermont and had a bottle yesterday for the first time in a few years.Poured a slight hazed light amber color with a tight 1/2 finger white head that stuck around for a minute leaving no lace behind as it settled,quite effervescent on the nose with big apricot and honey notes,with a noticable toasted grain elemant in there as well.Its a good cook out and or bbq beer lighter easy going down and chicks dig it,anyways the fruity flavors of apricot and or peach are not as big as in the nose but really show thru in the finish as well a little toastiness with just a lighter herbal hop note as a slight balancer.Hey it is what is a easy quaffing cult beer I would take it over any macro or other fruit beers out there for sure.

On tap at Stone Pub. Pours a mellow amber-orange color with highlights of burnt sunburst around the edges; slight haze but not enough to completely cloud your eyesight to the other side. Fizzy, bone-white head goes almost as quickly as it comes. The aroma is fruity, light, and crisp; apricots, oranges, peaches - sounds great, right? Unfortunately the smell comes off a little too contrived, artificial, and errs on the side of medicinal. Not enough to abhor the beer already, but it doesn't bode well for how it's probably going to taste. Hits the palate with a thin-almost medium body, crisp, snappy, and fizzy. Takes over with the fruity sensation right away - apricots still in the forefront, with some peaches, tangerines, and pears on deck. The strange, vitamin-like medicinal character is actually less apparent on the palate then it was in the aroma, which is a good thing, but I still have to smell this sucker every time I bring the glass to my mouth. A bit of grain and pale malt flavors along with a flower-like hop character which is unfortunately mostly shoved aside by the fruitiness. Low bitterness start to finish, highly carbonation with an aftertaste of artificial fruits and a touch of yeast.
I commend this beer for being almost somewhat of a "gateway" brew that brings people from macro style lagers to the wonderful world of craft beer. It's lighter, not abrasive, easy on the palate; so it's easy to see why newcomers will enjoy it. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold a candle to the rest of the craft world, and once you expand your tastes, this one is easily forgotten, and in many cases, eventually frowned upon for having a weird, medicinal astringency.

A: Deep gold with an orange tint and excellent clarity. The creamy light tan head head is composed of compact bubbles.
S: A moderate aroma of stone fruit mostly apricot with some peach dominate the aroma. the malt is subtle adding a slight toastiness and sweetness. There isn't any hops aroma. The malt increases as it warms.
T: A moderate bitterness and apricot flavor dominate the flavor. There is a good amount of support from a soft malt sweetness giving about an even balance. The off-dry finish leaves a slightly grain malt sweetness and apricot flavor and a light lingering bitterness.
M: The body was a little thick at a medium-heavy body with moderate carbonation. The is no creaminess and no warmth but there is a slight astringency.
O: This is a restrained fruit beer with the apricots still taking center stage but not overwhelming the underling beer. The problem is I'm not that wild about the underling beer. The apricots might be suited better on a slightly sweeter base style beer.

Served in a pint glass; pours a pale orangy color without much head.
Pretty much one note from the aroma to the taste, and that's apricot. It's medium bodied and the taste has a touch of peppery hop spice that I didn't get from the aroma.
Overall, pretty average and maybe a good intro craft for people who aren't ready for the more challenging flavors.

3.98/5 rDev +17.4%
A - Poured into pint glass. Vigorous pour yielded maybe half a finger's worth of white foam, which dissipated fairly quickly. No lacing at all. Poured more orange than gold to the light, and quite hazy.
S - Getting a nutty aroma, like a fruit salad with nuts. The malt keeps a low profile to the nose but does become more apparent when swirled in the glass.
T - Taste doesn't quite go with the aroma, a rich fruity yet malty taste with an unusual twist of a finish, possibly grape or plum. Very light hops in the finish, hop heads would be best served with another ale.
M - Feels pretty light all in all, certainly inoffensive. Alcohol taste is nonexistent. Aftertaste gives you a fruity feeling on the tip of your tongue, like you just ate a banana, and the hops do build up towards the back of the tongue as you keep drinking.
D/O - I don't think it really merits some of the pannings I've seen it get on here. While it's fruity enough to not be an all-around favorite I'd have to say it's a quite inoffensive, and very drinkable approach to an apricot-themed beer. Could see myself scouting it out again in the summer when I think the flavors would really shine. Do yourself a favor if you've got it in a fridge, give it a few minutes out to warm up a bit and you'll appreciate the flavors quite a bit more. It really got a lot more pleasant as it warmed up.

