Purpose of Crime Alerts

One responsibility of the Department of Public Safety is to inform the University community of serious crimes when they occur on campus and to aid in the prevention of similar incidents. The campus "Crime Alert" bulletin is utilized by the Department for the crimes of arson, aggravated assault, burglary, manslaughter, motor vehicle theft, murder, rape, robbery, and hate crime and are found posted on bulletin boards in academic and nonacademic buildings and both large and small living units. "Crime Alert" bulletins may also be issued for criminal incidents other than for those listed when the circumstances of the offense indicate a particular danger to the community.
