Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (also known as the "Clery Act") requires colleges to compile and publish campus security policies, as well as statistics on certain criminal offenses that occur on or adjacent to college properties. Berklee's Public Safety Department publishes this report annually to inform the campus community of Berklee's safety- and security-related policies, procedures, and programs. The statistics are gathered for buildings owned or controlled by Berklee, and are provided for this report by the Boston Police Department, Berklee's Division of Student Affairs, and other campus security authorities.

Campus Security Authorities

The Clery Act requires colleges to compile and publish statistics on certain criminal offenses that occur on or adjacent to college properties. Although Berklee strongly encourages everyone to report any crime to the Public Safety Department, there may be instances where the reporting party only wants to report a serious crime to another college official. Clery defines these officials as a campus security authority, or CSA. Colleges are required to identify these specific employees who might receive these serious crime reports.