The infamous "Not Quite Pale Ale". An ale that has all the characteristics of a pale ale except that it isnt quite as hoppy as a pale ale. Additionally it has a fresh fruity taste laced in with the maltiness, but it doesn't have the dry quality that some fruit beers have.

I was working late at work and one of the guys came with a 6 of this. Never tried anything by these folks before, so I was interested!
The color is a light amber. Nice soft white head. Good lacing.
Small dark particles in the head - not sure what that's all about.
The smell was like fake raspberry soda with a touch of beer.
The taste was an incredibly disappointing generic pale ale with raspberry flavoring. There is some breadiness but it's quickly into the fruit which comes across as artificial.
It's a medium body brew with medium carb.
I just couldn't get into this beer at all. It reminded me of the article on BA Magazine that talked about not wanting to review the bad fruit flavored beers from Europe. I won't be going back and it seems like such poor judgment, it makes me question other brews by these folks.

Served on tap in a pint glass at Tyler's Taproom in Apex.
Clear bright orange gold in color with a solid 2 fingers of thick white head. Very good head retention with decent lacing, pretty much down the glass.
Aromas were unexpected. Lots of grain malt and fruit with additional light hoppy citrus notes.
The flavors are enjoyable but difficult to describe. There are a ton of different subtle fruit notes like apple, apricot, and pineapple. The backbone seemed to be a solid rich barley malt that came through at the middle and toward the finish. The beer finishes with some malt at first and then sort of has a buttery popcorn linger. I can honestly say I have never had anything like this before and it really was good.
Mouthfeel is a bit better than average with a reasonable level of carbonation. There is a heaviness of malt there that was enjoyable as it is generally hard to find that kind of flavor in an pale ale - full and rich of grain.
Very drinkable and enjoyable. At first I couldn't figure out why this brew is classified as an APA but on reflection, I'm not sure if there is a better classification for it. It definitely stands on its own and has some interesting components that make it unique. Very cool.

Clear body. Orange in color. White head that didn't stay for any amount of time. Aroma mainly has a malty base to it. Some slightly noticable citrus hops.
Taste follows up with a mainly malty flavor with some fruit overtones. A little bit of apricot and some lightly toasted malt flavors. Comes across to me as a flavored lager.
Somewhat thin mouthfeel, nothing outstanding here. Drinkability is good though. Easy to put down, nothing offensive.

Easy No-Heat Curls
35 comments:
- Chels
I love it!! I wish my hair could curl like that, mine is naturally ringlet-ty curls, which I like.. but still :)
Looks great on you!

Elastic headband is how I curl mine, it is so much easier. Plus with my hair getting treated so much, it allows me to only have to use the blowdryer.
Turned out great on you!
- July 16, 2011 at 9:23 AM

These are the two curling styles I recently just tried out, as well! I haven't had good luck with the bun because I always end up doing something weird with my ends and they bend every-which-way when I take the bun out. Love the bun for work, though. Takes the hassle out of trying to make my hair look nice but not too tight/stern.

So funny you just posted about this! I just say the headband method and tried it out Thursday. I was seriously about the post the link on your wall. Glad you found it and enjoyed it!

Kitty, how easily does your hair curl/hold a curl? Regardless of how much hairspray I use, the curl will eventually turn into a wave. And on days with crazy humidity, it will go from curl to straight in about 10 minutes (world record??!)
- July 16, 2011 at 2:35 PM
- Kitty
Em- I'd like to respond to you...but you don't have you email listed...so I'll try here. My hair is wavy, and curl stays pretty well...but its super thick, so I dont like to curl it much! Maybe this isnt very helpful? Sorry! But I've heard great reviews from girls that can not hold curl well!

