All crimes should be reported immediately to the police. For crimes occurring on campus, call Miami University Police; for crimes occurring off campus, call the city police.

Miami University Police, 529-2222

Oxford Police, 523-4321

Hamilton Police, 868-5811

Middletown Police, 425-7700

Confidentiality

Crimes reported to counselors at the Student Counseling Services, the Psychology Clinic, or to a physician or nurse at the Health Services Center are confidential by law. Some off-campus reports may also be legally confidential — e.g., to clergy, the Community Counseling and Crisis Center, and McCullough-Hyde Hospital.

Reports that are confidential by law will not be reported to the University for inclusion in our annual crime statistics report. Because of the Ohio public records law, Miami does not have a policy that permits the confidential reporting of crimes for inclusion in the annual crime statistics report. Crimes that are reported to the following individuals or offices are included in our annual crime statistics report:


Oxford Campus

• Miami University Police
• Oxford City Police
• Office of Judicial Affairs
• Residence Life Staff (Including Hall Directors, Advisers, and Resident Assistants)

Policy for Preparing Report

Miami University’s Annual Campus Security Act Report is the result of the effort of many people on campus. Each year the offices and individuals listed above submit their data for inclusion in the annual crime statistics. No formal police report is required for a crime to be included in the statistics. In addition, the crime statistics are double checked by Miami’s internal auditing staff. Every effort is taken to ensure that all persons required to report in fact do so, and that our statistics are as accurate as possible.

In addition, the information included in our annual report is reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and readability.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of the statistics and information in this report, please contact the Office of University Communications, 513-529-3637.
