Campus Safety & Security Information

The Annual Security Report is published annually by October 1. It contains the three most recent calendar years of crime statistics and outlines security policy statements, including sexual assault policies. The crime statistics include incidents occurring on campus, in on-campus student housing areas, on public property within the campus and immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus, and on certain non-campus facilities.

The crime statistics are gathered from the UTMB Police Department’s crime reports and other designated UTMB campus security authorities who have significant responsibility for students and campus activities. Crime statistics are also gathered from the Galveston, League City, Houston, and Angleton police departments.

The Daily Crime Log is designed to disclose crime information on a timelier basis than the annual statistical disclosures. The log is open to public inspection upon request during normal business hours. The log is updated within two business days of an incident being reported and includes all criminal incidents, and all alleged criminal incidents reported to UTMB PD that occurred within the patrol jurisdiction of UTMB PD for the most recent 60-day period. Any portion of the Crime Log that is older than 60 days is available within two business days of a request for public inspection.

The consequences of drug and alcohol abuse can be devastating and widespread. UTMB offers a web publication that provides information on the most commonly abused drugs, discusses consequences of that abuse, and outlines the university, state, and federal penalties for such abuse. More importantly, it tells readers where to turn for help if they or someone they know is dependent on these substances.
