Letter from the President and Chief of Police

Fellow Red Raiders,

Our commitment to maintaining a safe and secure campus is unwavering. We regularly review and revise our safety protocols and adopt new initiatives, including our Raider Safety campaign. We encourage everyone on campus, including visitors, to familiarize themselves with Texas Tech’s resources for campus security, reporting requirements, and emergency procedures.

Our shared responsibility is to accurately and honestly report incidents and support those impacted by these actions. Your participation in these efforts helps ensure we achieve our safety and security goals and strengthens the prosperity of our entire campus community. Together, we can maintain a safe and secure campus for all Red Raiders. 

Dr. Lawrence Schovanec

Letter from the Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Risk and Compliance Officer

The Annual Security Report is one of the most tangible expressions of what compliance is for. It is not a checkbox. It is not a regulatory formality. It is information that real people — students, families, faculty, staff — use to make decisions about their safety and their lives. That is worth doing well, and I am proud of the work that goes into it across the Texas Tech University System every year.

The Clery Act exists to create transparency around campus safety — crimes, policies, procedures, and the resources available to every member of a university community. At the TTU System level, my office is responsible for building and maintaining a compliance program that supports all five of our component institutions. That means developing consistent frameworks, sharing resources and expertise across campuses, and making sure that compliance is treated as something that protects people, not just something that satisfies auditors.

None of this works without the Clery compliance officers embedded at each of our campuses. They are the ones doing the detailed, careful work of gathering data, maintaining records, training campus security authorities, and ensuring that what you read in this report is accurate and complete. My office supports and coordinates that work at the system level, but the people closest to each campus community are the ones who make it real.
