INFORMATION AND STATISTICS
Commitment to Transparency
One of our goals on campus is to share our work openly and honestly. To help you
understand our policies and records better, we have made them accessible to you
below.
POLICIES AND RELATED INFORMATION
UNIVERSITY POLICIES
DRUGS
The use, possession, consumption, sale, manufacture or furnishing of illicit
drugs and narcotics, including marijuana and drug paraphernalia, is prohibited
by state law and university regulations. Violations may result in arrest and/or
suspension from the university for a definite period of time.
WEAPONS
The use, possession or carrying of any kind of firearms on any public school or
institution of higher education property is a violation of state laws and
university regulations. Violations may result in arrest and/or suspension from
the university. The only exceptions are authorized law enforcement officers and
in compliance with the Concealed Handgun Law.
Concealed handgun carriers should review our current rules.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Pursuant to the Sexual Assault Victim’s Bill of Rights, it becomes important to
promote the reporting of all sex crime violations as well as outline the
procedures to facilitate the reporting of all alleged violations. Therefore,
students are hereby informed of the following programs and options.
DEFINITIONS
* Sexual Assault: Generally defined as attempted or actual unwanted sexual
activity.
* Forcible and Non-Forcible Sex Offenses: A forcible sex offense is “any sexual
act directed against another person, forcible and/or against that person’s
will where the victim is incapable of giving consent,” and includes forcible
rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object and forcible fondling.
Non-forcible sex offenses are acts of unlawful, non-forcible sexual
intercourse such as incest and statutory rape.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Various programs addressing sexual assault and related issues are presented
throughout each academic year.
These programs are conducted primarily by the Counseling and Student Development
Center, the Student Activities Board, Residential Living and Learning, the
University Police Department, and other departments and agencies campus-wide.
PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING OFFENSES
In instances where sexual assault is alleged, the victim is strongly encouraged
to report the incident to the University Police Department. The victim will be
given information on how to bring formal charges against the accused. The victim
will be given a list of resources to help lessen the negative impact of any
emotional, physical or psychological trauma.
POSSIBLE SANCTIONS
Depending on the severity of the crime, those found guilty of a sex crime may
face criminal charges, suspension or expulsion from the university.
CHANGING ACADEMIC AND/OR LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
When appropriate, academic and/or on-campus living arrangements may be modified
as a direct result of a sexual assault. This action may be taken when requested
by the victim and if such modifications are reasonable and available. These
arrangements are coordinated through the Title IX office.
COUNSELING SERVICES
Students who are victims of a sex crime are eligible for and encouraged to take
advantage of counseling services offered by the Counseling and Student
Development Center, located on the second floor of the Student Services
Building.
CODE OF CONDUCT
To provide for the safety of members of the university community and its
property, A&M-Commerce has established standards of conduct to ensure the
orderly process of daily living. If facts suggest an applicant’s behavior may
endanger the health and safety of university members, jeopardize the property of
the university or its members and visitors, or adversely affect the educational
process or mission of the university, a pre-admission review is required.
Background checks for criminal convictions prior to employment are not conducted
on university employees except for security-sensitive positions. Employment
applications specifically ask potential employees if they have ever been
convicted of a crime other than minor traffic violations. A serious crime
conviction is grounds for the possible discharge of a university employee.
CAMPUS FACILITIES
The university facilities are well maintained, and security is given constant
attention. Students, faculty, and staff at A&M-Commerce have access to academic,
recreational and administrative facilities on campus. Visitors have access to
facilities officially opened for study, work, or related functions. The general
public can attend cultural and recreational events on campus with access limited
to the facilities in which these events are held. The Physical Plant Department
maintains the university buildings and grounds while keeping safety and security
in mind. The landscape personnel trims shrubs from sidewalks, walkways and
building entrances to provide well-lit routes to buildings and parking lots. The
campus is well-lit; however, improvements are made as conditions warrant.
