Clery Act | Campus Crime & Housing Fire Logs

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or Clery Act is a federal statute codified at 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f), with implementing regulations in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations at 34 C.F.R. 668.46.

The Clery Act requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses. Compliance is monitored by the United States Department of Education, which can impose civil penalties, up to $62,689 per violation, against institutions for each infraction and can suspend institutions from participating in federal student financial aid programs.

The Southern University at New Orleans Police Department is required to maintain a public log of all crimes and fires reported to the department. The log is required to have the most recent 60 days’ worth of information. Each entry in the log must contain the nature, date, time, and general location of each crime and the disposition of the complaint if known. Information in the log older than 60 days must be made available within two business days. For more information concerning the daily crime log, or to view an older log that is not shown below, please contact the Southern University at New Orleans Police Department during normal business hours.

SUNOPD assigns a case number for all reportable activities, both criminal and non-criminal. Crimes are listed in chronological order.
