Rather, Berklee simply intends to consolidate publicly available information for students to review and consider while studying in Valencia. A MESSAGE FROM THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY As the Senior Director of Public Safety, I am responsible for the leadership, management, planning, organization, and administration of the Berklee Public Safety Department (“BPS” or the “Department”). In addition to coordinating safety and security services provided to the Berklee (or the “college”) community, I am the college’s liaison with local, state, and federal law enforcement and safety agencies. It is also my responsibility to see that the college’s students, faculty, staff, and visitors recognize that the Department is a resource that is available to all members of the Berklee community. The federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the “Clery Act”), 20 U.S.C. § 1092, requires that certain colleges and universities publish an annual report concerning various campus safety-related policies and procedures. As the senior director of Public Safety, it is my responsibility to oversee preparation and publication of this report by the Operations Department at the Valencia campus. The Department assembles statistics for this report based on its own records, communications with the Palau de les Arts Security Department, the Student Affairs Office, local law enforcement, and information derived from other various campus security authorities at the Valencia campus. These communications are directed at acquiring information necessary to the college’s effort to disclose annual crime statistics to the Berklee community concerning our Valencia location. Following is Berklee Valencia’s 2014 Annual Security Report. Paper copies of this report are available upon request, and the report is available online at berklee.edu/sites/ default/files/ValenciaASR.pdf. An email notification is sent to all active Valencia students, faculty, and staff that provide a direct web link to this report. Requests for paper copies of the report may be submitted via email to [email protected], or made in person at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia–Anexo Sur, Avenida Profesor Lopez Pinero, 1, 46013 Valencia, Spain. Prospective employees and students may similarly obtain copies of the report through direct requests to the Public Safety Department. As it is with your experience at our Boston campus, your safety and well-being are important features of your overseas experiences in Valencia, and your welfare while abroad is every bit as important to the college as it is when you are in Boston. Please review the safety-related information and statistics in this report, and please remember that while you study in Spain, you are subject to Spanish laws. On behalf of Berklee, I thank you for choosing to study and work at the Valencia campus, and I encourage you to call upon the Public Safety Department or those at the Valencia campus whenever necessary. Berklee is committed to the goal of providing a safe campus environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors; however, each of us must also take personal responsibility for our own safety, as well as the safety of those around us. And please remember one fundamental rule of crime prevention: If you see something, say something. Best wishes for a healthy and successful year at Berklee’s Valencia campus. Roy J.
