Crime Statistics

During the academic year, the Department of Safety and Security produces a weekly crime report summarizing criminal incidents, when a victim or other involved parties report the incident to safety and security.There is a log of these summarized incidents available for public review, located in theSafety and Securitysection of this website[s1].

The Student Life Office, in conjunction with the Department of Safety and Security, will make timely warning reports to the campus community regarding certain crimes that represent a continuing threat to the campus community.In addition to being posted in public areas, this information may be distributed by electronic mail.

In accordance with the Campus Security Act, Lake Erie College provides crime statistics and security information to current and prospective students, and current and prospective employees.These statistics include crimes that have taken place on campus, non-campus (Buildings and Grounds), and on neighboring public property (public streets, & sidewalks).The Safety and Security Department serves as the "clearing house" in the gathering of crime data and judicial referrals from those with "significant responsibilities for students and campus activities".Student Life and the Painesville Police are the other departments to report incidents of crime, and on a daily basis, all are in contact with Safety and Security.In addition, an annual report is requested from the Painesville Police Department, the Painesville Fire Department and Student Life Office.All gathered information is then compared to minimize multiple postings, and then incorporated in the following statistical tables:
