Beginning with calendar year 1999, the Annual Security Report of Colleges and Universities was modified from prior reports in order to comply with revisions mandated by Congress. The revisions, known as the Clery Act, require colleges and universities to provide much more information than was previously called for in annual reports. Some of the information enclosed in this report is also found in the Odessa College Catalog and Student Handbook.
In accordance with the requirements of the Jeanne Clery Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the Odessa College Police Department has compiled the Annual Crime Statistics and Fire Safety Report. This document includes, but is not limited to, information on the following:
- Policies and procedures incorporated in the College's response to safety and security issues
- Life safety and emergency notification systems
- Statistics on index crimes that occurred on and adjacent to our College facilities
- Statistics on evacuation drills & incidents of fire at on-campus residence halls
