CRIME STATISTICS

The Clery Act also requires colleges and universities to keep a daily crime log. The purpose of this log is to provide criminal or alleged criminal activity that is reported to LSU Health Shreveport University Police Department. Crime log case report numbers do not run sequentially. LSU Health Shreveport University Police Department assigns a case report number for all reportable activities, both criminal and non-criminal. Only case numbers generated for criminal activity are listed in the crime log and are listed in order by date and time reported. Note:  The crime log will not normally match the crime statistics reported in the Annual Security Report, as the crime log entries include all crimes not just Clery Act crimes, reported to LSU Health Shreveport University Police. 

The crime log includes Case #, Date/Time Reported, Location, Occurrence Date/Time, Incident Type, and Disposition. Crimes must be entered into the crime log within two (2) business days after the crime has been reported to LSU Health Shreveport University Police Department. Limited information may be temporarily withheld from the daily crime log if it is determined by clear and convincing evidence that the release of the information would jeopardize an ongoing investigation or the safety of an individual, cause a suspect to flee or evade detection, or result in the destruction of evidence. 

The daily crime log also includes reports received from CSAs and local law enforcement agencies in response to the annual request for Clery crimes reported to them for the previous calendar year. CSA and local law enforcement agency reports are reviewed by the Clery Compliance Coordinator and are evaluated for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. Because these reports may not have been reported to UPD by the victim, UPD may not investigate them, and they may lack complete details typically included in the daily crime log. These incidents are added to the daily crime log within two days of receipt with the reported date. The reported date is the day that UPD received the report and not the date the incident was originally reported to a CSA or local law enforcement agency.
