Campus Security Authority Training - PowerPoint Presentation

Campus Security Authority Training Updated January 2016 What you need to know if you are a Campus Security Authority (CSA) at Maryville University

The Clery Act In 1986 Jeanne Clery, a freshman at Lehigh University, was murdered and sexually assaulted in her campus residence hall room. Her school hadn’t informed students about 38 violent crimes on campus in the three years preceding her murder. Her parents, outraged by the lack of information provided students and families about violent crimes on campuses, formed “ Security on Campus ” and took their fight to Capitol Hill. In 1990, Congress approved the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act later named the “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act” (Clery Act).The Clery Act is a federal law that requires institutions of higher education in the United States to disclose campus security information including crime statistics for the campus and surrounding areas.

The Clery Act The goal of the Clery Act is to ensure students, prospective students, parents and employees have access to accurate information about crimes committed on campus and campus security procedures.Information disclosed under the Clery Act can assist students and parents in making decisions which affect their personal safety.

What is a CSA? (Campus Security Authority) Although every institution wants its campus community to report criminal incidents to law enforcement, we know that this doesn’t always happen. Even at institutions with a police department on campus, a student who is the victim of a crime may be more inclined to report it to someone other than the campus police. For example, a victim of a sexual offense may turn to a resident advisor for assistance, or a student athlete whose car was stolen may report the theft to the school’s athletic director. For this reason, the Clery Act requires all institutions to collect crime reports from a variety of individuals and organizations that Clery considers to be “campus security authorities.” CSA's are a vital part of data collection for the annual safety and security report.

What does this have to do with you? This is where you come in You have been identified as a CSA and it is imperative that you take a few minutes and review this material and complete the required statistical data form. Failure to comply with this law can result in ED issuing the University a $35,000 fine (per each violation).

What makes you a CSA? The law defines four categories of a Campus Security Authority:

Campus Security Authorities are: Defined by function, not title: Significant responsibility for student AND campus activitiesRegular contact with studentsThese definitions include Resident Assistants (RA) Examples include: Dean of Students Residential housing staff Athletic coaches/athletic directorsStudent activities coordinatorsStudent judicial officersVice President of Student AffairsFaculty advisors to student organizations

Examples of individuals who would not meet the criteria for being a CSA: A faculty member who does not have any responsibility for student and campus activities beyond the classroom.Medical doctors responsible for student care.Support Staff ClericalMaintenance Food service employees Those who are exempt by law: Pastoral and licensed Professional counselors They must be working within the scope of their license or religious assignment at the time they receive the crime report.

So I am a CSA? What do I have to do? The function of a campus security authority is to report to the official or office designated by the institution to collect crime report information, such as the campus police or security department, those allegations of Clery Act crimes that he or she concludes were made in good faith. Here at Maryville all reportable crimes should be reported to the public safety department. The director of public safety serves as the University’s Clery compliance coordinator. A campus security authority’s key responsibility is to encourage crime victims and witnesses to report crimes to the campus police/security department. When in doubt, report it !

So what crimes do I have to report? These crimes must be reported: Murder and non-negligent manslaughterNegligent manslaughterRape (New in 2015 )Fondling Incest Statutory Rape RobberyAggravated AssaultBurglaryMotor Vehicle TheftArsonDomestic Violence ( New in 2014 ) Dating Violence ( New in 2014 ) Stalking ( New in 2014 ) Liquor, drug, and weapon law violations You must also report: HATE CRIMES , including any of the crimes previously listed except domestic violence, dating violence, stalking; any crime causing bodily injury; or any of the following crimes that were motivated by hate: Larceny-Theft Simple assault Intimidation Vandalism Definitions are located at the end of this PowerPoint.

Timing and location is critical Be sure to document- When the crime or incident occurred . When it was reported to you. The law requires that the crime be reported for the calendar year in which it was first reported to a Campus Security Authority.A crime must be reported if it occurredOn campus In an on-campus student residence hall On public property adjacent to campus (e.g.. roads, sidewalks) On certain off-campus property such as the land in Augusta, Missouri used for classes. If a crime occurs in a location not listed above it is not reportable under Clery. i.e. a student reports being sexually assaulted while at home during spring break. If you are not sure, contact the director of public safety for assistance.

Clery Geography Map

Just the facts please….. Just get the information the person is willing to tell you. You don’t have to prove what happened or who was at fault. You don’t have to classify the crime. Public safety will determine the proper classification. You aren’t supposed to find the perpetrator. Encourage the person to report the crime to public safety or to local law enforcement . If the person refuses, that is their choice. Please gather as much information as possible and forward to public safety.

Key Things to Remember…….. Please understand that since you are a CSA you can’t take a report “in confidence”. If a person discusses/reports any of the crimes listed in this document then you are required by law to report it to the Clery crime coordinator (Public Safety).You are considered a CSA 24/7— You are never “off duty”. However, if the victim does not want to pursue, we will make every effort to gather just the necessary information for statistical purposes reporting only. Title IX issues may also limit our ability to keep things confidential depending on the circumstances of the reported crime.

Completing the Crime Stat Form If you have no crimes to report please proceed to the bottom of the blog page and complete the form. If you have a crime to report, follow the step by step process and answer all the questions asked about the crime you are reporting.If you report a crime, the director of public safety may contact you to get further information and to make sure we are not “double reporting” the crime. Non-compliance with the Clery Act could result in a $35,000 fine for EACH violation so your participation is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions about the process or if a crime should be reported, please contact the director of public safety at 314.529.9564
