Daily Crime Log
Campus Security makes, keeps, and maintains a daily log written in a form that is easily understood and records all incidents reported to the office.
If there is clear and convincing evidence the release of such information would jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation or the safety of an individual, which would cause a suspect to flee or evade detection, or result in the destruction of evidence, such information may be withdrawn until damage is no longer likely to occur from the release of such information.
- The log is available to the public for inspection in the Student Success suite.
- The log provides the nature, date, time, and general location of each complaint.
- If known, the disposition of the complaint is given. Information and updates are added within two business days after the information becomes available.
- Per policy, names are not included in the log.
