Campus Security: A Shared Responsibility

James Madison University is committed to providing members of the JMU campus community with the safest and most secure environment possible, however, even the most extensive initiatives cannot succeed without the awareness and cooperation of the community members who work, study, and live on campus.

The Annual Security and Fire Safety report includes the Harrisonburg - main campus and the  Antwerp, London and Florence university campuses. It provides statistics of reported crimes that occurred on-campus, in certain off-campus buildings, property owned or controlled by James Madison University and public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from each respective campus for the last three years. These reports are provided by the James Madison University Police Department as required by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), codified as 20 U.S.C.§1092(f) in 1989. The reports also provide fire statistics for James Madison University residence Halls for the last three years.

The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report contains information regarding campus security and personal safety including topics such as: crime prevention, the university police law enforcement authority, crime reporting policies, disciplinary procedures, protocols for the immediate notification of students and staff upon confirmation of a significant emergency on campus and other matters of importance related to security and safety. The report includes statistics for the most recent three-year period of reported crimes that have occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by JMU or its affiliates; and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.

The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report includes campus housing fire statistics for the most recent three-year period, a description of each on-campus student housing facility fire safety system, the number of fire drills held during the previous calendar year, policies or rules on portable electrical appliances, smoking, and open flames in student housing; and procedures for student housing evacuation in the event of fire along with other fire safety information.