Stopping by from Whatever Goes Wednesday! Thanks for the idea. I never thought of using anything other than those horrible, painful foam roallers. Makes me wish my hair were just a bit longer so I could try it out!

My sister and I both did the sock bun thing last night, and the curls this morning were gorgeous! She has pin straight hair though, so it fell quite a bit, but it still looked amazing. My hair's curly so it stayed really well, though I straightened the top part of my hair because I wanted the "curly just on the ends" look. Thank you so much for this, I would have never found it or had the ambition to try it without you!

Hi Kitty! cute name by the way. i like doing the sock bun better because it hurts a lot less and stays in a lot better. the headband hurts because i have long, thick hair so it hurts and then in the morning it is around my neck because it fell out. i really love this idea though, comparing them. i might just do it on my blog too!

I live in New South Wales, Australia on the coast where it NEVER snows.

Isn't it amazing how something so beautiful can be so awful at the same time. I'm sorry about your trees - we lost some large limbs last spring during a horrible wind storm and you hate to see them damaged like that.
Your photos are gorgeous though. Hunker down and stay warm!

Oh wow... I know what that is like to have no power and being so cold. That snow looks so deep!
We don't get near that kind of snow here, in Texas, usually just ice.
I do know how it feels to lose trees and not be able to do anything about it--we've lost trees because of ice and because of drought...it is heart breaking.
stay warm, take care

Living in Queensland, Australia, these images are breathtakingly beautiful. But I sit here wondering how you go about daily life in such conditions? How difficult it must be to get anywhere!

It does look so cozy inside your home. We had a horrendous ice storm our first winter in Kentucky a few years ago. We live on a meadow that is lined with huge pine trees and we could stand out on our screened in porch and hear the loud crack and thud as the heavy tree limbs fell to the ground - so many trees were lost in that storm.
There definitely is an eerie beauty to all the ice coated trees, shrubs and hardscape. Being without power makes life interesting - it looks like you are coping well and there is satisfaction in having on hand what you need to be comfortable during times like this when the power is out and you are hesitant to venture out of your safe nest.

stunning pics..always love your home..have followed you for a year or so and just having returned to 100 degree Adelaide heat in Australia after 5 weeks in the States and a wonderful week in Medford Oregon where we just missed the snow, I realised you are in Oregon....look after those sweet babies and enjoy your beautiful home...

Some way, even though I realize the unrest a ice storm and no power can bring, you seem to exude a calm and make everything possible and okay. . . warm, beautiful, cozy comfortable you make it seem. The iced boxwood photo certainly clarifies what the storm brought. I hope your power outtage is in the past and the tree damage is limited. Loved seeing the fire and candle light at night and then in the new morning light . . .

I hate it when we loose limbs or trees split because of the heavy snow. We call our house little house on the prairie because we loose power if you sneeze too loud. Know the feeling and we love and appreciate our fireplace because of that. Hang in there! We have well water too so when we loose power we loose water. I hate it.

It's not easy living out in the country and have a winter storm! We live in an old farmhouse too that we're restoring. It needs new windows (new everything really!) and wasn't made with insulation in the walls. Last winter when we had the blizzard my husband got called out to work the storm. We don't have heat in the upstairs, the stove had just broken down, and we'd ran out of firewood. It made for a very cold week for the boys and I! Glad to see your hubby there and that you have firewood to help keep you and the little ones warm!

