Clery Report details campus crime statistics

The Los Rios Department released its mandatory annual crime report to the public last month presenting the past three years’ crime statistics that show drug and liquor violations as the most frequent offenses on campus.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act report has been federally mandated since 1990 and is required for all college and university campuses that participate in federal financial aid and employ a security or police force on campus, according to the statute 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f).

Crimes required for publication in the report fall into 12 main categories that are further categorized by geographic location, action taken by law enforcement and hate crime status of the offense, according to Los Rios Police Department Captain Valerie Cox. Crimes that do not fit into these categories are not required for the report.

All crimes—both those included in the Clery report and not—are required by the law to be published in daily crime logs that must be maintained by the department and kept readily available for review by the public according to Cox and the statute.

“Throughout the year our crime log is maintained on our website, so you can go there 24/7. Our crime log is linked to our database so as soon as a crime occurs and is recorded as a crime in our system, that crime is captured on our crime log,” Cox said. According to Cox, the availability of crime information to the public is not only legally required but is also department policy at Los Rios.

“I promote transparency. There’s really nothing here that we do… where we can’t provide [information] for you,” Cox said.

“They do a fantastic job [of] a), keeping the crime down and b), making us aware of it,” said City College English Professor Steve Passal, who was a witness to an incident recently in which Los Rios Police were dispatched.

Cox also said she estimated that 70 percent of crimes committed on campus feature non-students as the perpetrator, a threat she said is always present on an open campus.

“There are some people who are coming on [campus] to see what they can take advantage of,” Cox said.

The most concerning and frequent crime, according to Cox, is theft, which is not a crime required for reporting in the Clery report. She advises caution when using valuable electronics or displaying valuables.

“I think it’s important for students to be cognizant that even though it’s an educational environment, that they have to secure their items… even in this environment we have to make sure that

we’re maintaining safety and security thoughts at all times,” Cox said.

The City College general education major Domonique Garrett also expressed concern about personal security awareness and its relation to campus crime.

“A lot of people are not aware of their surroundings, especially at nighttime, and I think that’s when the crime rate goes up,” said Garret.
