Duke releases annual security and fire safety reports.

Each year, as mandated in the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) and the Clery Act, Duke University publishes an Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report. As part of compliance with federal regulations, Duke is also required to notify employees and students annually of its substance abuse policy and available resources.

Annual Security Report

The 2016 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 Duke University, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.

The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, including alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters.

You can obtain a print copy of this report by contacting the Duke Police Department at 919-684-4602 (502 Oregon Street, Durham, NC 27708) or by accessing the following website.

Annual Fire Safety Report

The HEOA also requires any institution that maintains an on-campus student housing facility to collect fire statistics, publish an Annual Fire Safety Report, and keep a "fire log."  To access this information, go to the following website.
