The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, Columbia University Public Safety publishes an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR) by October 1st of every year.  This report provides important information about campus safety, security policies, emergency procedures, crime prevention programs, and fire safety practices across Columbia’s campuses. It also includes statistics for reported Clery Act crimes and on-campus housing fire incidents from the past three years. The ASFSR is an essential resource for current and prospective students, employees, and visitors who want to understand the University's commitment to campus safety. 

We encourage you to review the report and learn more about the resources and services available to help keep our community safe. A printed copy of the report is also available upon request at any Public Safety Operations Center.
