Academy Di Capelli's Annual Security Report, prepared in compliance with the Clery Act and distributed to all students and staff.
Revised 10/04/2025
The U.S. Department of Education requires post-secondary schools to acquire and distribute crime statistics and create policies in compliance with the Clery Act. The following policies are designed to meet those requirements. A copy of this document is available to each student and staff member annually via website or hard copy.
Academy Di Capelli defines the campus as the leased space that the school occupies. The common parking areas immediately in front of, and to the sides of, the Academy are shared by many other tenants and their clientele and are not under the control of the Academy and therefore considered public area. In addition, the access way to the rear of all three buildings in the plaza is considered public property.
Since the Academy has no Security Force, we do not keep a daily log.
The individual responsible for collecting crime data and implementing the distribution of the data is the Campus Security Survey Administrator (CSSA).
The School President and the CSSA are responsible for issuing Timely Warnings. Such warnings are relayed to students and staff at the weekly Saturday meeting when appropriate. The decision to issue a more urgent warning is at the discretion of, and the responsibility of, the School President.
The Crime Report data contains information given by victims, witnesses, or perpetrators of crimes that are defined in the Clery Act. In addition, the Wallingford and East Hartford Police Departments are contacted to acquire police reports that may be appropriate. This information is then reported to the Department of Education by the CSSA annually.
A written report is prepared by the CSSA and distributed to all students and staff each year. This information is then shared with any prospective student during the pre-enrollment process upon request.
Zero-tolerance policy. The Academy has a zero-tolerance policy for the use or distribution of drugs or alcohol. Persons not of legal age found consuming or in possession of alcohol will be reported to law enforcement. Students and/or staff at risk are required to seek counseling and may be put on a leave of absence or terminated. The Academy also has a zero-tolerance policy for any type of physical or sexual assault — students or staff who violate this policy will be terminated.
The Academy has no policy or programs for monitoring students off campus. The Academy has no professional counseling available on campus, but instead provides a list of area services available to the public.
Staff members who obtain evidence of a crime are required to follow the procedures outlined in the Academy's Anti-Harassment & Discrimination Policy, which is given to each student as part of their pre-enrollment packet. All staff members are also given a hard copy of the Anti-Harassment & Discrimination Policy prior to hiring. Any staff member will assist a student in contacting the police to report a crime if asked by the student.
Once a year the Academy holds a prevention and education program with a member of local law enforcement as the guest speaker. Topics covered include crimes involving any type of sexual assault, violations of drug and/or alcohol law, hate crimes, illegal weapons possession, robbery, assault, and burglary.
The talk given by local law enforcement will also include:
The United States Department of Justice maintains a national database of registered sex offenders, which allows the public to search for information regarding registered sex offenders within a state. This database can be accessed online at nsopw.gov. An officer from the Wallingford Police Department is invited each year and discusses sexually related crimes as part of our Crime Awareness Program.
The Academy will make any reasonable accommodation to a student who is the victim of sexual misconduct. In the case of alleged sexual misconduct, both the accuser and the accused will have the right to have others present during a fact-finding meeting held by the Academy (see VAWA policy).
The purpose of these meetings is to determine if school policy for student or staff conduct has been violated; it is not a legal proceeding to determine guilt or innocence. No student will be asked to sign a statement of non-disclosure. Both parties will be informed of the Academy's decision.
In cases involving sexual misconduct where the Academy determines its code of conduct has been violated, the offending student or staff member will be terminated.
The Academy's owners, and any person they shall authorize, have the right to request identification and the reason for attendance on campus from any visitor.
