Mon, 01 Oct 2018 10:55:57 -0400

Members of the UMBC Community:

Each fall, the UMBC Police Department provides the campus community our Annual Campus Security Report. I encourage you to take a few moments to review this important material.

In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, commonly referred to as the Clery Act, this message constitutes notification for our campus community of the availability of the UMBC Annual Campus Security Report (Clery Report) for calendar year 2017. The report is located here. Copies of the report are also available at the UMBC Police Station or by emailing police@umbc.edu. Clery Report statistics for 2015 and 2016 are also posted.

This report contains statistics about crimes and other incidents that were reported to the UMBC Police Department and/or campus security partners during calendar year 2017, in categories specified by the Clery Act. Please note that the Clery Report tracks incidents based on location only—specifically those reported to have occurred on campus, in off-campus university buildings, in property owned or controlled by the university, or on public property immediately adjacent to the campus.

The report also includes information about UMBC policies and practices related to campus security and crime reporting. We encourage all members of our community to report security incidents; the Clery Report describes how and to whom crimes should be reported.

In addition, the report contains information on campus resources for those who have experienced a crime; personal safety tips; policies on topics including substance abuse, access to facilities, student discipline, and emergency response and evacuation; and fire safety reports and logs.

The UMBC Police Department appreciates that all members of our community—students, faculty, and staff—are essential partners in making UMBC a safe place to learn, live, and work. The UMBC community’s active interest in campus safety is one of our best crime prevention assets.

Paul Dillon, UMBC Chief of Police
