The Clery Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics
Act (the “Clery Act”) requires that a number of non-security campus affiliated individuals
report crime statistics to campus security each year. The information is used for
the College’s Annual Security and Fire Report (Pasco Campus) and the Annual Security Report (Richland Campus) published each October 1 or a later date as permitted by the Department
of Education. The Clery Act requires that four general categories of crimes be included
in the annual reporting of crime statistics: criminal offenses, hate crimes, VAWA
offenses and arrests and referrals for disciplinary action.
The Timely Warning Notifications Policy, which complies with the Clery Act, covers the procedures the College will follow
in the event of a serious and ongoing threat to the College community. The College
will issue a Timely Warning Notification for all Clery Act crimes, as defined by the
Timely Warning Policy, but the College may issue Timely Warning Notifications for
other incidents that pose a serious or ongoing threat to the College community.
The Emergency Notifications Policy, which complies with the Clery Act, covers the procedures the College will follow
in the event of an emergency situation and outlines the methods of communicating an
emergency to the College community or appropriate segments of the College community.
