• Publish an annual report every year by October 1 that contains three years of campus crime statistics and certain campus security policy statements;

• Provide "timely warning" notices of those crimes that have occurred and pose an ongoing "threat to students and employees;" 
• Disclose in a public crime log "any crime that occurred on campus, or within the patrol jurisdiction of the campus Public Safety Department and that which is reported to the campus Public Safety Department."
