Clery Act

Page Content

 
Jeanne CleryThe Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, commonly referred to as the "Clery Act," is a federal law that requires each university receiving federal financial aid to annually compile and report specified crime and fire statistics for the university campus and to provide other safety and crime information to members of the campus community. The purpose of this Combined Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is to describe to the University of Southern Mississippi (faculty, staff, and students) the policies and procedures which support and comply with the various Clery Act requirements.

A notice is mailed annually to students and employees advising them that the report can be accessed on the UPD website. Hard copies of the report may also be obtained from the University Police Department located in Bond Hall, First Floor West or the Dean of Student鈥檚 Office located in the Union 2nd floor. Prospective students and employees are afforded the same information at the time they obtain an application for admission or employment. Any person may have access to this report.

Compilation of information for this report as well as criminal statistical data as required by the Act is accomplished through cooperative efforts with Dean of Students Office, Office of Human Resources, the Admissions Office, the Department of Fire Safety, the Department of Resident Life, the Department of Career Services, Deans, the Athletic Department, Advisors to student organizations, and numerous other university departments. Physicians and counselors from University Health and Counseling Center encourage victims of criminal offenses to report their circumstance to the University Police. Crimes may be reported to any of the departments mentioned above.

Criminal statistics for off-campus properties owned or controlled by the University or recognized student organizations, and public property immediately adjacent to the campus are obtained from the local law enforcement agencies.
