OSU POLICE DEPARTMENT. Crime Log Instructions. Crime log case numbers do not run sequentially. The OSU Police Department assigns a case number for all reportable activities, both criminal and non-criminal. Only case numbers generated for criminal activity are listed in the crime log. Crimes are in chronological order. The most recent crimes are at the bottom of the list. The crime log incidents may not match the crime statistics, as the crime log is compiled using the State of Oklahoma Criminal Statutes, and the crime statistics are required by law to be compiled using the Federal Uniformed Crime Reporting crime definitions. Hard copies of the Crime Logs are also available at the OSU Police Department during normal business hours. Note: Incidents with a case number that start with “NA” involve information received from other University Administrators, who are defined by federal law as “Campus Security Authorities”. These administrators share non-identifying information, with the OSU Police Department, that is provided by the victim. In these incidents, the victim did not file an official police report and therefore, it is not always possible to provide information regarding the five areas typically covered in the Crime Log, i.e. (Nature/Classification, Date Reported, Date Occurred, Time, General Location, Off Campus (Y or N), Disposition. Because an official report was not filed, there will be no disposition. These incidents are reported to the OSU Police Department for statistical purposes and are posted to the Crime Log as the OSU Police receives the information. According to Federal Law, an institution may withhold any of the required fields of entry, i.e. the nature, date, time, location and/or disposition if any of the following conditions apply:. 1. Law prohibits the disclosure. 2. If disclosure would jeopardize the confidentiality of the victim. 3. If disclosure would jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation or the safety of an. individual. 4. If disclosure would cause a suspect to flee or evade detection. 5. If disclosure would result in the destruction of evidence. 1. OSU POLICE DEPARTMENT. ACTIVITY SUMMARY. OCTOBER 2021. NATURE (CLASSIFICATION). CASE NUMBER. DATE REPORTED /. TIME. DATE OCCURRED /.

The law takes effect on Nov. 1, 2026. What kinds of camps are affected? Youth Camps: Programs providing organized recreational, educational, or residential activities for individuals under 18 years of age. This includes day, overnight, seasonal, and specialty camps, whether for-profit or nonprofit. Youth Camps must update hazard assessments and Emergency Action Plans every three years. Exclusions: Single-day programs without oversight and programs operated exclusively by parents for their own children. Recreational Campgrounds: Facilities that provide grounds for visitors. Recreational Campgrounds must update Emergency Action Plans annually. The EAP must address potential severe weather hazards, evacuation and sheltering procedures, emergency communications and other measures to protect campers and staff. The requirements may apply to OSU colleges, departments and employees organizing youth camps and outdoor programs, whether held on an OSU campus or at an off-campus location. Camps held at OSU facilities: Organizers should work with OSU Emergency Management to identify the applicable emergency plan and ensure appropriate preparations are in place. Camps held at other locations: Organizers should confirm that the host facility has an appropriate site-specific hazard assessment and EAP and familiarize themselves with its emergency procedures.
