Crime Statistics

Jeanne Clery Disclosure Act
In 1990, the U.S. Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act (Title II of Public Law 101-542), which amended the higher education Act of 1965(HEA). This Act requires all post secondary institutions participating in the Title IV student financial aid programs to disclose campus crime statistics and other security information.

1998 Amendments renamed the law: The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Police and Campus Crime Statistics Act.

Students Right to Know and Annual Police Report

Procedure for reporting criminal actions and other emergencies on campus (Student's right know)
Life University maintains a fully staffed Police Department. This department monitors activities on campus 24-hours a day. Students and employees with concern over criminal actions on campus can contact the Police Department at (770) 426-2911. The department representative will initiate an Incident Report. We openly solicit the observations and concerns of our students, staff and all visitors when suspicious or criminal activity is observed on campus. We believe that with greater awareness we can help each person be better prepared to protect his or herself from crime. We also work closely with local law enforcement agencies to obtain and monitor criminal reports made to them. Life University also monitors reports for violations of law that are based on prejudices of race, religion, sex and ethnicity.

It is the policy of the Police Department to actively investigate all complaints and violations of state laws committed on our campus and to cooperate with all law enforcement agencies and courts. This may require the department to notify the office of Student Affairs of violations of law, which also violate university policy or codes of conduct.

Access to campus facilities
The Police Department monitors access to campus facilities through various activities designed to keep the students and employees in contact with the Police Officers. The buildings are patrolled by officers and unlocked at the appropriate time in the morning and re-locked each evening.
All users of the university facilities are encouraged to express concerns they have while on campus.
