Sources of Statistics

Statistics published are based on crime reports made by University of California Police Department and incorporate crime statistics received from outside police agencies, including the City of Berkeley Police Department. The Clery Act also mandates that we collect information regarding incidents from “campus security authorities”, or CSAs.

CSAs can include, in addition to campus police officers, non-law enforcement entities such as those with responsibility for controlling access to buildings or facilities and those having "significant responsibility for student or campus activities.”

We solicit information, crime statistics, and comments from these campus departments and individuals

• Title IX Compliance Officer
• Gender Equity Resource Center
• Office of Student Development
• Center for Student Leadership (all student group/Greeks' advisors)
• Center for Student Conduct and Community Standards
• Medical Services Clinic
• CARE Services
• Social Services
• Health Promotion
• University Health Services Administration
• Military Affairs Program
• Intercollegiate Athletics & Recreational Sports (team coaches, program coordinators)
• the University Office of the President
• LBNL Security & Emergency Operations Department

After receiving notice of incidents that may be reportable crimes under the Jeanne Clery Act, non-police campus security authorities will disclose these incidents directly to UCPD by filling out a collection form which allows labelling with correct crime definitions and requests specific information (e.g., date, location, nature of offense, and any police report numbers if applicable). Such reports maintain confidentiality unless the victim has given permission to document identifying information or permission for the police to investigate.

Licensed counselors (including certified sexual assault victim counselors) and campus clergy (pastoral counselors) are exempt from immediate reporting requirements. UC Berkeley urges that all crimes under campus jurisdiction be reported to the University of California Police Department and encourages counselors and clergy, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform those they counsel of procedures for reporting crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual security report.
