About

The University of Pittsburgh Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management, with assistance from the Office of University Communications and Marketing, gathers policy and crime information and prepares this report to help keep you safe and to provide information required by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, as well as the Pennsylvania Uniform Crime Reporting Act. This report is compiled using information reported to the University of Pittsburgh Police Department (Pitt Police) and all campus security authorities and information provided by other University offices such as Housing Services and Panther Central, as well as the Division of Student Affairs; Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; Office of Residence Life; Office of Student Conduct; Office of Facilities Management; and Department of Parking, Transportation, & Services. Pitt also uses services and crime information provided by the city of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. Each of these offices provides updated policy information and/or crime data.

This report is not a contract.

This report provides statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain non-campus buildings or property owned, leased, or controlled by the University of Pittsburgh, and on public property located on-campus or adjacent to the campus. This report also includes institutional policies concerning campus safety, such as policies regarding sexual assault and harassment, stalking, domestic and dating violence, alcohol, and other drugs.

The University distributes the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report by October 1 of each year to every member of the University community.

The following pages provide an overview of security facts and information that will be helpful to you. Everyone on campus should be safety conscious and follow security procedures. If you have any questions or need additional information, you may contact any of the departments mentioned in this brochure.

If you would like to have a paper copy of the report mailed to you, call 412-624-4040.