RESIDENCE HALLS
A&M-Commerce Residential Living and Learning has 32 residence halls, including
apartment units. These residence halls accommodate two different lifestyles:
single-sex halls for women or men and coeducational halls. All freshmen are
required to live in university housing unless special permission is granted. All
students have the opportunity to apply for university housing. Many students
choose off-campus housing; however, the university does not provide supervision
for off-campus housing.
Each residence hall is supervised by a professional head resident and assistant
head resident who are assisted by trained graduate or undergraduate resident
assistants, all of whom live in the resident hall complex. These resident hall
staff members are on call 24 hours a day and undergo thorough training to
enforce residence hall rules, regulations and security policies. A night
security receptionist is assigned to each single-sex and coeducational hall.
These student receptionists are not associated with UPD but are in phone contact
with them.
As a part of their responsibility for residence hall security, all staff members
participate in lectures and seminars associated with safety and security.
University administrators, police and safety officers provide instruction.
Only residents and their invited guests are permitted in the living areas of the
residence halls. It is the responsibility of residents to ensure that their
guests are aware of the university and residence hall policies. It is the
responsibility of each resident and staff member to report individuals who
cannot be identified as a resident or a guest of a resident. When the UPD
receives a report of an unescorted person in a residence hall, an officer is
dispatched to identify that person.
MISSING PERSONS
It is the policy of the A&M-Commerce University Police Department to thoroughly
investigate all reports of missing persons. In addition, this agency considers a
missing child and an adult who is mentally impaired to be considered “at risk”
until significant information to the contrary is confirmed.
EMERGENCY CONTACTS/MISSING PERSONS
The following information, or versions thereof, will be provided within the
Emergency Information Card, Residential Living and Learning website, and the
Residence Living and Learning Staff Manual.
During the housing check-in processes, students living on campus are required to
provide at least one emergency contact to the Department of Residential Living
and Learning (RLL). This information is kept strictly confidential and may only
be utilized by RLL staff, and other A&M-Commerce staff members with emergency
response job responsibilities, in the case of emergencies involving students,
such as death, life-threatening injuries or a missing person report. Students
may update their emergency contact information at any time by visiting the front
desk at each hall, or by contacting their hall director.
On-campus residents may designate at least one of their emergency contacts as a
person to be notified in the event a student is determined to be missing for
more than 24 hours. Whether or not a student has designated an emergency contact
as a person to be notified, if a student is less than 18 years old, Federal Law
requires that A&M-Commerce notify a parent or guardian within 24 hours of the
determination that a student is missing.
Staff members should follow the instructions below upon receiving a report of a
missing student:
1. Immediately contact the University Police Department with all information
provided regarding the missing student so that an investigation can be
initiated. This is required by federal law.
2. Provide the University Police Department with the names and contact
information of anyone designated as a “missing person contact.”
3. The University Police Department will make contact with the designated
emergency contact.
On-campus residents should contact their resident assistant, hall director, or
the University Police Department if they suspect a resident is missing. Upon
receiving a report of a missing resident, Residential Living and Learning staff
members will ensure University Police Department is provided with all the
information needed to initiate an investigation.
DAILY CRIME LOG
This log is for informational purposes and to assist the media. Please see the
Clery Compliance page for further information on the Clery Crime Log.
Last 60 Days
RECORDS AND CRIME STATISTICS
The University Police Department (UPD) publishes a press log each day. This log
is available to members of the press and the public. This log identifies the
type, location and time of each criminal incident reported. Any information
deemed newsworthy is published by The East Texan and/or the Commerce newspapers.
If a series of incidents occur that may be considered a threat to other members
of the university community, timely reports will be made by notices on bulletin
boards, memos, fax, newspaper articles, radio news or other appropriate means.
The department also monitors local law enforcement agencies for reports of
criminal acts committed on property owned or controlled by student organizations
recognized by the university. The criminal violations must be of a U.C.R. Part 1
Offense and include dean referral or arrest information for alcohol, drugs and
weapons violations. (This information may be sporadic at times since no statute
requires these agencies to report).
The department submits a monthly Uniform Crime Report (UCR) to the Texas
Department of Public Safety. This report is also submitted to the U.S.
