The University of Kansas strives to be transparent and inform the community accurately about crime statistics on or near campus. The disclosure of crime statistics in the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR) may differ from the crime statistics disclosed by the KU Police Department. These differences are the result of the following:

  • The classification of crimes in the ASFSR use the Uniform Crime Reporting system. The KU Police Department use state and local statutes to classify crimes.
  • The crime statistics listed in the ASFSR are collected from a wide range of stakeholders including, but not limited to, campus police, Title IX, campus security authorities, local police departments, etc. KU Police Department statistics record only crimes that were reported directly to them.
