Clery Act · 34 CFR 668.46
Campus safety reporting,
documented at every door.
Every Title IV institution owes the campus community a daily crime log, timely warnings, and an Annual Security Report it can defend. LogBook360 turns visitor check-in into the documentation backbone: timestamped records by building, instant mass alerts, and no-contact orders enforced at entry.
Clery fines run to roughly USD 69,733 per violation, and every finding is public.

Where Clery meets the front door
Four obligations your visitor records carry
Program reviews sample your logs and your warning evidence. Paper sign-in sheets and improvised alerts fail the sample.
Obligation
Daily crime log, kept current
Institutions with a security presence must log reported crimes within two business days, publicly inspectable. LogBook360's timestamped records give every entry a defensible source.
Obligation
Timely warnings that reach everyone
When a Clery crime threatens the community, warnings must go out fast. Mass alerts reach staff, students, and every checked-in visitor at once, with a delivery log.
Obligation
No-contact orders enforced at the door
Banned individuals and no-contact respondents are flagged the moment they attempt check-in at any covered building, turning a paper order into a physical control.
Obligation
Annual Security Report evidence
The October 1 ASR needs documented, auditable records behind every statistic. Exportable visitor and incident logs give your Clery coordinator a clean evidence trail.

Fines are assessed per violation and published. The largest penalties in Clery history have all landed in the last decade.