Department of Justice (FBI) for publication in Crime in the United States,
available in all public libraries. The annual crime statistics of the university
are available at UPD.
UPD is a strong supporter of the Campus Security Act. Each semester, UPD
publishes a Crime Awareness brochure, containing three prior years of crime
statistics. UPD also publishes a Weekly Activity Log, this log is updated daily,
excluding the weekends. Any questions on this should be directed to Sergeant Ray
Dittrich If you wish to report a crime anonymously, please fill out the Crime
Statistics Reporting Form.
2023 Annual Security Report
SEX OFFENDER INFORMATION
THE CAMPUS SEX CRIME PREVENTION ACT
This act amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually
Violent Offender Registration Act. This federal law requires sex offenders who
are already participating in registration programs to provide notice under state
law at each institution of higher education in which the person is employed,
carries on a vocation, or is a student. Federal law requires that state
procedures ensure that proper registration information is provided to law
enforcement agencies with the jurisdiction of the individual institutions.
The federal law took effect on October 28, 2002. The law also amends the Jeanne
Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act to
require institutions of higher education to issue a statement, in addition to
other disclosures required under that act, advising the campus community where
law enforcement agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex
offenders may be obtained. These changes took effect October 28, 2002, and this
notice will be a requirement beginning with the annual security report due
October 1, 2003.
The 78th Legislature passed an amendment to current sex offender registration
laws requiring persons under this act to register with the law enforcement
agency having jurisdiction if that person carries on a vocation, works, or
attends school on a campus of higher education. To date, procedural rules have
not been put into place by the Texas Department of Public Safety. DPS has a
website where you may access the sex offender database. Use the button below to
reach this site.

CRIME CLASS DEFINITIONS
Murder and Nonnegligent Manslaughter – The willful (non-negligent) killing of
one human being by another.
Negligent Manslaughter – The killing of another person through gross negligence.
Sex Offense Forcible (F) – Any sexual act directed against another person,
forcibly and/or against that person's will; or not forcibly or against the
person's will where the victim is incapable of giving consent: forcible rape,
forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object, forcible fondling and attempted

Sex Offense Non Forcible (N) – Unlawful, non-forcible sexual intercourse: incest
and statutory rape.
Robbery – The taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care,
custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or
violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
Aggravated Assault – An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the
purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault
is usually accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce
death or great bodily harm. (It is not necessary that injury results from an
aggravated assault when a gun, knife, or other weapon is used which could and
probably would result in serious personal injury if the crime were successfully
completed.)
Burglary – The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or a theft. For
reporting purposes, this definition includes: unlawful entry with intent to
commit a larceny or felony, breaking and entering with intent to commit a
larceny, housebreaking, safecracking and all attempts to commit any of the

intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft,
personal property of another, etc
Disciplinary Referrals – Incidents in which a student was not arrested but was
referred for campus disciplinary action for liquor law violations, drug law
violations, and illegal weapons possession. Do not include disciplinary
referrals for violation of university policy if there was no violation of the
law. For example, if a student of legal drinking age violates a “dry campus”
policy and is referred for disciplinary action, this statistic should not be
included in the crime statistics.
Liquor Law Violation – The violation of laws or ordinances prohibiting: the
manufacture, sale, transporting, furnishing, possessing of intoxicating liquor,
maintaining unlawful drinking places, bootlegging, operating a still, furnishing
liquor to a minor or intemperate person, using a vehicle for illegal
transportation of liquor, drinking on a train or public conveyance and any
attempts to commit any of the foregoing violations. This list does not include
public drunkenness and driving under the influence.
Drug Law Violation – Violations of State and local laws related to the
possession, sale, use, growing, manufacturing, and making of narcotic drugs. The
relevant substances include opium or cocaine and their derivatives (morphine,
heroin, codeine), marijuana, synthetic narcotics (Demerol, methadone) and
dangerous nonnarcotic drugs (barbiturates, Benzedrine).
Weapon Law Violation – The violation of laws or ordinances regulating weapons.
