Humboldt State University has released its annual crime report for 2017 under a federal law known as the Clery Act.

Enacted in 1990, The Clery Act requires colleges and universities that receive federal funding to disclose campus safety information. The law also imposes certain basic requirements for handling incidents of sexual violence and emergency situations.

For the 23 campuses in the California State University system, the report, which includes statistics for the last three years, reveals crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by CSU, and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.

The report also provides institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters.

The report also lists HSU security awareness resources such as the ResLife Handbook, Campus Health & Safety Program, Women's Self-Defense Class, and CHECK IT -- HSU’s innovative prevention program aimed at creating conversations about ways students can disrupt and respond in the moment to violence they may witness.

The report can be viewed online at http://police.humboldt.edu/clery-act-report.
