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) and Capitol Campus Department of Public Safety (CCDPS) disseminate public safety alerts to faculty, staff and students, produce an annual crime report and maintain logs of reported criminal incidents.

In addition to the Georgetown University Police Department and the Capitol Campus Department of Public Safety, there are two other law enforcement agencies, which operate on the Georgetown University campuses Georgetown University Hospital Security and the Conference Center Loss Prevention Office. There are also a number of campus security authorities that are responsible for reporting incidents of alleged crimes on and near campus to the Department of Public Safety.
This report form is to be used by Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) to report crimes consistent with the Clery Act. CSAs filing out reports will receive an email providing the Georgetown University Police Department (GUPD) and Capitol Campus Department of Public Safety (CCDPS) the CSA Crime Report case number associated with their reported incident. Note: If the CSA can verify that GUPD or CCDPS responded and took an incident report, then it is not necessary for the CSA to complete and submit this form.
