7 2024 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT confidential. With their permission, the Chief or a KUPD designee can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing the alleged victim's identity. In limited circumstances, the Department may not be able to assure confidentiality and will inform the reporter in those cases. Information is confidential during the investigative phase, except as law requires. Reports of sexual violence or other sex or genderbased reports will be reported to the Title IX Coordinator and cannot be held in confidence. KU will investigate the report further when it is deemed appropriate. Applicable KU incident reports are forwarded to appropriate campus departments for review and potential action. ANONYMOUS REPORTING OF CRIMES For any suspicious activity or circumstance that could cause an emergency and necessitate an emergency alert to campus, persons should contact KUPD at (610) 683-4001. Persons wishing to report non-emergency information anonymously may dial extension 3-8477 (TIPS) from an on-campus phone. Students and employees should report criminal offenses to KUPD to make timely warning reports and this annual statistical disclosure. From off-campus and cellular phones, individuals may call Crime Alert Berks County’s anonymous tip line at (877) 373-9913, use their mobile phone to send an anonymous tip by texting 847411 and starting their message with the word ALERTBERKS followed by their tip, or downloading the ALERTBERKS app from iTunes or Google Play. Those who offer the tips may be eligible to receive a cash reward for valuable tips. Individuals on campus may also report crimes to a designated Campus Security Authority. CRIME VICTIM INFORMATION All publicly available record-keeping will be maintained without including personally identifiable information about the victim of a crime. DAILY CRIME LOGS The Department of Public Safety maintains a daily crime log containing information about all alleged criminal incidents on the Kutztown University campus. This log identifies the type, general location, date and time reported to KUPD, date and time it occurred, and current disposition, if known, of each incident reported to KUPD. The Daily Crime Log is posted each business day. It can be viewed on a bulletin board outside the Public Safety Communication Center (15 Old Main) and a bulletin board off the main lobby in the McFarland Student Union. Daily logs are also maintained and available for public inspection during regular and published business hours in the administrative office of the Department of Public Safety and Police Services/KUPD located at Old Main I-Wing. The crime log contains information about incidents reported in the past 60 calendar days. Any crime log information older than 60 days will be made available within two business days of a request for public inspection. CRIMES INVOLVING RECOGNIZED STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AT OFF-CAMPUS LOCATIONS Kutztown University is unaware of any officially recognized student organization that owns or controls buildings or property with non-campus locations, including student housing. Furthermore, KU is unaware of any situation where local police monitor and document criminal activity in which students engage at non-campus locations of student organizations officially recognized by KU. Suppose KU is made aware of crimes or behavior exhibited by members of a registered student organization that violate conduct standards or university regulations, on or off campus. In that case, KU will allow the organization to respond to any misconduct allegation through a review process for student organizations. Conduct standards and jurisdictional parameters defined in the Student Code of Conduct are used to determine if a violation by a registered student organization has occurred. Campus Security Authorities As the Clery Act requires, colleges and universities must compile and publish crime, fire and security
