The purpose of the daily crime log is to record all criminal incidents and alleged criminal incidents that are reported to UTPD. Therefore, not all incidents listed on the crime log are included in Clery statistics, UTPD statistics, or being investigated by law enforcement.
Incidents are posted within two business days of the information being reported to Public Safety. A business day is Monday through Friday, except for days when the institution is closed (such as holidays or other scheduled breaks).
Crimes included on the crime log are those that occurred on campus or within UTPD’s patrol jurisdiction. Only crimes that have been reported to UTPD are added to the Crime log. Crimes that separate law enforcement agencies responded to may not be included. This crime log is not required to update the disposition of a crime log entry if the disposition changes after 60 days have passed.
Information may be temporarily withheld if there is clear and convincing evidence that the release of information would jeopardize an ongoing investigation, jeopardize the safety of an individual, cause a suspect to flee or evade detection, or result in the destruction of evidence.
Crimes listed on the crime log will remain on the crime log for 60 days after being added to the crime log. If you have questions, would like to review the crime log in-person, or make a special request about the crime log statistics older than 60 days please visit the UTPD office at 1101 Cumberland Ave; Knoxville, TN 37996 or email utpolice@utk.edu.
