Numerous efforts are made to advise members of the campus community on a timely basis, about campus crime and crime related problems.

These efforts include:

Annual Report:  A comprehensive Annual Report of crime related information is compiled, published and widely distributed. This Annual Report is available to any member of the campus community. The information included in the Annual Report is available on the Campus Security Web page.

Student Newspaper:  The student newspaper, The Hilltop, publishes a summary of criminal incidents. The summary is prepared by the Campus Security Department.

Special Alerts:  If circumstances warrant, special printed Crime Alerts can be prepared and distributed, either selectively or throughout the campus.
