Every year, Houston Community College releases a new Clery report that contains crime information for all fifteen campuses. This report informs students, both current and prospective, of any crime happenings over the past year(s).

In the 74-page report, it explains what crimes have been committed over the past year, as well as where did it occurred. Incidents such as burglary, theft, domestic violence, and disorderly conduct are reported.

Clery reports are mandated by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or simply known as the Clery Act. This was a law signed in 1990 after a 19-year-old Lehigh University student of the same name who was raped and murdered in her campus hall of residence in 1986. Clery’s parents claimed that the university did not share vital information on crime statistics, which would have changed the course of their daughter’s decision to attend the school.

Thus, after numerous controversies, the Clery Act was signed into law in 1990. This mandates all colleges and universities participating in federal financial aid programs to release crime data and statistics to all students and faculty, making them aware of their surroundings.

If you need to report something, call Houston Community College Police Department at (713) 718-8888 or dial 911 if it’s an emergency.
