Campus Crime and Clery Act

Although no campus is free from crime, we are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for you to live, work, study, and conduct research. In order to assist you we provide multiple resources for you to educate yourself. The ASU Police strive to provide timely information to the community through postings on the ASU Police web page, through electronic media and postings in buildings across campus.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, requires higher education institutions to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. ASU Police issues Clery timely warnings in the form of Crime Alerts. Crime Alerts are not required to be issued for Clery Act crimes reported to pastoral or professional counselors working in those roles. The act’s purpose is to provide students and their families with accurate, complete, and timely information about campus safety so they can make informed decisions.

In order to heighten safety awareness, ASU Police will issue crime alerts to notify students, faculty, and staff of crimes that may represent an ongoing threat to the campus community. The crime alert may also seek information that may lead to an arrest and conviction of the offender.

The ASU Police Department is responsible for creating and publishing the Crime Alerts. Crime Alerts will be disseminated utilizing a variety of methods, which includes at a minimum, mass email and posting to the ASU Police website. In addition, information may be shared through social media and the posting of bulletins on campus. ASU Police work closely with individuals reporting Clery Act crimes to ensure the victim's privacy while also ensuring the community has adequate information regarding potential risks.

ASU Police will assess each Clery crime, which is brought to their attention and occurs within ASU's Clery Act geography, on a case-by-case basis in light of the facts surrounding the incident and mitigating factors such as the suspect being apprehended may eliminate the need for the issuance of a Crime Alert. In conjunction, the Clery Act Compliance Coordinator will assess Clery crimes, which are reported by Campus Security Authorities outside of the ASU Police Department.

Arizona State University uses statistical data to develop meaningful policies around prevention, awareness, and response to campus crime.
