Crime Statistics
The federal government mandates the disclosure of certain crime statistics so that students, employees, and families can be educated about the safety of college campuses.
Please be aware that these are statistics for the most severe forms of crime. Students should still be vigilant about their personal safety and take care of their personal possessions.
A guard is available 24 hours a day and is stationed by the front
entrance of the Goldsmith campus. The guards make regularly scheduled rounds of the building and its perimeter. Please contact the guards immediately at x6965 if you need assistance. If you need the Los Angeles Police Department or paramedic assistance, dial 911.
Incident Report forms are available from the Office of Student Affairs or the Security Desk and should be used to report any crime against person or property.
The links below detail the crime statistics, as reported to the Dean of Student Affairs for the Goldsmith Campus, Fashion Design, El Segundo Campus, and the Santa Monica campus, and are provided in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The reports include statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on-campus, in certain off-campus buildings, and on public property on public property within a designated city zone. (Goldsmith Campus: Zone 1483; California Mart: Zone 0174).
The Crime Reports are prepared in cooperation with the local law enforcement agencies surrounding our campuses, the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs who oversees housing, the Dean of Student Affairs responsible for student conduct, and the Director of Operations, who oversee campus security.
Each year an e-mail notification is sent to all currently enrolled students, staff, and faculty that provides the internet information to access the reports.
The data presented in the Crime Reports is believed to be accurate as of September 2008.
To request a hard copy of the campus crime statistics, please contact Julie Bryan, Assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs at (310) 665.6960 or jbryan@otis.edu.
