Crime Statistics

The statistics in this report are published in accordance with the standards and guidelines used by the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook and relevant federal law. USF submits the annual crime statistics published in this report to the Department of Education (DOE). The statistical information gathered by the Department of Education is available to the public through the Department of Education website. In addition, a Daily Crime and Fire Log is available for review 24 hours a day on the Public Safety website (visit http://myusf.usfca.edu/public-safety and click on Daily Crime and Fire Log under the “Clery Report” heading).

The procedures for preparing the annual disclosure of crime statistics include reporting statistics to the university community obtained from the following sources: Public Safety and the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). Statistics are requested from local law enforcement for each additional campus and additional location. For statistical purposes, crime statistics reported to any of these sources are recorded in the calendar year the crime was reported.

A written request for statistical information is made on an annual basis to all non-public safety officials who include Campus Security Authorities. A designated campus security authority includes, but is not limited to university deans, directors, department heads, Student Housing staff, Community Living staff, faculty advisers to student organizations, and athletic staff. Counselors are exempt from being Campus Security Authorities. Public Safety sends a request each year to Counseling And Psychological Services (CAPS) that encourages counselors to inform the persons they are counseling of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. The university continues to develop a better process to educate our Campus Security Authorities with regard to their responsibilities.

In reading the crime statistics table, it is important to note the following:

  • None of the additional campuses or additional locations have Residence Halls.
  • USF reports the number of persons who are charged with a violation of policy or law not the number of persons who are found responsible for a violation of policy or law.

Note: In 2020, the South Bay campus was located at De Anza College. In 2022, the South Bay campus moved to San Jose Community College. Statistics for 2020 were collected from De Anza College. USF made a good-faith effort to obtain statistics for 2021-2022 from local and/or state law enforcement agencies, but as of the date of publication, the agencies have not complied with our request.
