The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998

In 1990, the U.S. Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act, (Title II of Public Law 101-542) which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965. This same act has since been amended in 1992, 1998, 2000 and 2010. The 1998 amendments renamed the law the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.  Grand Rapids Community College prepares this report in order to comply with the Clery Act.   The college compiles a report that not only lists statistics on certain crimes that are reported on campus, but also reports on security policies the college maintains. GRCC's Annual Security Report includes the previous three years and contains crime data that occurred on-campus, off-campus, buildings or property owned or controlled by GRCC; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus.

The act requires campuses to report occurrences of the following crimes: Murder/Non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, sexual offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson and hate crimes. The act also requires that the following arrests and judicial referrals that occur on campus be reported: liquor law, drug abuse and weapons violations. The crime reports are made available to all current employees, students, prospective students and employees and anyone requesting a copy.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.  (WDRB Fox 41) --  University of Kentucky police issued a campus crime alert Wednesday night after two reports of a man puncturing victims' feet under a desk at the W. T. Young Library.

Police call it a fourth degree assault.  A statement says police were called about an incident in the library basement Monday evening and later learned of a second, similar incident from the same day and location.

"In both incidents the victims reported that the suspect crawled under the study desk and used an unknown object to puncture their feet," the crime alert statement said.

Police described the suspect as white male, 5-feet-8 to 6-feet tall, with short hair and possibly a buzz cut, wearing a hat and bright orange shorts or shoes.

He was last seen walking toward the vending machines in the library basement.  The Young library is the main library on UK's Lexington campus.

UK police ask anyone with information to call (859) 257-1616 or #UKPD (#8573) from any cell phone.

 

 

 

April 18, 2011 — The University of Wyoming is launching an anonymous text tip program that will help create a safer community. Tip411 is an Internet-based tool that enables the public to text message anonymous tips to the university police and lets police respond, creating a two-way anonymous chat.

Reserved exclusively for public safety purposes and powered by CitizenObserver, a St. Paul, Minn., company, tip411 puts a powerful new crime fighting tool in the hands of the UW community.

"We're pleased to be part of a national program that benefits more than a thousand communities around the country," UW Police Chief Troy Lane says. "This new capability will help our residents play an active role in keeping the community safer, it will engage a younger demographic in the process, and it will save our agency time and resources."

Anyone with a cell phone can now send an anonymous tip to the UW Police Department by texting Uwyo and the tip information to 847411 (tip411).

Anonymous web tips can also be submitted directly from the police department's website at www.uwyo.edu/UWPD . 

It's 100 percent anonymous. CitizenOberserver's technology removes all identifying information before the police department sees it so there's no way to identify the sender.

Lane says this capability is effective in reaching out to younger members of the community.

"When someone feels afraid to come forward or feels like not getting involved, this can be a great way to pass information without fear of retribution."

Old Dominion University students were put on alert again this week, this time for a home invasion off campus in the 800 block of 43rd Street early Thursday morning.

The final College Police community policing event for the spring semester is a rockin' hot makeover at 7 p.m. April 19 in the Great Room.

Participants include senior Rachel Cabin, senior Ryan Ellis, sophomore Ariel Francis, freshman Taylor Bugglin and senior Michaela Sowers; faculty members Bill Bauer, McCoy associate professor of education, and Mary Barnas, McCoy professor of psychology; and staff member Aaron Berger, admission counselor.

Featuring hair and makeup from Spalon of Marietta and clothing from Kohl's in Vienna, W.Va., each participant has worked with a community police officer, stylist and wardrobe consultant in preparation for the event. Four students will have their hair and makeup done onstage during the presentation, and the clothing donated can be bought for a reduced price if it appeals to the participants. Ellen Campbell, assistant dean of students, and Jacob Tidwell, assistant director of student activities and Greek life, will serve as the event's emcees.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Campus police at the University of Maryland at College Park are starting an effort to reduce crime through community policing.

UW-Madison Police have released a sketch of a man they say sexually assaulted a woman on campus last year.

Police said the victim, who was 27 at the time of the attack, was sexually assaulted and choked in her vehicle in UW Parking Area #3, 408 N. Lake St., by a man she had met earlier at the Church Key bar, 626 University Ave.

The assault took place between 1 a.m. and 3:10 a.m. Feb. 13, 2010, but was not reported to police until Thursday, police said.

"I don't think she necessarily felt comfortable coming forward at the time," Det. Peter Grimyser said of the victim.
