Reporting
The Clery Act requires Universities to collect, disclose, and notify affiliates about alleged Clery Act crimes. To support this process, Campus SecurityÌýAuthorities (CSAs) are required to disclose any crime that is reported to them as soon as they learn about it. CSAs have multiple reporting options outlined below. When in doubt, CSAs should always make a report.
If there is an active threat/emergency, please call Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder Police Department: 9-1-1

Information Regarding Registered Sex Offenders
The Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, enacted on October 28, 2000, requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offendersÌýto register in a State to provide notice, as required under State law, of each institution of higher education in that State at which the person is employed, carries on a vocation, volunteers services or is a student.
Law enforcement information concerning registered sex offenders at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder may be obtained from CUPDs 'Records Section' during normal business hours. CUPD Records can be reached at (303)-492-5115. You may also view theÌý, and theÌý.
3. Office of Institutional Equity & Compliance (OIEC)
Individuals who have been subjected to protected-class discrimination or harassment, sexual assault or other forms of sexual misconduct, intimate partner violence (including dating or domestic violence), or stalking have several options for reporting. Depending on the nature of the alleged conduct, individualsÌýmay pursue a university process, a criminal process, both processes, or neither.
OIEC Resolution ProceduresÌýare separate and apart from any law enforcement or other court process, such as a civil law suit or criminal prosecution, that may be related to an incident reported to our office. TheÌýOffice of Victim AssistanceÌýcan confidentially talk through the different options for reporting a complaint to the university or to law enforcement, and assist with seeking medical assistance or orders of protection through the courts.
Please Note:ÌýIndividuals who are designated as CSAs may also have separate reporting requirements as responsible employees under the Sexual Misconduct, Intimate Partner Violence, and Stalking Policy and the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder Discrimination and Harassment Policy. Reporting a Clery crime through this website does not alleviate the requirement for responsible employees to report allegations to the OIEC.
