# Clery Act

The Clery Act (otherwise officially known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) is a federal law requiring US colleges and universities receiving Title IV funding to disclose information about particular crimes on and around their campuses as well as safety related policies. ISMMS publishes annual security reports to fulfill this requirement. These reports are available on the [ISMMS Consumer Information website](https://icahn.mssm.edu/education/students/consumer-information) as well as in the Security Department.
