Crime Statistics
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and the Campus Crime Statistics Act (formerly the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990) requires that crime statistics for the Gloucester Point campus (On-Campus), Wachapreague campus (Non-Campus), and the area immediately adjacent to the Gloucester Point Campus (Public Property) be provided to all faculty, staff, and students for the previous 3 calendar years.
VIMS crime statistics and prevention material may be found with the W&M statistics report for the William & Mary campuses. This report includes helpful information on living, traveling, bicycling, and partying safely. Also included in the booklet are helpful phone numbers for various campus support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Substance Abuse Education, and Sexual Assault Support.
Additional information on security coverage at VIMS is included in the VIMS' Policy and Procedure Documents; section PPD-0406, Institute Security.
