Calls for service made to the University Police Department which required a completed
incident report, follow-up investigation, or other formal action are entered into
our Department’s Daily Crime and Fire Log. This log is available for public viewing
on this web page in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security
Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act.)

For details regarding how reports are made, handled, and for the total number of reported
incidents in a year, please visit our Annual Security and Fire Safety Report page.

Daily Crime and Fire Log case numbers do not run sequentially. The University Police
Department assigns a case number for all reportable activities, both criminal and
non-criminal. Only case numbers generated for incidents requiring a full incident
report, follow-up investigation, or other formal action are listed in the log. Crimes
and fires are listed in chronological order by the date on which they were reported
to the University Police Department. The most recently reported crimes and fires are
at the bottom of the list.

Note: Incidents with a case number that start with “CSA” involve information received
from other University Administrators defined by federal law as “campus security authorities.”
These administrators share with the police department non-identifying information
provided by the victim. In these incidents, the victim did not file an official police
report and therefore it is not always possible to provide information regarding the
date reported, date or time the incident occurred, or location of the incident. Because
an official report was not filed there will be no disposition. These incidents are
reported to the police department for statistic purposes and are posted to the Daily
Crime and Fire Log as the information is received by the University Police Department.

Daily Crime logs are available and can be viewed at the University Police Department.

According to Federal Law, an institution may withhold any of the required fields of
entry (i.e., the classification, date, time, location and/or disposition) if any of
the following conditions apply:

• The disclosure is prohibited by law

• The disclosure would jeopardize the confidentiality of the victim

• The disclosure would jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation or the safety of
  an individual

• The disclosure would cause a suspect to flee or evade detection

• The disclosure would result in the destruction of evidence

 

Daily Crime and Fire Log Disposition Definitions

The following is an explanation of the terminology used to complete the Disposition
section of the Daily Crime and Fire Log:

Open – This disposition designates a case that is under investigation or has otherwise
not been closed or referred to another agency or Department.

Pending – This disposition designates a case that is pending court action or has been referred
to another agency or court.

Closed – This disposition designates a case that is no longer under active investigation,
has been adjudicated in court, has been referred to another agency, or has reached
a point where there is no further action to be taken by the Department, including
cases where no further leads are available, or the victim refused to cooperate.

Disciplinary Referral – This disposition designates a case that has been referred to another University
Department for action under their own policies and procedures and the University Police
Department is no longer the primary acting agency on the case.

Unfounded – This disposition designates a case wherein credible evidence has been discovered
which demonstrates the report to be false or baseless. This designation requires positive
demonstration of the falseness or lack of base for the report and is not to be utilized
in cases where there simply is no evidence to support the crime.
