the Annual Security Report Ensuring the safety and security of students, employees and visitors to campus remains a high priority at Kent State University. Please read the important information in this bulletin to learn more about the university’s policies, procedures, programs and statistics regarding safety and security, including valuable information about how to report and get help in the event safety is compromised. The “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act” (Clery Act) is a federal law originally enacted in 1990 amending the Higher Education Act of 1965. This law and its amendments require universities that receive federal funds to annually disseminate certain information regarding crimes that occur: on campus; on public property contiguous to campus; or on non-campus property owned or controlled by a student organization or by the university when used in support of the university’s educational purposes and frequented by students. The data in this report was compiled by Kent State’s Department of Public Safety, in collaboration with the Office of General Counsel and several other university departments. The city of Kent, Ohio, police department also was consulted regarding crime statistics, as well as other police departments representing jurisdictions that encompass Kent State remote locations. Kent State continues to be one of the nation’s safest college campuses when compared to others with similar populations and geographic areas. In June 2017, the Kent Campus was named the 25th safest campus in America and the safest campus in Ohio by the Council for Home Safety and Security. Kent State Police Services was the first university police department in Ohio accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Inc. (CALEA), and it is the only university police department in the country to receive Flagship status by CALEA a record three times. The university is proud to be a model for innovative safety education programs, including a residential security program with a student security escort service. This report, as well as reports specific to all of Kent State’s campuses, is available online on the Public Safety website. Printed copies of this report also can be obtained from the Kent State University Police Department, Stockdale Safety Building, 530 E. Summit. St., Kent, Ohio. 4 Kent Campus Safety and Security Bulletin | 2018 Report on 2017 Statistics 4 Reporting Criminal Offenses Important Numbers Department or Service Telephone Number Police, Fire, Medical Emergencies (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) 911 KSU Police Department Non-emergency (24/7) 330-672-2212 or 330-672-3070 City of Kent Police Department 330-673-7732 Kent Fire Department 330-676-7393 Poison Control 1-800-222-1222 Residential Security/Campus Safety Escort (8pm – 4am) 330-672-7004 330-672-SAFE Kent State
