Clery Act Security Information:Table of Contents

In compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act enacted Nov. 8, 1990, later formally renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, and commonly referred to as simply the Clery Act, the Brookhaven College Police Department collects and publishes specific information on campus crime statistics, security policies and services. This information is summarized in this document. The Brookhaven College Police Department is service-oriented, trained in professional standards and dedicated to the safety and comfort of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. Our primary concern is to protect life and property to allow the educational process to evolve safely.

  • Members of the campus community should call 9-1-1 to report a crime or an emergency from campus phones.
  • Calls for police service of a routine nature also should be directed to 9-1-1 on campus or 972-860-4290 from off-campus.

Policy for Reporting the Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics

The Brookhaven College Police prepares this report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act.

This report is prepared in cooperation with the local law enforcement agencies surrounding our main campus. Each entity provides updated information on their educational efforts and programs to comply with the Act. Campus crime, arrest and referral statistics include those reported to the Brookhaven College Police, designated campus officials (including but not limited to directors, deans, department heads, designated staff, judicial affairs, advisors to students/student organizations, athletic coaches), and local law enforcement agencies. Mandatory reporting to the local law enforcement agency by health care practitioners (such as those at Student Health Services) when they provide medical services to a person they know or reasonably suspects is suffering from wounds inflicted by a firearm or is a result of assault or abusive conduct.

The Advising and Counseling Center staff members inform their clients of the procedures to report crime to the Brookhaven College Police on a voluntary or confidential basis, should they feel it is in the best interest of the client. Copies of the Jeanne Clery Act report may also be obtained at the Brookhaven College Police Department Headquarters located in Building B, Room B200, or by calling 972-860-4290.
