Communication September 30, 2024

Dear Community,

We would like to share with you that the Annual Security Report and the Annual Fire Safety Report are available now on the American University Police Department’s website. We encourage all community members to review the reports and support our campus by becoming more informed of the resources available to maintain safety and security.

Annual Security Report
This report is based on our commitment to public safety and adherence to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act).

In this report, we outline AU’s institutional policies regarding campus safety and security, crime prevention, campus-wide communication, and reporting a crime. In addition, the report also includes crime statistics for the three previous calendar years that occurred on or surrounding campus and AU properties.

Annual Fire Safety Report
AU publishes an annual report outlining fire prevention policies and fire safety equipment within university-owned and operated residence halls, as mandated by the 2008 amendments to the Higher Education Opportunity Act. In addition, the report also includes statistics for all fire events that occurred in campus residence halls during the 2021-2023 calendar years.

The Office of Risk, Safety, and Transportation Programs, in partnership with AUPD and Housing and Residence Life, is committed to continuous improvement for fire safety within university residence halls.

To request a paper copy of the Annual Security Report or for questions, please contact AUPD at clerycompliance@american.edu.

Thank you for your time and attention in this regard.
