Annual Security Report
Section Navigation
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses for the previous three years annually by Oct. 1. Learn more about this important policy from the Clery Center.
As a reminder, the Annual Security Report lists the number of crimes that were reported on campus property or on property adjacent to campus. It is also important to understand that the numbers in this document account for when an incident was reported, not necessarily when an incident took place, which is how the Department of Education requires this report to be framed.

Geographical Area Covered in the Annual Security Report
Clery Act crime reporting is not strictly limited to events that occur on campus or within campus buildings and residences. Institutions must include statistics for crime that occur in any of these geographic areas:
- On-campus (anywhere)
- On-campus student housing
- Public property within campus bounds
- Public property immediately adjacent to the campus
- Noncampus buildings and property owned or controlled by the organization that are used for educational purposes and frequently used by students but not a part of the core campus, or those owned or controlled by a student organization officially recognized by the institution
Whitman's geography as defined for Clery Act purposes is detailed in the map below.
Daily Crime Log
Wherever crimes occur, campus police and public safety departments must maintain a daily crime log of all reported crimes that fall within their jurisdiction. This crime log must be made available to the public during daily business hours.
