Daily Crime Log
Welcome to West Chester University's Online Daily Crime Log. An institution that maintains a campus police or a campus security department must maintain a written, easily understood daily crime log that records, by the date the crime was reported, any crime that occurred within its Clery geography, and that is reported to the campus police or the campus security department. This log must include—
(i) The nature, date, time, and general location of each crime; and
(ii) The disposition of the complaint, if known.
A campus must maintain a Daily Crime Log accurately reflecting reported crime for the most recent 60-day period, open to public inspection, free of charge, and produced upon request during normal business hours.
The Logs for each location reflect crimes reported during the most recent 60-day period on each campus. The Department of Public Safety also maintains a paper crime log located in Dispatch at Public Safety.
For West Chester's Graduate Center location the crimes in the Daily Crime Log are those reported to either a Campus Security Authority or the West Goshen Township Police Department.1

REFERRED TO STUDENT CONDUCT- The matter is referred for a violation of the West Chester University Student Code of Conduct. For Clery Act purposes a matter is considered 'Referred' when "a person is referred to any campus official who initiates a disciplinary action of which a record is kept and which may (but does not have to) result in the imposition of a sanction."
