Definition of Campus Security Authority

A Campus Security Authority (CSA) is a Clery-specific term that encompasses groups of individuals associated with an institution whose functions involve relationships with students and campus activities.  CSAs can include public safety officers, law enforcement officers, academic and advising counselors, student activities personnel, athletic coaches, Vice Presidents of Student Success, Vice Presidents of Instructions, Deans (or other senior administrative personnel who deal regularly with students), student orientation staff, overseers and advisors to student clubs and organizations, study abroad faculty and staff, human resource managers, and staff involved in student discipline and campus judicial proceedings. If you are not sure if you are a CSA, then act as if you are and submit and follow the instructions on this site.

CSAs who receive a report of one of the below Clery crimes must immediately submit this form to the LSC Clery Compliance Officer, UNLESS the crime has already been reported to the LSC Police and a police officer arrived and took a police report.

It is important that CSAs must report all Clery crimes immediately to the Clery Compliance Officer.  CSAs have an important role in LSC’s compliance with the law. CSA crime reports are used by LSC to:

• fulfill its responsibility to annually disclose Clery crime statistics, and
• to issue timely warnings for Clery crimes that pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus community.

Upon receiving a report of the following crimes (and the crime was not reported to LSC Police), the CSA must immediately complete and send the below form.  The form is sent directly from this website.  Please complete all requested information on the form.
