The University of Connecticut released its Annual Security and Fire Report on Sept. 30, containing crime and fire statistics on all UConn campuses for the years of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The report is released annually at the end of September in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, a law requiring colleges and universities to report crime data and detail safety procedures on their campuses.
Among the Clery reportable crimes on the Storrs campus, three reports of rape were recorded in 2025, down from eight reports in 2024 and eight reports in 2023. Of the three 2025 reports recorded, one was on non-campus property. The report also showed four reports of fondling in 2025, after two reports in 2024 and four reports in 2023.
Among the Violence Against Women Act violations on the Storrs campus, seven reports of stalking were recorded in 2025, up from one report in 2024 and two reports in 2023. There were also five reports of domestic violence in 2025, down from 10 reports in 2024 and nine reports in 2023.
As explained in the report, the Violence Against Women Act introduced amendments to the Clery Act which require reports to define and disclose forms of violence against women such as stalking or dating violence.
Among the weapons, drugs and liquor violations, disciplinary referrals for liquor law violations fell to nine reports recorded in 2025, down from 64 in 2024 and 219 in 2023. There were eight arrests for liquor law violations in 2025, up from two in 2024 and none in 2023.
These statistics and more can be found under the campus crimes statistics section of the report. The section also provides definitions of each reportable crime.
The fire safety section of the report noted the introduction of a new special hazards truck at the UConn Fire Department which went into service in early 2026, replacing an older apparatus.
Compiled by the UConn Division of University Safety, the report also includes university safety and discrimination policies, emergency preparedness plans and information on security and safety programming.
An email from University Communications linking the report was sent to all university employees and students on Sept. 30, inviting them to read the report on behalf of Gene Labonte, police chief of the UConn Police Department and associate vice president of University Safety.
According to the email, students may obtain a physical copy of the report at the University Division of Safety facility at 126 N. Eagleville Road in Storrs.
