Which authority is typically responsible for maintaining the daily crime log?

The campus security department is typically responsible for maintaining the daily crime log. This requirement is outlined in the Clery Act, which mandates that institutions of higher education document and make accessible records of criminal incidents that occur on or near their campuses. The daily crime log provides transparency and informs the campus community about safety issues.

The campus security department is tasked with the enforcement of campus safety measures and is usually the entity that collects and organizes data on criminal activities as they occur. This log must include the nature, date, time, and general location of each incident, ensuring that it is updated daily.

Other entities such as local law enforcement, the student affairs office, or the dean of students may play roles in campus safety and student welfare, but they do not have the primary responsibility for the crime log, which is specifically designated to the campus security department in compliance with Clery Act regulations.
