Clery Act
The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to disclose details and issue safety alerts about crime on and around campus.
Another key requirement of the Clery Act is the issuance of crime alerts to the campus community on crimes considered to be a serious or continuing threat to University community members that are reported to Campus Security Authorities, University Police and local law enforcement agencies.
Safety Alerts
A “Campus Safety Alert” is issued via email when a Clery Act crime occurs within Bradley University’s Clery Act geography but does not require immediate action by recipients. A “Community Advisory Alert” is issued via email when serious criminal activity occurs outside of Bradley University Clery Act geography and does not require immediate action by recipients, or when serious criminal activity that does not meet the Campus Safety Alert criteria occurs within the Bradley University Clery Act geography and does not require immediate action by recipients.
Crime Log
Effective January 1, 2024: The daily crime log is maintained in accordance with the federal Clery Act and is meant to give you information about all criminal incidents (in accordance with Illinois Compiled Statutes) reported to BUPD in the university patrol area during the last 60 days. Please note non-criminal incidents are not recorded on the crime log, therefore case numbers may not be sequential. The BUPD maintains the information in an electronic format and the information is available as a physical copy. The physical crime log copy for the most recent 60 days is available at any time during business hours (Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except University holidays) at the Bradley University Police Department (1200 W Main St, Peoria, IL 61606).
Fire Log
This log lists information about fires occurring in campus residential facilities over the last 60 days.

Campus Security Authorities (CSA)
The Clery Act identifies certain categories of students, University employees and contractors as CSAs who have federally mandated responsibilities to report alleged Clery Act crimes that they witness or are reported to them. A Clery Act crime is considered “reported” to the University when it is brought to the attention of a CSA, University Police or local law enforcement personnel by a victim, offender, witness or other third party. The crime reporting party need not be University affiliated.
The University requires CSAs to notify the Bradley University Police Department about crime information as soon as they become aware of it by completing a CSA Report form. CSAs should not investigate crimes or attempt to determine whether a crime occurred. (Please note – if the Bradley University Police respond to the scene, your reporting requirement is met and you are not required to complete the form.)
If you have any questions, please contact the University’s Clery Compliance Coordinator at the Bradley University Police Department at (309) 677-1002.
