CLERY ACT CRIME CLASSIFICATION

SHOULD I COMPLETE A CSA INCIDENT REPORT?

Yes!  Reporting is Supporting. Submit a completed report form when a student or employee discloses a Clery crime to you. 

If you are in doubt whether an incident is reportable, please err on the side of reporting the matter.  Do not hesitate to complete a report based upon whether you believe the crime was  Clery reportable— that decision is made later by the compliance officer.

Some things to consider:

  • If it's a Clery Reportable Location and a Clery Act Crime, this is Clery Reportable and complete a CSA Incident Report form if University Police were not involved.
  • If it's not a Clery Reportable Location and is not Clery Act Crime, then this is not Clery Reportable and do not complete CSA Incident Report Form
  • If it's a Clery Reportable Location yet not a Clery Act Crime, then this is not Clery Reportable and do not complete CSA Incident Report Form

Once your report is submitted, the Clery Compliance Officer will evaluate the report and make a determination whether it is a Clery-reportable crime.
