The University of Rhode Island Annual Security, Crime Statistics and Fire Safety Report—known as the Clery Report—will be available to all members of the community on Sunday, Oct. 1. The report contains useful information about how the University works in partnership to educate all members of the community to be safe in their surroundings, help prevent crimes and promote fire safety. The report contains detailed information on how to report crimes as well as the response by the University to specific incidents, including sexual assault, reports of missing students, and alcohol and drug use.

This year’s report also contains a Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence Rights and Resources Guide. The Guide was created to provide survivors and their support systems with information about their rights and resources following an incident of sexual misconduct or interpersonal violence. The University does not tolerate sexual misconduct or interpersonal violence. Any student, visitor, faculty member or staff member who reports such an incident will have access to support and resources at the University as well as outside resources.

The report also defines crimes that are reportable under the Campus Security Act, known as the Clery Act. The report contains statistics for the calendar years 2022, 2021 and 2020 for all URI campuses and the Research Vessel Endeavor. The report also includes any fire reported in any on-campus housing on the Kingston Campus during the same time frame.

The report is compiled by URI’s Department of Public Safety with the assistance of the Dean of Students Office, the Office of Community Standards, Housing and Residential Life, and Enterprise Risk Management. The report will be available online on Oct. 1.

Hard copies of the report will be available at the URI Police Department at 85 Briar Lane on the Kingston Campus and in public safety’s administrative offices located at 44 Lower College Road. Copies will also be provided to internal stakeholders.

Please call Deputy Chief of Police Paul Ricci at 401-874-5478 with any questions regarding the report.
