Report the Crime:
Under the Clery Act, a crime is considered reported when a victim, witness, or other third party brings the crime to the attention of a CSA or local law enforcement personnel. If a member of the Jefferson community reports a crime to a CSA, or if a CSA is made aware of any crime that occurred on campus that may not have been reported to the Department of Public Safety, the CSA is required to notify the appropriate Department.
Your role is to report all incidents immediately, no matter how minor an incident may seem. In order to ensure that our campuses are safe and that we are fully meeting the Clery Act requirements, we need your help. If you are aware of any crime(s) that has occurred on or around Jefferson property within the last year, please report it in any of these ways:
