Armed Robbery Spree at the Arizona State University…AGAIN, Save your kids, take them where public safety is taken seriously. ASU Police had how many officers on when it happened?

ASU police: 3 students robbed at gunpoint on Sunday morning 9-24-17

This event happened recently, but it’s nothing new at the Arizona State University in Tempe where the Arizona State University Police Department has a mandatory staffing requirement that has been in jeopardy of not being reached for over a decade. Did they have two officers on or one officer on as is the norm for the Polytechnic, West, and Downtown campuses? Most likely. Were the few officers on duty that evening running traffic stops far off campus where they aren’t serving a purpose for the university? Most likely. That’s been going on for years because incompetent university police management can’t focus on the job that needs to get done.

ASU police: 3 students robbed at gunpoint on Sunday morning

Three Arizona State University students were robbed at gunpoint near the Tempe campus early Sunday morning, according to ASU police.

The first call came from the area of First Street and Farmer Avenue just before 1:30 a.m., police said. The second came about an hour and a half later in the area of University Drive and Dorsey Lane.

In both cases, the students were robbed by men wearing dark clothing and masks. Police said they were unsure the two incidents were connected, however.

Arizona State Police say several people were robbed at gunpoint near the university’s Tempe campus early Sunday morning.

Officials received the first robbery call around 1:30 a.m. near 1st Street and Farmer Avenue, an ASU police spokesperson said. Two hours later, around 3 a.m., police received additional reports about students being robbed near University Drive and Rural Road.

The suspect involved in the first incident was described as being an African American man in his 20s, about 5’7” and 170 pounds. The second suspect was described as being an African American man in his 30s, about 5’7” and a medium build.

Both suspects were seen wearing dark-colored clothing and masks, however, it’s unknown if these two incidents are connected.

Anyone with information about the robberies is used to call the ASU Police Department immediately.

The Lodge, a bar near where the first robbery occurred. 

Management said they’re planing to add additional security in light of what happened to make sure customers and employees stay safe. 

ASU Police are offering tips to students on campus:

  • Be aware of your surroundings when traveling through campus.
  • If you see someone or something suspicious, report it.
  • Be aware of Emergency Call Box locations.
  • Always use the “buddy system” after dark.
  • Utilize the ASU Safety Escort Service.

The Integrity Report on the ASU Police Department is offering tips to students on campus:

  • Be aware of your police department’s mismanagement, low staffing, and high turnover.
  • If you see a police officer on campus go play the lottery, it’s rare indeed.
  • Be aware that Emergency Call Box locations are no substitute for adequate policing practices.
  • Always use the “buddy system” after dark, that way you and your friends can get victimized together.
  • Utilize the ASU Safety Escort Service that has one van for 100,000 students.
  • Tell your parents about your safety concerns and go to a university that puts a priority on your safety.
  • Realize these are serious crimes where students on the ASU Tempe campus are killed, don’t let that be you or your loved ones.
  • We would have added all the sexual assaults, all the unsolved, un-investigated ones,  shoddy investigated ones, but those are too numerous to list.

 

You Can’t Polish A Turd! The Arizona State University Police Dept’s Innexcusable Record of Failure on Sexual Crimes, The latest feint from the Arizona State University Michael Crow Administration!

What prompted the Arizona State University administration to goad it’s Police Department to start a public relations campaign aimed at making it appear it cares about Sexual Assault Crimes? Maybe the fact it’s been under investigation by the federal government for doing such a lousy job on the issue since 2012?

The most ironic thing was on a Monday recently when a 261 (police code for sexual assault case) walked into the Arizona State University Police Department lobby located at 325 E Apache Ave and was turned away by an officer wearing this same patch! A sexual assault victim was turned away during Sex Assault Awareness Month. Way to go ASUPD! 

Think about this for a moment, how many universities have sizable groups organized against them because of how poorly they have handled sexual assaults for years and years? The Arizona State University has Sun Devils Against Sexual Assault, but we can’t seem to find another university where another group exists. That’s a big fat clue about how bad the problem is at the Arizona State University!

Even CNN has featured the ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY RAPE FRIENDLY CULTURE in a CNN film titled THE HUNTING GROUND

https://youtu.be/GBNHGi36nlM

“I thought if I told [ASU administrators] they would take action, but the only action they took was against me.” – SDASA founder Jasmine Lester, The Hunting Ground

Here are some questions you should be asking yourself if you or a family member is planning on attending the Arizona State University. How would you feel if your child is sexually assaulted and…

  1. …the Arizona State University police department never even bothered to submit her case to the county attorney for prosecution?
  2. …you discover the DNA collected sat in an evidence locker for years and was never submitted to the state police lab for processing?
  3. …the University fails to discipline or hold accountable people who are guilty of the crime or an accessory to the crime?
  4. …the University administration takes action, but against the victim, to keep them from getting information on their case, to keep them quiet.
  5. …because the criminal who committed the crime is a faculty member or a part of athletics, they are protected by the University administration and the neutered ASUPD does nothing for them but make excuses.
  6. …you find out the Federal Government has been investigating the Arizona State University since 2012 on the issue that they are putting a huge public relations effort into.
  7. …you find out that the detectives have had no formal detective training on sexual assaults and were “winging” it without doing many of the professional standard investigative practices common throughout the country.
  8. …you go to the Arizona State University Title IX Coordinator only to discover they are not there for you, they are an agent whose sole purpose is to protect the university from liability by making you go away and covering for the institution. Example: Kamala Green, the Title IX Coordinator who mishandled sexual violence complaints against Barrett professors, was replaced by Jodi Preudhomme, who previously served on ASU’s legal team defending ASU against rape victims in at least three Title IX lawsuits.
  9. …you discover that the Arizona State University Police Department hires a former city detective, a specialist on sexual assaults and another officer with significant experience on the subject only to exclude them from detectives for political favorites who have virtually no experience with the subject and some experience sexually harassing other police employees as a junior supervisor.
  10. …you discover a rape victim came into the lobby of the Arizona State University Police Department, the people managing your case, and they were turned away. Can you imagine how they felt? Just in case you were wondering…a police officer has jurisdiction, the ability to do their job, throughout the state and isn’t limited by arbitrary boundaries with the exception of tribal lands. We continually receive correspondence from people still witnessing the helter skelter headlong disorderly haste of day to night staffing crisis of ASUPD. Every shift involves officers depleting satellite campuses in order to appear fully staffed in Tempe, the largest campus. What a fucking joke.
  11. …how can a police department who cannot cover minimum staffing for simple patrol year after year be expected to handle your sexual assault case with any competence?
  12. …you discover your rights as a victim pale in comparison to ASU public relations and image because every administrator who works at the university becomes another line of defense for the criminal because they want victims to go away and not affect the false crime statistical record propped up by the administration and it’s lapdog police department heads?
  13. …maybe having Satan as a mascot for the university isn’t such a great thing afterall?

But of course the president of the Arizona State University cares about sexual assaults right? Wrong.

Dr. Crow on Title IX & rape culture…

As evidenced by the following transcript, Dr. Crow is not familiar with Title IX, nor does he know what specific options/”pathways” students have if they are sexually harassed or raped at ASU.

On December 2, Sun Devils Against Sexual Assault attended the “Changing the Face of Higher Education” town hall conversation with Arizona State University President Dr. Michael Crow. SDASA founder/survivor Jasmine Lester asked Dr. Crow about ASU’s violations of Title IX and the administration’s enabling of professors who sexually harass and assault students on Study Abroad trips.

Under Title IX, “schools are required to adopt and publish a grievance procedure outlining the complaint, investigation, and disciplinary process for addressing sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence occurring within educational programs. This process should address discrimination perpetrated by students, employees, or third parties” (Know Your IX).

As evidenced by the following transcript, Dr. Crow is not familiar with Title IX, nor does he know what specific options/”pathways” students have if they are sexually harassed or raped at ASU. All he knows is that when a victim comes forward, there’s another side of the story; questioning a rape victim’s credibility is rape culture.

Transcript:

Jasmine Lester: Why didn’t you answer my question about Title IX?
Michael Crow: Because I didn’t read the question. There were about 35 questions. So, what’s the question?
JL: ASU has a history of violating Title IX, right? You know about that?
MC: Well, I mean, that’s your opinion.
JL: My opinion? It’s documented. You guys have had lawsuits filed against you, you’ve had lots of complaints about how you violated [Title IX], I have lived experience of my rights being violated by the administration at ASU, so I’m wondering what you’re doing, or if you even care about students.
MC: Well, I wouldn’t ask questions where you make presumptive statements like that.
JL: I’m asking you a question, not for your analysis of my question.
MC: I can answer however I want.
JL: So, you don’t care?
MC: I can answer you however I wish.
JL: I know you can, but I’m wondering if you will answer a question and talk, straight-forward, about students who are suffering under your administration.
MC: Yeah, so students who are suffering have various pathways to remedy.
JL: What is one such pathway?
MC: There are multiple pathways. You can make a charge against another person.
JL: What happens when the university investigates that [charge] and the university is biased?
MC: Then you can ask for another judgement.
JL: Are you telling me to file a lawsuit?
MC: No, no. But you have other remedy pathways, and so the remedy pathways that you have access to are multiple.
JL: Okay.
MC: And they are, uh, at various levels of engagement.
JL: Okay, and can we talk about a system that creates bad experiences for students, and faculty who tend to blame victims more than support them? Is there anything that you, your university, your people, are doing to combat that? It’s a problem across all universities, not just ASU–
MC: Every faculty member that has been involved–
JL: –so I’m just wondering. There is a problem. You can say that’s just my opinion, but there is a problem. I have a lived experience and you’re telling me that that’s my opinion. It’s not. And you, as the president of the university, have a responsibility to me as an alum, as a staff, as a human being, to protect my rights and not to violate them.
MC: Yeah, and you have multiple ways to protect your rights.
JL: But you’re not saying what those are. And you’re not saying what you, as someone in power, is doing to help people like me and people who are too afraid to speak out.
MC: Well, I mean, you have a point relative to people who won’t speak out.
JL: Okay.
MC: And so, uh, it’s important that people do speak out and avail themselves of the rights that they have.
JL: But what does that mean, though? I filed a complaint, ASU treated me like shit. I continue to speak out, you keep treating me like shit. So what else can I do other than attack the university that raised me? I’m trying to find a way–I would rather work with you guys than against you, you know? I should not, as an alum, have to work against my university not to attack me and not to attack students like me.
MC: I don’t know of anyone that’s attacking you.
JL: You don’t? I could send you a lot of emails. We could have a meeting. You know my dad [former administrator]…
MC: What I do know, is that where we know that there has been misbehavior by a faculty member, those faculty members have been sanctioned or dismissed.
JL: What about the ones who are leading Study Abroad trips this summer? I know there are those leading Study Abroad trips this coming summer.
MC: Then you should make charges against those people.
JL: But I’ve been told by your Title IX Coordinator that I’m not allowed.
MC: You’re allowed to do anything you want.
JL: Can you tell your Title IX Coordinator to actually know what Title IX is? Instead of running me and other students through crap?
MC: I’m not really big on sarcasm, so…
JL: This isn’t sarcasm, this is serious.
MC: So you can detail each of the points.
JL: Alright.
MC: And you can identify each of those points, and there’s multiple levels of engagement, if you don’t find satisfaction with Officer A or Officer B, then make sure that ultimately…you have to seek remedy.
JL: Yeah, and I’ve been doing that for the past four years and it’s been terrible because the university wont work with me, it only attacks me and protects its faculty.
MC: Well, I actually know the list of faculty that don’t work at ASU any longer for whatever misbehavior.
JL: Ok. Do you want a list of the ones that do work here still? Because I’ll give you that list.
MC: Yes, and then you have to be able to stand behind that list.
JL: I will stand behind that list, like I have been standing behind [it] and you’ve been ignoring it. The only way that I’ve been able to talk to you is to confront you like this.
MC: You’re talking about me, personally? I’ve been ignoring you?
JL: I’ve emailed you before because we have been at another forum [Feb 2012 – click for transcript] addressing these issues with you, where you said you wanted people like me to email you. I did and I never got a response. I was just sent back to the same faculty member, the Title IX Coordinator, who had [also] been harassing me. So, whatever you’re trying to do, it’s not working, and I want to know what you’re trying to do to make it work.
MC: So, I don’t know that this is the forum to talk about your specific case and I don’t know that much about your particular case, but the point here is that if you have beliefs that there are multiple individuals involved in inappropriate behavior, well it’s, that’s the way that it works…
JL: Then what?

[Crow is asked to pose for photos]

JL: Would you like to have a meeting about this? Because I would love to meet with you…
MC: You’re meeting with me right now.
JL: I mean like an official meeting.
MC: This is an official meeting. I don’t have any unofficial identities.
JL: So, are you saying that the next time I want to talk to you I have to come to an event like this?
MC: No, I’m not saying that at all. We’re having a discussion right now.
JL: But it’s being cut short because people are trying to pull you away for pictures.
MC: Yes, but I mean, the point is that you have to pursue things until you get a final adjudication. There are processes, there are procedures, whatever they are.
JL: So, letting you know, the head of a huge university, that there are problems, is not one of those pathways?
MC: By letting me know that there are problems, is a pathway, which means I can go back and ask people what’s going on.
JL: I hope that you do.
MC: I will. But the point you have to understand is that in all of these things, whatever they are, there might be people that don’t agree with your views, and I don’t mean me.
JL: Well, of course there are people who disagree with my views.
MC: No, I mean there might be people that don’t agree with your statements of fact. Because there are their rights to have a statement of fact, also. And so that’s the process, which is very complicated.
JL: I know how complicated.
MC: The adjudication process. It’s a very complicated process, and so when you get into these situations, then you say one thing–not you, personally, but one person says one thing, another person says another thing, another person says another thing, another person says another thing–which of those people is accurate?
JL: And that’s what I brought up earlier with the victim-blaming. I’m aware of the process, I’m also aware of biases in the process and flaws within the system, that don’t really allow this to be an objective process. If you have a student accusing a professor who’s well-renowned, there’s going to be one viewpoint that’s going to be sort of valued more by the university–
MC: No.
JL: But there has been. And I am witness, testimony, that there has been.
MC: Just because you say it [happened] doesn’t make it so.
JL: Just because I say I had an experience, doesn’t make it so?
MC: What I’m saying is that just because you say it–

[Sadly, our recording got cut short because iPhones.]

Transcript of SDASA’s similar conversation with ASU HR Kevin Salcido coming soon.

Clearly there is much work to be done at ASU. Email SunDevilsASA@gmail.com to get involved in our Title IX complaint.

We have had a flurry of comments lately about featuring this issue and we apologize for not getting to this very grave issue sooner. It certainly is one that is close to our hearts and needs to be exposed.

ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE: Detectives Special Victims Unit is little more than a SAD PUBLICITY STUNT

Q: What kind of expertise and professionalism can victims within the Arizona State University community expect from their police department detectives?

A: Rookie expertise & less professionalism than a fraternity during pledge week.

That’s right folks, virtual world training for detectives on computers at ASU Police Department is a reality VERSUS real world training as a police detective through handling criminal cases, interviewing actual victims, suspects, and mentoring with experienced detectives.

If you are investigative reporters and looking for a story, look no further than one of the most important aspects of a police department besides patrol, detectives, the branch that is supposed to follow up on unsolved crimes and close cases.

  • What is the case closure rate of ASUPD Detectives? How is that statistic generated?

  • What kinds of cases are ASUPD Detectives closing?

  • What is the ASUPD Detective record on closing drug trafficking cases?

  • What is the ASUPD Detective record on closing sexual assault cases?

  • What is the ASUPD Detective record on closing property crime cases?

  • Do ASUPD Detectives focus on property crimes over crimes against people?

  • Of the types of cases sent to ASUPD Detectives, how many are left pending indefinitely?

  • Of the types of cases sent to ASUPD Detectives, how many have been “SAT ON” and the officers handling them, at the supervisor level, made the decision whether or not to forward them to prosecution based on their belief in the likeliness of a conviction?

  • Of the types of cases sent to ASUPD Detectives, how many actually get sent to the Maricopa County Attorney for prosecution?

  • Are ASUPD Detectives being directed to do immoral practices and procedures in order to influence crime statistics that portray the Arizona State University in an unrealistically favorable manner?

Since this article came out, nearly everyone in the ASUPD Detectives scattered to the wind and have been replaced? Why?

  • Why have ASUPD Detectives had 4 Supervisor changes in less than four years?

  • What kind of training have ASUPD Detectives received to handle the 1000’s of cases sent to them over the last 10 years? If ASUPD doesn’t pay for detectives to be properly trained, mentored, before being on the job, then where is the money going? More importantly, what type of job are they doing for the Arizona State University community?

  • How come the ASUPD Special Victims Unit was formed to combat the sexual assault crisis at America’s largest college, but former police detectives who came to ASUPD with a wealth of experience were shunned in favor of the same political cronyism appointees we were so used to under the years of John Pickens as chief?

  • One of these political cronies, Jennifer Bryner, had 1 year on patrol, couldn’t qualify with her pistol, was moved into detectives immediately afterwards, and then was promoted to Sergeant, again over officers with 10-20 years experience after camping out in detectives for a short period.

     

ASU School Newspaper Article

ASU Police Department adds Special Victims Unit

Under the new management of Chief Michael Thompson, the ASU Police Department has seen many recent changes including the creation of two new roles within the force for Special Victims detectives.

Sgt. James Short, overseer of the Special Victims Unit, wrote in an email that detectives assigned to the Special Victims Unit will investigate cases involving physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence and crimes against children.

ASU defines sexual violence under the ABOR Student Code of Conduct as sexual misconduct, which includes any kind of non-consensual sexual contact attempted or executed without consent or under circumstances in which consent cannot be given, such as when one is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, disabled or a minor.

Sexual misconduct also includes sexual harassment, which is constituted by sexual behavior that creates an environment of intimidation, hostility or offense.

Short said the detectives will be working closely with other agencies such as the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, the ASU Office of Equity and Inclusion, the ASU Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, Family Advocacy Center Services and the university’s Title IX Coordinator.

Short said Special Victims detectives will investigate all cases in their jurisdiction, which includes the four ASU campuses, regardless of whether students are involved.

Crimes involving sexual and domestic abuse are of an inherently sensitive nature. While ASU seeks to educate its students about these crimes and encourages all victims to report acts of sexual violence, that is not always what happens, Short said.

“It is the responsibility of anyone having knowledge of sexual misconduct to report the information, but ultimately it is the victim’s choice to pursue one or more of these reporting options,” he said. “It is…the victim’s choice as to how the case will be conducted. If the victim chooses not to take police action, the university has other resources…who can assist in an administrative investigation based on the circumstances and the victim’s discretion.”

Short said ASUPD will also direct victims to support services and on-campus clubs if they wish to utilize them, and a complete list of support services and education programs are available online.

Director of ASU Wellness Karen Moses wrote in an email, “The increase in awareness seems to have had a positive impact, as the percentage of female students who reported having experienced attempted and/or completed sexual assault decreased from 4.7 percent to 3.1 percent from 2014 to 2015.”

Moses said she is hopeful that a specialized unit for Special Victims will encourage more victims to report crimes.

Although sexual assault cases are frequent on college campuses, spokesperson Nicole Franks wrote in an email that there has been a general decrease in sexual assault cases across ASU campuses and that crime statistics can be located in the Annual Clery Report.

Statistics aside, Franks said “focusing two of our detectives on these types of crimes is an effective use of personnel and expertise.”

Adding the Special Victims Unit was just one of the many changes that have happened at ASUPD.

Since Chief Michael Thompson took over, ASUPD has hired more personnel, including two new officers this summer and 15 in the past year. The department began training the force in diversity and cultural awareness, as well as implemented the LiveSafe app.

Franks said the app and its various features have proven successful so far, although there are only 3,336 LifeSafe users, with 1,091 using the SafeWalk feature and 10 using the SafeRide feature, which was launched on July 11 to allow students to request Safety Escort services.

There was also a LiveSafe scavenger hunt from August 11 to August 23 designed to raise awareness for the app.

“We are always looking for smarter policing approaches,” Franks said.

ASU Police Department battles with uncertain effects of budget cuts

Curious about how your daughter’s potential future sexual assault will be handled? Look at this.

Look at the record from actual Arizona State University students victimized 1st by a criminal, 2nd by how the ASUPD mishandled their cases, and 3rd by how they were victimized again by the ASU Administration. The Arizona State University, like too many colleges in the US, has a disgusting RAPE CULTURE. The university response has been to run a useless publicity campaign.

What is going on with the BOGUS CLERY CRIME STATS reported by the leadership at the Arizona State University Police Department?

Arizona State University is safe right

The Arizona Republic once again produced a story looking into the crime reporting being done at the Arizona State University through CLERY, but there is a problem.

The problem with this is that outsiders can only see finished numbers, not what goes into making a flawed product in the final CLERY report.

Here are a few things not considered when investigating ASU for CLERY reporting.

  1. How many reported rapes, drug crimes, robberies, burglaries, assaults etc are RECLASSIFIED AS OTHER CRIMES in order to keep them from going in the CLERY report? MANY HAVE.

  2. How many crimes are reported to ASU Residential Life in ASU Student Housing and ARE NEVER REPORTED to the ASU Police Department?

  3. Of the crimes that are reported to the ASU Police Department, how many of these CRIMES are sat upon and NOT FORWARDED TO THE Maricopa County Attorney to be evaluated for prosecution?

  4. Of the crimes that are reported to the ASU Police Department, how many of these CRIMES are MISMANAGED BY ASU POLICE DETECTIVES DUE TO AN ACUTE LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING and are then NOT FORWARDED TO THE Maricopa County Attorney to be evaluated for prosecution or are dismissed for the lack of followup and accompanying evidence.

  5. When you look at Universities much smaller than ASU, how do they have the same or higher crime statistics? When you look at the crime averages across the United States, it’s impossible for the ASU Stats to be accurate. The Arizona State University Police Department staff compiling the CLERY stats have been lying for many years to the public and Federal government. With the continual exposure of this issue there is complicity all the way up to ASU President Michael Crow, ASU Board of Regents.

Institutions are required to report on crimes such as:

Institutions are required to report on persons referred for campus disciplinary action for:

Institutions are required to report on crimes or bodily harm related to/caused by:

Here is the latest Arizona Republic article on crime reporting at the Arizona State University:

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2016/10/01/asu-ua-clery-report-statistics-crime/91342452/

Arizona State University and the University of Arizona published their annual campus-crime statistics Friday, a federally mandated report that provides insight about crimes that occur within campus boundaries.

Clery statistics include crimes against anyone on campus, not just students, but they exclude virtually all crimes that occur off campus. Most students at Arizona’s three public universities live off campus.

READ THE REPORTS: ASU | UA

At ASU there were 14 reports of rape in 2015, up from 7 in 2014, and two reports of domestic violence, compared with one in 2014. At UA there were 18 reports of rape in 2015, down from 28 reports of rape in 2014, and 19 reports of domestic violence in 2015, compared with 18 in 2014.

Trends at the two universities

The Clery Act requires colleges and universities that get federal funding to publish an annual security report including their crime and fire statistics and their safety and security policies. For context, the reports cover a three-year period.

UA had fewer liquor-law incidents but more drug-law incidents than in 2013 or 2014. It was almost the same at ASU, which in 2015 had the most drug arrests at 325 and fewest alcohol arrests at 314 in its three-year period.

In 2015 both universities had their first hate crime reported in the past three years, all classified as “intimidation incidents.” The two at ASU involved racial bias, and the one at UA involved sexual-orientation bias, according to the schools’ reports.

Sexual-assault reports have been on the rise across Tempe, according to Tempe police stats analyzed earlier this year. The department attributed the increase to a larger national awareness of college sexual assaults.

ASU: More sexual-assault reports reflect positive change

“As ASU has fought to prevent sexual violence and harassment, the university has worked to create an environment in which people feel empowered to seek help,” ASU said in a statement.

“Researchers and advocates emphasize that, as colleges and universities do more to encourage reporting, the number of reports will rise as awareness and trust grow.”

ASU cited a recent survey from the American College Health Association survey which showed that 60.9 percent of ASU students reported they had ever received information from their university about sexual assault and relationship violence, up from 50.1 percent two years ago.

“Those steps mark substantial progress, but we are determined to do more. We find in this year’s crime data ample reason to increase our already aggressive education and awareness efforts, both in terms of mandatory training and support for peer-to-peer advocacy. Our goal is nothing short of a campus where all members of the ASU community feel safe and respected.”

Failings of the Clery Act

In April, The Arizona Republic investigated off-campus crimes near ASU’s Tempe campus and found the number of reported rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults and burglaries would increase dramatically if off-campus crimes were added to Clery stats.

For instance, if the area near the ASU campus in Tempe were included in the school’s crime report:

  • The number of reported rapes/sexual assaults would more than quadruple.
  • Robberies would increase 15-fold.
  • Aggravated assaults would jump more than 20 times.

What is the Clery Act?

The Clery Act is named after Jeanne Clery, a college student who was raped and murdered in her dorm in 1986. It requires colleges and universities that get federal funding to share information about campus crime and their safety and security policies.

Experts who have studied the Clery Act say that’s a huge shortcoming of the law: The statistics include some crimes but exclude others based on where the crime occurs.

“It’s the only number that we have, but it is not highly reliable,” said Steven Janosik, an associate professor of higher education at Virginia Tech who has conducted at least eight studies of the Clery Act since 2003.

Parents don’t draw the distinction between on-campus and off-campus crime if their child is the victim, experts said.

Here was a good article on understanding CLERY.

ASU POLICE will send you dumb ass advisories like this, while they cannot staff the police department 10 years running without sending out requests for officers to work overtime to cover shift shortages. (AS LOW AS 1, 2, 3 officers on patrol at any campus, some none at all.) ASU will send you advisories like this, while not telling you about DEAD BODIES, ARMED ROBBERIES, RAPES, BURGLARIES…BUT YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT STRAY FOXES AND BEE HIVES that pose a threat to nobody by a person who might have a bee allergy.

The “High Noon” email that went out to all Conference Attendees of the International Association of College Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) hosted by the ASU Police Dept.

Iaclea 2016 conference Arizona state university police

After some requests for the original “high noon” email that had ASUPD command on suicide watch here it is. This was originally posted in comments, but not published in comments. Thank you Ted for joining this growing insurgency for justice by putting together this treasure trove of information we were previously not aware of.

