What are the Responsibilities of a Campus Security Authority?

There are five primary responsibilities of a Campus Security Authority. CSAs serve as a point of contact for individuals who experience or witness a Clery Act crime. CSAs are responsible for accurately documenting the details of the reported crime, including the date, time, location, and a description of the incident.

How to Respond to Clery Act Reports

Let’s learn more about how CSAs can be compassionate when receiving reports of Clery Act crimes. 

1
Compassion & Respect

CSAs should receive reports of Clery Act crimes with compassion by creating a supportive and empathetic environment for individuals who come forward. Treat the reporter with respect, acknowledging the courage it takes to come forward. Validate their experience and reassure them that their report is taken seriously.

2
Active Listening

Actively listen to the reporter without interruption or judgment. Show genuine interest and empathy, allowing the individual to express their feelings and concerns.

3
Emotional Support

Offer emotional support by expressing empathy, understanding, and compassion. Let the reporter know that they are not alone, and inform them about the resources that are available to help them through the process.

Respecting Reporter Anonymity

Respecting Reporter Anonymity

CSAs should respect the confidentiality of the reporter and let them know that the report can be anonymous if they wish. CSAs should inform the reporter about their options for reporting what happened to other on- and off-campus avenues as well, such as law enforcement or the Title IX office. CSAs should provide clear information on the process, potential outcomes, and available support services. CSAs can keep out any information in their reports that might identify the reporter, but they MUST file a report for any Clery Act crimes disclosed to them.
