REPORTS OF CRIME TO THE COMMUNITY

Numerous efforts are made to advise members of the community on a timely basis about campus crime and crime-related problems. These efforts include the following:

1. ANNUAL REPORT – A comprehensive annual report of crime-related information is compiled.  It is published on the UNC Police Department web site, and contains all crime statistics.  It is available to anyone via the Internet at http://www.unco.edu/police/
2. NEWSPAPERS – The Police Department maintains a news release reading board. It contains a crime log and officer activity reports. The records are available to the media and citizens as public record in compliance with Colorado Open Records laws.  The campus newspaper, The Mirror, and various local news media check this resource several times a week.
3. SPECIAL ALERTS – If circumstances warrant it, special news releases are prepared and the news media are informed of critical information.  In addition, flyers may be printed and sent to all departments on campus and/or posted in buildings. Another resource is the use of "electronic mail" via the campus computer network.  In this case, "crime alerts" are issued with the request that they be shared with everyone in the department and that professors announce the alert at the beginning of classes that day.
4. POLICE LOG – The Police Department maintains a "police log" that briefly denotes crimes and activity on campus. It is available to anyone to view at the Police Department.
