Annual Security Report

In accordance with the Clery Act, Ë®¹ûÅÉAV½â˵publishes an annual security report disclosing campus security policies and three years of selected crime statistics, as well as information about crimes that might pose a threat to the community, basic rights that must be accorded to victims of sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking, and the college policy regarding alcoholic beverages and substance abuse. A printed copy of the report is available, upon request, at the Office of Campus Safety. Ë®¹ûÅÉAV½â˵'s Annual Security Report includes the Fire Safety Report.

Ë®¹ûÅÉAV½â˵ asks all employees who witness, learn of or hear about a Clery Act crime* to contact the office of campus safety and report what happened and where it happened. You may identify the victim or keep the victim’s identity confidential. Note that pastoral counselors and professional counselors are not required to report crimes unless they have a legal obligation to report a particular crime. For more information about your reporting obligations under Clery, please see the Clery Brochure (PDF).

Please remember:

  • just get the facts; you are not a detective and should not investigate the crime.
  • don’t worry about categorizing the crime – campus safety will do that.
  • don’t search for a perpetrator.
  • encourage the victim to report the crime to campus safety; but it is up to them to report.

To report a crime, use the or send an email to OfficeofCampusSafety@goucher.edu.

Ë®¹ûÅÉAV½â˵'s protocol with respect to issuing timely warnings and emergency notifications about crimes that occur on or near campus can be found in Timely Warning Protocols (PDF).
