Adelphi University’s annual security report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Adelphi University; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, the emergency response plan, and other matters. This report can be viewed by using the Public Safety website at safety.adelphi.edu/publicsafety or obtained upon request in the Department of Public Safety and Transportation, first floor, Levermore Hall, 516.877.3500.
The United States Department of Education’s Website for campus crime statistics is ope.ed.gov/security.
