After sifting through thousands of reports over the past year, UWPD released their 2015-16 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report Thursday.

The report is a 135-page-long guide to UW’s campus safety resources, including prevention information and how to submit a crime report.

Jaimee Gilford, director of clergy compliance at UWPD, said the report — which took months to compile — is something all students should take a look at.

“There’s just so much valuable information there that is really tailored toward students,” Gilford said. “We’re focusing on providing resources and information to students and being as transparent as we can to the campus community.”

The report, with an easy-to-follow narrative, serves as a general snapshot to crime on campus, Gilford said. More than just numbers themselves, the report serves as a reference point for all the resources and programs UW provides for different types of crime on campus.

The report devotes an entire chapter to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking, focusing on prevention and response programs.

Gilford especially recommended students read the sexual assault chapter, because it lays out the step by step disciplinary procedures on what happens when someone submits a report to a campus office.

Gilford said in UW’s recent climate survey results, some students expressed concern on reporting sexual assaults.

“One of reasons that people cited in the survey why people don’t report is because they don’t really understand the process or think that we don’t have a good process in place, and we do,” Gilford said.

The report’s statistics, Gilford said, were collected over a year. Anton Altman, assistant director of clergy compliance, received 80,000 requests over the year and had to decide which ones should be included in the report. Every single report UWPD received, Gilford said, was individually evaluated for whether or not it should be in the report.

She said campus security authorities designated by the federal government also help fill out forms for UWPD with statistical information from reports.

Policies in the report are collected with a broad coalition of people, Gifford explained, with representatives from all major departments across campus.

“There’s a ton of people who put a ton of work into this report,” Gilford said. “There’s no way one person could do it. It’s really a group effort.”
