What actually gets reported at Salish Kootenai College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Arson.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Fondling and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.