Despite our knowledge of the corrupt inner workings of ASU Police Dept, we were somewhat surprised about the depravity tolerated, protected, and by default sanctioned by the Arizona State University administration.

There will be posts about the inexcusable Arizona State University War on Women!

HERE’S THE EMAIL:

Arizona State University Police Department Command were Embarrassed Internationally During the IACLEA 2016 Conference!!!

Iaclea 2016 conference Arizona state university police

Recently the Arizona State University Police Department Command were Embarrassed Internationally During the IACLEA 2016 Conference. Iaclea 2016 Conference

ASUPD shouldn’t be a part of IACLEA. Look at what the IACLEA’s own president said about police officer staffing! Video on the facts

The dastardly culprits decided to send this email explaining how they came by the information. Perhaps they are worried about ASUPD reaching out to their overtime cronies at AZDPS to do another CRIMINAL investigation on randomly picked ASU Police Employees. Whatever the case we thoroughly enjoyed their creation BRAVO!

Keep up the good work!

*After seeing the news conference with the former officers in the lawsuit and especially the details of the following video we decided to update this post. Thank you to the contributors.

The Arizona State University Police Department gets ASU in the news again. Ignore problems, they will just go away.

Arizona State University Police Department Administration makes the news again
See the full news video here:
http://www.12news.com/news/local/valley/former-cops-asu-pd-misreported-crime-stats/255643867

TEMPE, Ariz. – For the first time, former Arizona State University police officers have publicly spoken out against their former department, accusing it and the university, of misreporting crime statistics in violation of the Clery Act.

The Clery Act is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to report and publish crime statistics involving their students.

Former ASU police detective Matt Parker said he examined the statistics himself and compared them to the published Clery Act report.

Parker said crimes that are reported to ASU’s administration, but not investigated as crimes, are supposed to be included in the school’s Clery Act data. But he said those reports did not always make it to the police department.

Former Officer William O’Hayer said he was even encouraged to downplay some crimes.

“Maybe lower a felony to a misdemeanor, or something of that nature, yeah,” O’Hayer said. “It’s pretty blatant.”

“That’s the culture there,” former police aide Ben Flynn said. “Just sweep it under the rug — ignore it; it’ll go away.”

“It’s the norm, where they decide what they want to report, what they don’t want to report,” former Sgt. Patrick Murphy said.

Murphy said he was Parker, O’Hayer and Flynn’s supervisor at ASU PD.

All four officers have since left the ASU police force on their own.

They, along with four other officers, are suing the ASU Police Department.

ASU declined to answer questions on camera, but sent a statement that read: “We do not comment on pending litigation, regardless of how unsubstantiated, malicious or meritless it may be.”

The university has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

In 2014 the Department of Education confirmed it was investigating ASU and 55 other schools for possible violations.

Since then ASU has appointed its first full-time Title IX coordinator.

The ASU Police Video Chronicles: Volume 4 International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Adminstrators (IACLEA) Edition ASU Police Admin has no business being there!

ASU police department has no business hosting IACLEA International Assoc of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators

Check out the video here: https://vid.me/TT1G#1s

This time there’s a video featuring even more embarrassment for ASU Police Chief Mike Thompson and the University administration. It may be hard to believe, but ASU continues to issue the same meaningless response without anything of substance, showing it has everything to hide. This is true, just WAY too many skeletons in the closet to hide, the public will know the truth.

It looks like more people are speaking out about the INTEGRITY FREE ZONE of the Arizona State University Police Department, God Bless your efforts. We look forward to seeing more.

Honest Clery Reporting means little to some administrator who only cares about their personal career, profit, and business portfolio. It means the world to the families of students sent to a place not as safe as advertised, who were lied to about their safety, and then tragically suffered the consequences of bad data.
