The Clery Act-Campus Safety

The Clery Act is a federal statute requiring colleges and universities participating in federal financial aid programs to maintain and disclose campus crime statistics and security information.  Some specific requirements:

• Collect, report and disseminate crime data for certain crimes in and around the college campuses
• Develop policy statements regarding campus safety
• Prepare and distribute an annual security report
• Issue timely warnings and emergency notifications to the campus community
• Submit crime statistics to the Department of Education
• Create, maintain and make available a daily crime log

The Annual Security Report can be viewed by anyone and is located on the Campus Safety & Security webpage.  Front Range Community College notifies currently enrolled students as well as employees of the availability of the report each fall.

The daily crime log can be viewed by contacting The Department of Campus Security and Preparedness. Crime logs are maintained for the past 60 days. A request to view logs older than 60 days will be honored within two business days at any Campus Security and Preparedness location on each FRCC campus.

FRCC does not publish the name of crime victims or house identifiable information regarding victims in the Daily Crime Log.

A Campus Security Authority (CSA) is a college employee with significant responsibly for student and campus activities outside of normal classroom instruction. Examples of CSA's can be Academic Advisors, Financial Aid Advisors, Club Advisors, Student Affairs Deans and Campus Safety staff.   

Front Range Community College is required to report statistics and other information about Clery related crimes reported to any individual who has been identified as a Campus Security Authority (CSA).

• Partner in keeping our campus community safe

• Complete annual Campus Security Authority training

• Complete and return the annual Crime Statistics Form- Form must be completed and returned even if there are no crimes to report for the year

• Report crimes to Campus Security and Preparedness- Campus Security Authorities cannot take crime reports in confidence. If a crime is reported to a CSA, they must inform the person of their responsibility to report all crimes.

Front Range Community College utilizes the Standard Response Protocol (SRP). 

Emergency Procedure Guides are posted in classrooms, offices and conference and community rooms across all campuses and off campus sites.  The college also distributes additional emergency response information through email, brochures, single topic postings, flyers and in person presentations.

FRCC issues timely warning to the college community for specific Clery Act Crimes.  We may also issue timely warnings for non Clery Act crimes committed on college properties or within the community if there is an ongoing threat or other emergency situation reported on any FRCC campus, to local police or to a Campus Security Authority.  

Depending on the event, the college may issue a warning or notification on our campus website, through a voice over phone message or through a computer alert or general email.

The mission of the Department of Campus Security and Preparedness is to provide a safe and secure learning and working environment.  By becoming our partners, you can assist us in making our campus community a safer place.
