What additional geographic location is relevant to the crime log?

The relevance of patrol jurisdiction to the crime log stems from the Clery Act's requirements for transparency and safety within campus communities. Under the Clery Act, institutions must disclose information about certain criminal offenses that occur on or near campus. This includes incidents that happen in areas where the institution has some control or significant influence over safety and security, which is often represented by the patrol jurisdiction of campus police.

Patrol jurisdiction typically encompasses the area immediately surrounding the campus grounds where campus security has authority and responsibility to act. This means that any crimes occurring in this vicinity, even outside the immediate campus boundaries, are essential for understanding the safety landscape for students and staff. By including data from areas within the patrol jurisdiction, not only is compliance with legal requirements maintained, but it also provides a fuller picture of the safety environment and helps in proactive measures for campus security and student awareness.

In contrast, other options like campus buildings, nearby cities, or local neighborhoods either do not provide the same level of governance or law enforcement oversight related to the institution or may extend beyond the scope of what is considered relevant to the crime log in terms of responsibility for safety and security reporting.
