Crimes at CSUN

For those that didn’t know crime reports that occur on and near school campuses must be published according to the Clery Act. Every campus that participates in the federal student financial aid must release an annual report disclosing the crimes and statistics. Unfortunately, theft and burglary are the most common crimes at CSUN. In 2009 331 thefts and 14 burglaries occurred on the CSUN campus. The most common theft were bikes. In the months of September to November of 2010 21 bikes were stolen according to the crime log published on the CSUN campus police website. It’s important for students to use a safe lock like the U-lock that will be harder for thieves to open. To prevent more bicycles from being stolen, CSUN has created the Matador Bicycle compound were students, staff and faculty can place their bikes and register the bike incase stolen and lost. Remember that it’s important to call the police department if you ever see any suspicious activity on campus to prevent more crimes.
