Annual Crime and Fire Report

Annual Campus Security And Fire Report
Portions of this report are provided in compliance with U.S. Department of Education Rules and Regulations CFR 34, Part 668.46 which is commonly referred to as the Jeanne Clery Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act as enacted August 14, 2008. Paper copies of this report are available upon request from the Spelman College Department of Public Safety, 350 Spelman Lane, SW, Atlanta, GA 30314, (404)525-6401.

Spelman College requires the Department of Public Safety to compile this report annually, employing the current guidelines established by the US Department of Education. To create this report, statistical data is collected from individuals serving in the positions listed below who have been designated as Campus Security Authorities as defined by the Jeanne Clery Act.
No student organizations recognized by the College maintain off campus buildings as housing facilities or sites where activities are routinely held. As a result no data is reported for this category.
The Spelman College Department of Public is a police agency governed by the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training Council. Georgia law empowers officers who are certified by the Georgia POST Council to exercise police and arrest powers on the campus and within one quarter mile on public streets leading to and from the campus.

At present State law precludes private institutions like Spelman from entering into formal mutual aid agreements with governmental police agencies. Although no formal agreement exist our Public Safety Department maintains a strong working relationship with the Atlanta Police Department and by practice major crimes that require extensive investigative resources are handled by that department. Additionally, the department works closely with the police departments at each of the Atlanta University Center institutions and the other law enforcement agencies that service our area.