Glad you are all okay - I grew up in the country (east coast) and we always had freezing rain storms in winter. I remember large trees falling down and covered in icicles, the driveway (sloped) always dangerous to walk on or drive on - I can remember sliding out onto the (luckily desolate) road more than once...
Here in the arid prairie we rarely get freezing rain or ice warnings - I don't miss them!! Although they have a savage beauty...
Glad you are all well and warm and well-fed too! xo Terri

It looks very isolated. But beautiful! I bet the wood cutter wishes you had a slow combustion stove/wood burner and the cook wishes it had a hotplate on top! Can you get them there? Old country farmhouses all over Australia used to have AGAs. I so wanted one in my house and searched, but we have such a short mild winter it would rarely get used.

The memory of the snapping of the trees (it actually sounded like gunfire) from our ice storm three years ago sends chills up my spine... I hope you and Mike and the babies are all toasty now and that in the end you don't have too much damage on your beautiful trees and property....

I'm in awe of the beautiful pictures you've posted knowing how trying power outages can be. Having gone through 3, lasting over 6 days each, in the past 18 months (you'd think we'd have a generator by now!), I appreciate your post even more. But just the other day I was musing on how fun it was to spend the evenings playing cards with my three boys, listening to a portable radio. There is always a silver lining... Stay safe and warm, Cynthia

We had a very similar situation with the power outages here in CT late Oct. last year. We went 10 days without power, it was tough with our little ones and you just get used never get out of the habit of reaching for the light switch! Our only source of heat was our wood stove and we too welcomed the morning light evyer day :)
BTW - This soup looks delish! Thanks for the recipe link :)

So sorry to hear about the weather! We were hit by a freak hurricane and a snowstorm that both caused us to lose power. Good think we have the woodstove (I cook on it, too!). I just posted a how to make a fire tutorial, you know, in case you ever "forget" how to build one :)
Keeping my fingers crossed you have lovely winter weather from here on out!

How awful, I really feel for you. This happened to us on October 31st/November 1st. Our property and town looked like a war zone. Finally after 30 hrs. we had our power back, my siblings weren't so lucky. They were out between 5 & 7 days. I hope you don't have too much damage.

Oh my goodness, it looks soooo cold. I can't imagine it all.... living in a place that will never see snow. We are the opposite down here... stifling heat and humidity and rain, rain, rain... the wet season.... when everything is damp and sticky and just downright hot. Stay warm up there. Looks so cosy inside your beautiful home. A-M xx

How cozy and welcoming your fireplace (and your home!) are in weather like that. So sad about your trees, though. Always breaks my heart to lose a tree. Now I have to ask about the soup, when you say 'from the freezer' do you mean you had the ingredients frozen or the soup was made previously and frozen. I've been making all kinds of soup this winter, butternut squash, creamy chicken, minestrone and would love to stock up my freezer! Take Care.

Hi Ami,
We froze the soup. It freezes really well due to its pureed texture. We eat a lot of soups too and try to make a double batches to freeze for leftovers.
Happy soup making!

I cannot imagine living amongst that snow..do the plants recover??

I would love to live in snowy climbs, I do love the cooler weather. I think when we had this happen in the UK it was a wake up call that we needed the help of any electricians in Cambridge to put in a back up supply - we now have a generator which is (fairly safe) and does the job when we need it to. I would definitely give it some thought if you think you will have to endure repeat winters/power loss.

The snow is so beautiful! We have so missed it in this very mild Connecticut winter. Nothing like a warm fire and a steaming bowl of soup on a cold winter's day! Hope all is well.

