Although located in an urban setting, the Peabody campus presents a safe environment. We are committed to informing the campus community of incidents that may occur on and around the campus. Notices are posted at various locations on campus and also distributed electronically.
Security Alerts are posted on bulletin boards in all academic and residential halls and in other conspicuous areas to immediately alert the campus community of any serious crimes that have occurred on or near the campus. The Campus Security Department sends alerts as quickly as possible after becoming aware of crimes that might affect the campus community.
Security Advisories are published and posted on bulletin boards to inform the community of crimes outside of the areas covered by the Security Alerts. Advisories may also be issued to advise of crime trends. They include information on precautionary measures to prevent further occurrences of a particular crime.
A daily crime log is maintained and is available for public view in the Campus Security Office. An online version of the Peabody Institute crime log may be found at this link: Peabody Institute Crime Log. Crime logs for other JHU campuses may be found here: https://publicsafety.jhu.edu/clery-and-crime-data/. The Peabody Institute Fire Log may be found at this link: Peabody Institute Fire Log.
The Johns Hopkins University Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is available on the University’s website at http://security.jhu.edu/_template-assets/documents/annual_report.pdf .
In keeping with the mandates of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), the University’s Annual Report contains statistics of certain crimes that are reported and that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the University or an officially recognized student organization, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus for the three most recent calendar years. Also included are campus security policies including those related to missing student notifications, alcohol and drug use, sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, and fire safety policies and statistics. All Johns Hopkins faculty, staff and students are encouraged to read and print out the report at http://security.jhu.edu/_template-assets/documents/annual_report.pdf and to report all criminal incidents promptly to your respective security department.
