Campus Compliance Services is responsible for preparing and distributing this Annual Security & Fire Safety report to comply with the Clery Act. This responsibility moved from the division of Public Safety to Campus Compliance Service on July 14, 2025. Within Campus Compliance Services, the responsibility for preparing the report is assigned to the Clery Compliance Coordinator. The report is published and distributed every year by October 1. It includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on the university’s Clery geography. Statistics for Clery Act offenses that did not occur within Clery geography are not included in the university’s Clery Act crime statistics even if university students or employees were involved.
Clery Act Offense statistics are compiled from:
- UTPD Police Reports and Complaints
- CSA Reports
- Disciplinary Referrals
- Relevant Law Enforcement Agencies
In addition to statistics, the Annual Security & Fire Safety Report also contains information regarding topics such as crime reporting, crime prevention and awareness programming, fire safety, a university police overview, emergency response, disciplinary procedures, and other matters of importance related to security and safety on campus.