Tejada, 28, has been the Orioles' most consistent player in his first season with the club. After Sunday, he is hitting .315 with 15 homers, 69 RBIs and a 19-game hitting streak. His 69 RBIs are fourth in the Major Leagues and he is on pace to shatter his career high of 131 in 2002.
"I am surprised because there are so many good players who had great years," he said after the Orioles' 5-2 loss to Philadelphia. "So many guys from that position. The All-Star Game always had superstars, and this year I didn't think I was going to make it."
He was elected to his first All-Star Game in 2002, and later that year he collected his first American League MVP award. After six years with the Oakland A's, Tejada signed with the Orioles to become the team's first legitimate superstar since the retirement of Cal Ripken.
Tejada was named a reserve by Yankees manager Joe Torre. He finished fourth in the fan balloting behind the Yankees' Derek Jeter, Boston's Nomar Garciaparra and Texas' Michael Young. Jeter will be a starter, while Young was elected on the players' ballot.
"He was very deserving," Orioles manager Lee Mazzilli said of Tejada. "There were a lot of guys on our club who deserved to make the team."
Tejada has batted at least .300 in every month and is hitting a sparkling .360 against left-handed pitchers. And his numbers in the first half are eerily similar to his first-half numbers in 2002. Tejada hit .294 with 15 homers and 59 RBIs in the first half of 2002 with Oakland.
After a slow defensive start, Tejada regained his status as one of the league's top defensive shortstops. He has dazzled fans with an array of plays in the field.
"I'm playing good this year because I want to feel good about myself and I love to win," he said. "I am real happy. But I wasn't planning to be in the All-Star Game this year."
It's the fourth consecutive year that one Oriole has been elected to the All-Star Game. Ripken was the MVP of the 2001 game, while Tony Batista (2002) and Melvin Mora (2003) also represented the Orioles.
Mora had a chance to make this year's club, but has been injured of late after a torrid start.
"That surprised me, because I think [he] should have made it," Tejada said. "There's a lot of guys who should have made it. That happens sometimes. They can't do anything about it."
Mazzilli said he also pleaded the case for left-handed reliever B.J. Ryan.
Ryan is 2-2 with a 1.84 ERA and left-handers had two hits in 48-at-bats against him. He was edged by the Yankees' Tom Gordon, who had comparable numbers, but a .158 opponents batting average before Sunday.
"Hopefully, when they pick the reserves or there is a scratch, I told [Torre] to keep them in mind," Mazzilli said. "If something happens, to consider those two players."

Sometimes I get frustrated with people when they say they can't cook.
Do you remember when the teacher in the Charlie Brown specials started talking to the class and it came across as, "Wah, wah, wah wah?" In a similar fashion, the instant translation in my brain of "I can't cook," is that you choose not to cook or don't want to take the time to learn to cook.
Granted, I can share those harsh thoughts without fear of retribution because I assume that if you're reading this column, you have an interest in learning how to prepare great food for your family and friends. And if you are new to this craft of cooking great food, the crock pot is a fantastic place to start.
Close your eyes and envision this scene: You walk into your home on a cool, brisk autumn day after a long day of "workin' for the man." The minute you enter your abode, hearty aromas of sausage, apple and sauerkraut greet you. It's as if someone prepared a meal just for you. You immediately feel warm and cared for.
Welcome to crock pot cooking, my friend. While it's not BBQ or grilling, I absolutely love it, and I will be sharing my best crock pot recipes through the autumn and winter.
You probably have a crock pot stashed in your cabinet from a wedding or birthday gift from the past. If not, go buy one. You can get a reasonably good crock pot for as little as $30.
This dish is absolutely one of my favorites, and it is perfect for this time of year.
You don't want to overcook this, so start it at lunch time. It only takes a few hours of cooking, and the potatoes are the only thing you prepare separately.

Buzz: The Yankees Want Hockey In Their Stadium
Outdoor game? RT @markpherrmann Yankees CEO Lonn Trost on future events at new Yankee Stadium: "Hopefully, we'll have hockey here"—
Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) November 12, 2011
Can the Rangers just play a game at Yankee Stadium if they foot the bill for building the rink and such? What I mean is, do the Rangers NEED the Winter Classic to play an outdoor game at Yankee Stadium. Do they need permission from the NHL to play a home game outside of Madison Square Garden? The earliest Winter Classic to be held at the Stadium would be in 2014, if they don't renew the Pinstripe Bowl, and I just wonder if there have been any talks of the Rangers just playing one of their home games there in the next couple of years.

