Los Rios publishes the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Report (also know as the Annual Clery Report) by October 1 of each year.
This report includes information about our safety and security policies and three years of crime statistics for our main college campuses, outreach centers, and other locations.
We believe that our policies and programs for preventing and reducing crime – along with our emergency notices, timely warnings, and disclosure of reported crimes – promote a safer and more informed community.
You can also get a copy of the Clery Report from any campus police center.
Frequently Asked Questions
Jeanne Clery was a 19-year-old student who was raped and murdered in her dormitory at Lehigh University in 1986. As a result, Clery's parents campaigned for legislative reform that would require schools to share information about campus safety and security.
This resulted in the passage of the Clery Act in 1990. The Clery Act is a federal law that requires all universities and colleges that receive federal student financial aid to report crime statistics, implement a campus alert system, and publish and annual report available to current and prospective students and employees.
The Clery Report must include crimes committed on a campus, in any unobstructed public areas immediately adjacent to or running through the campus, and certain non-campus facilities, such as remote classrooms.
The statistics must be gathered from campus police or security, local law enforcement, and other school officials who have significant responsibility for student and campus activities, such as student judicial affairs directors. Professional mental health and religious counselors are exempt from reporting obligations, but may refer patients to a confidential reporting system if one is available.
Types of reportable crimes
Crimes are reported in seven major categories, with several sub-categories:
- Criminal homicide
- Murder and non-negligent manslaughter
- Negligent manslaughter
- Sex offenses
- Forcible sex offenses
- Non-forcible sex offenses
- Robbery
- Aggravated assault
- Burglary
- Motor vehicle theft
- Arson
Schools are also required to report the following three types of incidents if they result in either an arrest or disciplinary referral:
- Liquor law violations
- Drug law violations
- Illegal weapons possession
If both an arrest and referral are made, only the arrest is counted.
Geographical breakdown
The statistics are also broken down geographically into the following:
- On campus
- Residential facilities for students on campus
- Non-campus buildings
- Public property, such as adjacent streets and sidewalks
Schools can use a map to denote these areas.
Hate crimes
The report must also indicate if any of the reported incidents – or any other crime involving bodily injury – were hate crimes.
A hate crime is a crime that is motivated by a bias of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.
