Safety Data and Clery Compliance
Utah State University is commited to the safety and security of our campus community. The Clery Act (1998) is a consumer protection law that aims to provide transparency around campus crime policy and statistics. In order to comply with the Clery Act, universities must collect and submit crime reports and fire statistics, issue campus alerts, and provide an annual security report (sometimes called the Clery Report).
The Clery Act is named for Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University student who was raped and murdered in her dorm room in 1986. Her killer was another student, and her parents believe she would have been more cautious if she had known about other violent crimes at her university.
Daily Crime and Fire Log
USU Police provides a daily fire log and daily crime log for all reports to USU Police within the previous 60-day period. If you would like to access older records, please contact USU Public Safety.
Campus Alerts
USU issues three kinds of campus alerts to students and employees: emergency notifications, timely warning notices, and safety alerts. USU Public Safety follows a decision matrix to determine which alert is sent to the university community. Alerts are sent through USU's Code Blue Alert System, and all members of the campus community should keep their notification settings in Code Blue updated.