Why Bother? A Moral Choice for Young ArtistsIn the wake of some truly disgusting activity in the gaming industry right now, I've been grappling with a moral dilemma concerning what I would recommend young artists do with their chosen career paths.
Phil Fish Hacked
Phil Fish, the creator of FEZ, is pretty much universally hated by people online. Recently he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, creator of Depression Quest, who was herself under fire from internet thought police for "corrupting" games journalism's integrity by sleeping with journalists to get favorable reviews of her game (allegations which later proved to be untrue). Because he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, Phil found himself under a massive internet attack, wherein hackers compromised his SSI, passwords, Polytron's PayPal account, and other sensitive data.
In the wake of the attack, Phil Fish is now selling off the rights to FEZ and to Polytron. He left with this rather depressing twitter message: "I

OK, this is getting really irritating rantI dont rant publicy very often but now I am putting my foot down.
Every week I have to deal with some stranger I havent talked to trying to use me for all the watchers that have come to my account. Let me just make one thing straight, this is not an account to feature, help spread stuff and all that, this is my gallery. IF that makes you mad or upset then go be friggin mad and upset I dont give a flappityhockeypuck. I dont care if you think I have an ego for not wanting to feature you, and help out. Jesus grow up there are hundreds of ways to feature yourself if you got of your lazy asses.
STOP ASKING ME. Stop trying to GUILT trip me by using your sick pets or sick family memebers. Dont come to me if all you care about is views.
What pisses me of the most is that 99% of the time I get asked some kind of version of this are from people who BARELY talk to me or have never talked to me at all.
yeah this is a big pet peeve of mine, so if you do not want to
dA!!!!!! & streaming later??So devianART is being a huge butt!!! to me lately:
1. It won't let me create a group because "there was an error" and they will not get back to me on what to do, so whatever. Guess that plan is shot down :c
2. Yesterday night I tried to buy a sub for both my friend and I but it "encountered errors" and so I tried again in maybe an hour like it said, and got the same thing. It really pissed me off because like, for one, the sub for my friend is kind of a commission, so...................................................................
And I wanted to deck out my page so, like, what the fuck!!
Anyway, I think I'll be streaming later.
I'm going to do Angie's commission now and then I'm going to be streaming some character ref, I think~!
Or maybe I'll take some $1/idkhowmanypoints sketch & colour commissions or something and do them there, idk!
It shouldn't be too late because I don't want to be all talkin' and stuff when this lady I live with gets home.
I might get nervo
You Were Not An Aquarium BoySea-glass became your bones,
brine your blood, and seashells
melded into your skin.
You were not quite an ocean
when you said "This is your sign to love me."
My body was like a building;
tall, cold, almost unbreakable.
I was metallic and sharp,
towering over your waters.
I remember taking your hand in mine,
conch and coral shells scrubbing
my skyscraper wrists, and laughing
about how one day you would
submerge every last bit of me.
Your lips, riddled with argonauts,
found my cheek and I cringed
at the coarseness.
You asked if they bothered me
and I finally told you "I
think I love you."

Campus Security
In case of emergency:

(808) 284-1270 (cell)
Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services
(808) 294-9123 (cell)

