2. Sample Campus Security Authority Training
Name/Logo of Institution

3. Jeanne Ann Clery Raped and murdered in 1986 in her residence hall
Perpetrator was another student she did not know
Led to national awareness of campus crime
Federal Jeanne Clery Act
Overview of why participants are attending training
Federal law, the Jeanne Clery Act, has reporting requirements to help ensure that the campus stays informed of threats to their safety and that victims receive information and support as needed.

4. Why Me? You’re a trusted person on campus
You’re in a role where someone may come to you for support
The campus has an obligation to work to prevent and respond to crimes on campus
Highlight why specific individuals in the room are responsible to report under the law; as the Department of Education reinforces, victims of crimes may be likely to report a crime to someone other than campus police or security.
The individuals being trained are in positions where that is likely to occur. Later slides will cover in detail who is considered to be a campus security authority under the law, but start with the important piece – they are in roles where they are able to help and most people enter the professions they do for that specific reason. Training them on their roles as campus security authorities will help these individuals feel better prepared if someone does disclose a crime to them.
If possible, use a personal story of how reporting made an individual or campus safer. Tying it to the campus community can help CSAs better understand why their role is so critical. The Clery Center’s campus security authority video ( is also a resource for communicating this message.

5. Who is a campus security authority?
Campus police department or campus security department of an institution
Any individual or individuals who have responsibility for campus security

7. Who is NOT a CSA?
A faculty member who does not have responsibility for student or campus activities beyond the classroom (unless designated by campus as a CSA)
Clerical staff
Cafeteria staff
Facilities or maintenance staff
Note who would not be considered a CSA on the campus. NOTE: If your institution’s designation of CSAs is broader than what’s listed on the slides, it is important to update the material to be accurate to your own list of CSAs.

8. Exempt from Reporting
There are two types of individuals exempt from Clery reporting obligations:
Pastoral Counselor
Professional Counselor
Emphasize that pastoral and professional counselors are exempt from Clery reporting. Note to participants if the institution has a voluntary confidential reporting policy for pastoral or professional counselors.

10. When do crimes need to be reported under the Clery Act?
If a victim calls it to your attention
If a witness or third party calls it to your attention

11. Why do I need to report this information?
Clery Act crime statistics
Daily crime log
Timely warnings that pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus community
Emergency notification
Information and support to victims
Specify that CSA reports are used by the institution in many different ways.
The college or university has to annual disclose crime statistics for crimes that occur within Clery geography to help inform students, parents, and the broader campus community about crime risks. Crime reports are also included within a daily crime log.
The institution must determine whether reported crimes present a serious or continuing threat to the campus community; if so, the college or university would issue a timely warning, a notice that informs the campus about the incident and actions they can take to keep themselves safe, or an emergency notification if there is an immediate threat.
The institution wants to be sure that individuals reporting receive necessary information and support. There are specific requirements as to information and resources that must be provided

12. Support for Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, & Stalking
Additional rights for both students and employees
Rights and options in writing, including:
Information regarding procedures to follow, existing on and off-campus services, options for and assistance in changing academic, living, transportation, and working situation
Specify that requirements under the act afford additional rights to student and employee victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including information on their rights and options in writing
CSAs help ensure that these requirements are met

13. What crimes need to be reported?
Murder/Non-negligent Manslaughter
Manslaughter by Negligence
Sex Offenses
Rape
Fondling
Incest
Statutory Rape
Robbery
Aggravated Assault
Burglary
Motor Vehicle Theft
Arson
Provide list of Clery Act crimes
Specify that they do not need to be the expert in these definitions. If they receive a report they think could fall under the reporting requirements, they should pass it along to those responsible for making the determination as to whether it’s included within the institution’s statistics.

14. What crimes need to be reported? (Continued)
Hate Crimes
Any of the previously listed crimes plus:
Larceny-theft
Simple Assault

Those within the institution’s Clery geography
If you’re unsure whether a crime took place within Clery geography, report it and the campus can make that determination.
Highlight the institution’s Clery geography.
If possible, provide a list or a map to help clarify the terminology.
Reinforce that if a CSA is unsure whether or not an incident falls within Clery geography, they should pass it along to the appropriate individual/department who will make that determination.

17. What information should I share?
Date/time of the incident
General location
Description (nature of the crime)
May need to share more information based on other requirements and/or preference of person reporting
Outline what information needs to be reported
Address Title IX intersections and that all information (including names) will need to be shared with the Title IX coordinator in Title IX-related cases

18. Things to Remember
A CSA is not responsible for determining whether a crime took place
Provide victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking with written notification of their rights and options, which you can find here: [link to where to find document or hand out copies to participants]
Remind CSAs that they are not responsible for determining whether a crime took place – they are only responsible for passing the information along in a timely manner.
Remind CSAs that victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking must be given written notification of their rights and options and provide CSAs with information on where to access that information to share with someone reporting.

19. How to Respond Listen Inform (what you’ll do, what they can expect)
Refer
Thank
Report
You can access the institution’s reporting form here: [link to reporting form or site]
Outline the following steps to participants:
Listen to what the person has to say.
If the person needs assistance, explain how to get help.
Let the person know that you must share the information and who you will tell the information to.
Give the person appropriate referrals as needed. (Police, counseling, etc.)
Thank them for trusting you with their story.
Provide participants with sample reporting form and information on where to access the form after the training is over.
It is helpful to spend a good amount of time on how to respond. It is important that CSAs feel comfortable with their role and know how to respond.

20. Case Study
A student mentions to her boyfriend that a number of rooms on her residence hall floor were broken into during the previous night’s basketball game. She states that she does not know if the perpetrators are from her institution or members of another institution. Later that day, her boyfriend tells his soccer coach the story.
What is required of the soccer coach?
Run through a sample case study or two.
Notice that this sample case study covers a number of elements – that soccer coaches are CSAs, the perpetrator does not have to be a member of the campus community, and that reports from third parties would still be counted.
Consider adding a case study of a report of a sexual assault, stalking, or other crime against person.
Participants should note how to respond. Pay attention that they are able to recognize whether a Clery crime occurred, that they know to pay attention to the geography, and they’re clear on where crimes should be reported.

21. Unsure? Report.
If you are unsure whether or not a crime is a Clery crime, report it.
Remind participants that they are not expected to be an expert, but that they should pass along reports when they receive them.
Reinforce where to report and that reports should be made in a timely manner.
