Accessing Campus Crime Reports

The University of Pittsburgh Police Department prepares a daily log of all reported incidents, and publishes that log on the police Web site at www.police.pitt.edu. This log contains the nature, time, and general location of each crime, as well as its disposition, if known.

Q: Where can I find crime reports?
A: In addition to Web site accessibility, the daily crime log is provided to the Pitt News, and monthly crime tips are reported to the Pitt News for dissemination to the University of Pittsburgh community.

Q: What other crime reports are available?
A: Crimes reported to the University of Pittsburgh Police Department are submitted monthly to the Pennsylvania State Police for inclusion in the Uniform Crime Report. The Pitt police also submit an annual report of crime statistics to the Department of Education; statistics are gathered from the following sources:

Pitt police;
City police and Pitt-affiliated hospitals in the Oakland area; and
Student life and residence life, Student Health Service, University Counseling Center, deans of students, and other applicable University of Pittsburgh officials who have significant responsibility for campus life and activities.

Q: Are there any reports that show Pitt’s crime statistics over a longer period?
A: Yes. In compliance with the Pennsylvania College and University Security Information Act (PA Act 73 of 1988) and the federal Jeanne Clery Act, the Pitt police generate a three-year statistical report, which is included in this publication. This report is distributed to all current students, staff, and faculty, while prospective students and employees are notified of its existence and afforded an opportunity to request and receive a copy.
