The Campus Crime Reporting and Disclosure (CCRD)
The Campus Crime Reporting and Disclosure (CCRD) uses much of the original language of the Campus Crime Act, and requires institutions of higher education to send their crime statistics to the Secretary of Education annually. CCRD also requires colleges and universities that have security or police departments to keep a chronological record of each crime reported to the department on a daily basis. This chronological record must include several details of each reported crime, such as the date, time, nature, general location, and the disposition of the complaint. CCRD requires that these records be made open to the public within two business days of the initial report unless such disclosure is prohibited by law, would jeopardize the safety of an individual, compromise an ongoing investigation, or would cause evidence to be destroyed or a suspect to flee.
