Clery Act compliance, delivered through a mobile app your campus actually uses.
We build mobile apps for university public safety departments that make Clery Act compliance easier to achieve and maintain — while giving students, faculty, and staff a better way to stay informed and safe on campus.
Clery Act compliance is getting harder.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act requires colleges and universities to disclose campus safety information — including timely warnings, emergency notifications, crime statistics, and security policies.
Most institutions rely on fragmented systems — mass email, legacy portals, PDF reports — to meet these obligations. Students don't check them. Administrators struggle to prove compliance. And when a real emergency hits, the gap between "notification sent" and "notification received" can be the difference that matters.
Clery Act key requirements
- Timely warning notifications for Clery crimes
- Emergency notifications for immediate threats
- Daily crime log accessible to the public
- Annual Security Report (ASR) distribution
- Campus security policy disclosure
- Crime statistics reporting and publication
- Missing student notification procedures
A mobile app built around Clery Act requirements.
Every feature in the app maps to a specific compliance obligation. Your department meets its requirements while giving the campus community a tool they'll actually use every day.
Timely warnings
Push notifications for Clery-reportable crimes with full details — sent instantly to every device on campus.
Emergency notifications
Immediate threat alerts with location, instructions, and real-time updates as situations develop.
Daily crime log
Searchable, mobile-accessible crime log that's always current — no more binders or buried PDF links.
Annual Security Report
Distribute your ASR directly through the app with read receipts and acknowledgment tracking.
Safety resources
Campus escort services, emergency contacts, safety tips, Title IX resources, and reporting tools in one place.
Department directory
Direct dial to campus police, counseling, health services, and other campus safety resources.
How the app addresses each requirement.
Timely warning notifications
When a Clery-reportable crime occurs, your team can issue a timely warning through the app in minutes. Push notifications reach every registered user immediately. The app logs when each notification was sent and received — creating a compliance record automatically.
Emergency notifications
For immediate threats to campus safety, the app delivers emergency alerts with priority push notifications that bypass silent mode on supported devices. Alerts include location data, safety instructions, and can be updated in real-time as situations evolve.
Daily crime log access
The Clery Act requires institutions to maintain a public crime log with entries available within two business days. The app provides a searchable, always-current crime log accessible to anyone — no need to visit an office or navigate a buried web page.
Annual Security Report distribution
Institutions must notify all students and employees about the availability of the ASR by October 1 each year. The app distributes the report directly with notification tracking, making it easy to demonstrate that every member of the campus community was notified.
Beyond compliance.
Students actually use it
A mobile app puts safety information where your campus community can easily access it — making compliance efforts also effective communication.
Audit-ready records
Every notification, crime log update, and report distribution is logged with timestamps. When the Department of Education reviews your program, you have clear documentation of compliance.
Reduce institutional risk
Clery Act violations can result in fines up to $71,545 per violation. A purpose-built notification and compliance system reduces the risk of gaps in your program.
