In compliance with the "Timely Notice" provisions of the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998 the James Madison University Police are required to give a timely notice for Clery Act crime (criminal homicide, sex offenses, robbery involving force or violence, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft and major cases of arson) that occurs on Clery geography which includes the JMU campus, non-campus property (property owned or controlled by the University or a recognized student organization not on the main campus), and public property (property within or immediately adjacent to campus) that is reported to a campus security authority or a local law enforcement agency and is considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees. Incidents will be evaluated by the Chief of Police or his designee, on a case-by-case basis to determine if a serious or ongoing threat to the community exists. Timely notices may also be posted for other crime classifications, as deemed necessary for crimes occurring in Clery geography.  Until the investigation of the specific act has been concluded, it can  be assumed that conditions continue to exist that may pose a threat to  members and guests of the community.
