Three of the main requirements of The Clery Act for institutions focus on disclosure of certain timely and annual information about campus crime and security policies. These three requirements are explained below and include the responsibility to collect, classify, and count crimes, issue campus alerts, and publish an Annual Security Report. We will review each of these requirements in more detail throughout the training.

Requirements
The Clery Act requires that every institution must:
Collect, classify, and count crime
The first major requirement that the University must comply with is the responsibility to collect, classify, and count crimes. The Clery Act requires institutions to disclose three general categories of crime statistics: criminal offenses, hate crimes, and arrests and referrals for disciplinary action, if they occurred in a Clery geographic location.
Issue Campus Alerts
The next requirement under the Clery Act calls for the issuance of campus alerts when a serious or ongoing threat has been identified. There are two types of campus alerts under the Clery Act: a Timely Warning and an Emergency Notification.
Publish an annual security report
The third requirement is that the University publish an Annual Security Report by October First of each year. This report provides statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred in a Clery geographic location. This report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security.
