Which locations are required to be tracked for compliance with the Clery Act?

The requirement to track various locations for compliance with the Clery Act encompasses a broad spectrum. This includes "on-campus" locations where the institution itself operates, as well as public property that is immediately adjacent to the campus, such as streets or sidewalks that carry significant foot traffic related to the college community.

Additionally, any property that is owned or controlled by the institution fits within the compliance parameters. This is vital for ensuring that the institution is accountable for safety reporting in all areas where students and employees may be present, thus protecting the overall safety of the campus community.

Tracking crimes that occur in any or all of these locations means that the institution can provide accurate and comprehensive annual security reports, which are intended to inform students, staff, and potential students or employees about campus safety. This comprehensive approach aligns with the Clery Act’s objectives of increasing transparency and advancing safety measures on college campuses.
