Connecticut prepares this report in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act); the State of Connecticut Act Concerning Sexual Violence, Stalking, and Intimate Partner Violence on College Campuses; and An Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children’s Safety.1 This report includes statistics for calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016. These statistics pertain to crimes reported to have occurred upon the University’s Clery geography.2 Additionally, this report provides statistics for fires reported in on-campus student housing facilities. The report includes institutional policies on campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, sexual assault reporting and investigation, educational programming and other matters. Unless otherwise noted, the policies referenced in this report apply to the University’s main campus in Storrs as well as all regional campuses and the law school. For Clery reporting, it is important to note that during calendar year 2016, only the University’s main campus located at Storrs had student housing facilities. This report does not include statistics or other information regarding UConn Health located in Farmington, CT. That campus maintains a separate Division of Public Safety that prepares an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report for UConn Health. That report is available at http://police.uchc.edu/. The full text of this report is available online at: http://publicsafety.uconn.edu/. This report is prepared in cooperation with many University offices as well as local law enforcement. These entities provide updated information on their educational efforts and programs to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Campus crime, fire, arrest, and referral statistics include reports made directly to the University of Connecticut Police Department as well as those made to designated campus security authorities (CSA) as defined under the Clery Act, and
