2024 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 4 In the Clery statistics, KUPD includes crimes reported directly to the KUPD, local law enforcement agencies, and campus security authorities. (See Campus Security Authorities, page 61) Each year, the KUPD Lieutenant sends a letter to the associated law enforcement units with jurisdiction over any of Kutztown’s Clery Geography, requesting crime data for the previous calendar year (January 1 to December 31). The information returned from these agencies is reflected in the statistics included in this Annual Security Report. Once the Lieutenant gathers all the statistical data, the Lieutenant provides it to the Clery Compliance Coordinator who includes it in this Annual Security Report for publication. By October 1st of each year, the crime statistics are submitted to the U.S. Department of Education. Per applicable state and federal regulations, the University publishes and distributes crime statistics to all current students, faculty and staff annually. Every KU community member receives an e-mail that describes the ASR and provides its website address for viewing on or before October 1st of each year. Prospective employees receive the information through the candidate application process, and prospective students receive it through the admissions process. The full report may be downloaded from the KU website at www.kutztown.edu/clery. Paper copies of the report may be requested by contacting the Clery Compliance Coordinator via email at clery@kutztown.edu or calling Business Services at 610-683-4825. Written requests may also be sent to: Kutztown University Clery Compliance Coordinator, 223G Stratton Administration Center, Kutztown University, Kutztown, PA 19530.
