At SAFE Campuses, LLC, we deliver Clery Classification, Counting & Data Accuracy Support that goes far beyond one-time audits. Our multidisciplinary team works directly alongside your campus safety, police, and compliance staff — combining thorough independent reviews with real-time collaborative guidance — so accurate classification and counting decisions are made correctly from the moment an incident is reported.
Accurate Clery data is the foundation of campus safety transparency. One misclassified offense, incorrect geography determination, or incomplete Daily Crime Log can trigger Department of Education findings and fines of up to $71,545 per violation.
The Pain Point
Inaccurate crime classification and counting remains one of the most frequent — and expensive — Clery Act violations. Misunderstanding Clery geography, improper “unfounded” determinations, missing Campus Security Authority (CSA) reports, or incomplete Daily Crime Logs routinely lead to program review findings, reputational damage, and six-figure penalty exposure. Many campuses lack the specialized expertise and internal bandwidth to consistently apply the complex federal criteria across every incident report.
Our Targeted Solution
Our Clery Classification, Counting & Data Accuracy Support is a comprehensive partnership that includes both detailed audits and ongoing, hands-on collaboration. We review your processes, identify gaps, and work directly with your team in real time to make accurate classification, counting, and reporting decisions — building your internal capability while ensuring full compliance.
