Jeanne Clery Act

"In November 1990, the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act (Title II, Public Law 101-542) was signed into law. This law requires universities to produce and make available certain policy statements and statistics about campus crime. In November of 1999 this Act was renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or simply The Clery Act. It is the policy of N.C. A&T State University Police Department to publish by October 1st of each school year an Annual Security Safety Report that informs current students and employees of its safety and security policies, procedures and practices. Our annual report also discloses statistics from the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property either owned or controlled by the University and owned or controlled by student organizations recognized by the University, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.
