Annual Security Report
2009-2010
Public safety is the responsibility of every member of this community, and we encourage the involvement of all community members in keeping Guilford College a safe and secure environment for education. It is the responsibility of each member of the Guilford College community to report the occurrence of a known crime to the Public Safety Office. To strike the appropriate balance between the needs of a crime victim and the need for crime reporting, The Jeanne Clery Act emphasizes the responsibility of those campus administrators who have significant responsibility for student and campus activities to report known crimes.
The information in this brochure is provided as part of Guilford College's commitment to security and safety on campus. The Jeanne Clery Act requires that Guilford College:
- Make timely warnings of Clery Act crimes that represent an on-going threat to the safety of students and employees.
- Maintain a public crime log.
- Disclose campus security policies, procedures and programs.
- Address the “Special Considerations: Policies regarding sex offenses and offenders.”
- Collect, count, and classify crime data.
- Submit annually, crime statistics to the Department of Education.
- Prepare and distribute by October 1 of each year an annual campus security report.
The Public Safety Office and the Office for Campus Life have worked together to present a document that will be useful to students, faculty and staff, as well as visitors to the Guilford College community. It is intended as a resource for information about the College's offices and services as they relate to the safety of our campus community, as well as to address concerns about crime issues.
