Policies
Georgetown University Police Department is dedicated to protecting all students, staff, faculty, and community members. To foster a safe, transparent, and welcoming environment across our Hilltop and Capitol campuses, we maintain and adhere to a clear set of institutional policies and federal compliance standards.
Crime Statistics & Clery Compliance
The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, commonly referred to as the Clery Act, requires higher education institutions to:
- Collect, report and disseminate crime data to the campus community and the U.S. Department of Education;
- Provide timely warnings of reported crimes that represent a threat to the safety of students or employees; and
- Make public their campus security policies.
To be in compliance with this legislation, the Georgetown University Police Department (GUPD) disseminates public safety alerts to faculty, staff and students, produce an annual crime report and maintain logs of reported criminal incidents.