Honolulu Commnity College (Honolulu CC) is committed to providing a safe and secure campus environment for students, faculty, staff, and guests. This page responds to the needs of the campus community and to the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990.
The University of Hawai'i Board of Regents assigned authority for campus safety to the Chancellor, who delegated Campus Security operations to the Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services, phone (808) 845-9123. Campus Security is responsible for providing security service for the campus and is located on the main Dillingham Boulevard campus in Building 4. The unit is staffed by a Security Supervisor and three Security Officers who are on duty on a regular schedule: Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM - 11:00 PM; Saturday, and holidays, 6:00 AM - 2:30 PM. Campus buildings are protected by a silent alarm system.
Services Provided
On campus, Security Officers ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws, as well as the rules and regulations of Honolulu CC. They patrol the campus by vehicle and on foot, and perform the full range of public safety services dealing with incident reports, campus investigations, medical and fire emergencies, traffic accidents, enforcement of laws regulating the use of alcohol, drugs, and weapons, and all other situations requiring Campus Security assistance. Upon request, Campus Security will conduct presentations in crime prevention and campus security procedures.
Campus Security Officers do not have police powers and are not authorized to carry firearms; any campus incident requiring an arrest is referred to the Honolulu Police Department. Campus Security officers are trained in areas such as emergency first aid, CPR, report writing, investigative skills, and other security issues by experts from federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Honolulu CC maintains good working relations with local law enforcement agencies.
Routine facility and landscaping assessment are made to minimize hazardous conditions. Exterior lighting, doors, and shrubbery are checked for unsafe conditions and reported to the Maintenance Department where repairs are given priority.
Access to Campus Facilities
Honolulu CC's facilities are open to students, faculty, staff, and the public during the day and evening hours when classes are in session. During the times that Honolulu CC is officially closed, buildings are locked, and access must be authorized by the Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services (VCAS). A Honolulu Community College Facilities Use form must be submitted and approved by the VCAS before access is allowed.
Crime Prevention Programs
Honolulu CC's crime prevention programs are based upon the dual concept of eliminating or minimizing opportunities for crime, while encouraging students and employees to assume responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others by taking common sense precaution. The following is a listing of Honolulu CC's crime prevention programs.
- Escort Services - By policy, Campus Security provides escort services for anyone requesting an escort when walking on campus at night. An escort will accompany you to any facility or vehicle parked on campus, and can be summoned to your location by calling Campus Security at (808) 271-4836.
- Facilities and Grounds Surveys - All potential safety and security hazards observed by Campus Security Officers on patrol are promptly reported to the appropriate unit for corrective action. The Security Supervisor also participates in the review of the safety issues and concerns of the College.
- Informational/Educational Programs - Informational programs related to sexual assault are offered during the academic year. These programs are publicized in campus publications and through flyers. As appropriate, referrals may be made to outside counseling services or agencies upon request.
- Alcoholic Beverages Policy
- Illegal Drugs Policy
- Sexual Assault Policy
- UH Tobacco Products Policy
- Weapons Policy
Safety Precautions
A successful campus safety program needs the cooperation, involvement, and support of students and faculty.
Take the following precautions:
- Travel and park in lighted areas; travel in pairs, if possible; be aware of your surroundings; use the escort service.
- Report any suspicious persons or activities; report all incidents no matter how minor; report losses immediately.
- Be sure to lock/secure windows and doors in your office or room; lock your vehicles; store valuables out of view.
- Never loan keys to anyone as they are easily lost, stolen, or duplicated.
- Mark or engrave your belongings; don't leave belongings/valuables unattended.
- Register your bike/moped.
The use of skateboards, roller skates, and in-line skates is prohibited on Campus. Mopeds, scooters, and motorized bicycles cannot be operated on the Campus Mall.
Reporting Crimes and Emergencies
Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to report all suspicious activities and/or persons observed on campus, all criminal incidents and violations, and all emergencies to Campus Security. At the three off-campus locations, the Marine Education Training Center, Aeronautics Program & Commercial Aviation Program, call 911 immediately for emergencies and criminal incidents and violations; report these incidents afterward to Campus Security at (808) 284-1270. In addition, we also have an anonymous telephone line; callers who have an incident or crime to report, but wish to remain anonymous may dial (808) 842-2595.
Calls should be made promptly to improve Campus Security and Police ability to prevent potential crimes, to apprehend suspects, and/or to investigate situations. Upon receipt of a call, a Security Officer will respond immediately to the site of the emergency. Every incident is investigated, and a report is filed by the Investigating Officer upon receipt of a complaint.
Statistics of reported criminal activity are kept by the Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services. Daily activities are summarized, and appropriate incidents are reported in detail. As mandated by Federal Legislation, the following statistics are compiled yearly, are available upon request for prospective students and employees of the College, and are distributed regularly to current students and employees of the College.
