Crime log:
(a) Each postsecondary education institution shall make, keep, and maintain
a daily log, written in a form approved by the Council on Postsecondary
Education that can be easily understood, recording all crimes occurring
on campus and reported to campus security authorities or local law
enforcement agencies, including:
1.
The category of crime, and a description of the incident, date, time,
and general location of each crime; and
2.
The disposition of the complaint if known, including referral for
prosecution, institutional disciplinary proceedings, or investigation by
another state agency. The disposition shall include a reference to an
investigation or incident report number.
(b) All entries in the campus crime log shall be made available for public
inspection within twenty-four (24) hours after the first report of an incident
was made to any campus security authority or local law enforcement
officials.
1.
If there is clear and convincing evidence that the release of the
information would cause a suspect to flee or evade detection, would
result in the destruction of evidence, or is prohibited from release by
law, the information may be withheld until that damage is no longer
likely to occur from the release of the information. Only the
information that is absolutely necessary to withhold for the reasons
stated in this paragraph may be withheld; all other information shall
be released.
2.
In the event information is withheld under the provisions of
paragraph (a) of this subsection, the crime shall still be reported and
made available for public inspection.
(c) The campus crime log required by this section shall be readily accessible
and open for public inspection at all times and shall be made available on
campus computer networks to which students, employees, and other
campus community members have access. Each semester the institution
shall notify currently enrolled students, students applying to the institution,
and employees of the availability of the campus crime log, where it can be
accessed, and the exact electronic address on the computer network.
Special reports: In addition to the campus crime log, each postsecondary
education institution shall make timely reports to the campus community on
crimes reported to campus security authorities or local law enforcement
authorities determined by those authorities to present a safety or security threat
to students or employees.
(a) The reports shall be made available to students and employees within
twenty-four (24) hours after an incident is first reported.
(b) The information shall be reported in a manner that will aid in the
prevention of similar occurrences.
(c)
(d)
Institutions shall use computer networks and post the reports in each
residential facility. The institution may also use flyers and other campus
publications including newspapers, and other media.
Each institution shall adopt a policy to comply with this requirement and
the policy shall be included in the postsecondary education institution's
annual campus safety and security report published in compliance with
KRS 164.9485.
