Mandatory 2016/2017 Annual Clery & CSA Training

PRESENTED BY YOUR MCNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPARTMENT 24 HOURS-A-DAY 337-475-5711

YOUR JOB AS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A CAMPUS SECURITY AUTHORITY

(CSA) POSITION, MAKING THIS TRAINING A MANDATORY ANNUAL

REQUIREMENT.

RULE OF

THUMB

The focus of this training and your statutory

duties as a Campus Security Authority (CSA)

might sometimes seem complicated even

daunting.

However, the simplest Rule of Thumb to

follow is that if you See It, Hear It then

Report it immediately to the University

Police Dispatch 24 hours-a-day.

CSAs are not required to interpret a crime

report, or even judge whether it may be

valid or not. But, if you receive a report of

criminal activity or observe a crime, then if

you report that information to University

Police your responsibility has been

completed.

Our first goal is always the safety of a crime

victim and to ensure that they receive the

support services, medical treatment or

victim assistance they deserve.

UNIVERSITY POLICE OPERATE 24 HOURS-A-

DAY/365 DAYS-A-YEAR. YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL

OUR DISPATCH CENTER AT ANYTIME.

In April, 1986 Jeanne Clery 19 years-old, was raped and murdered

in her dorm room at Lehigh University. Her assailant, who is

spending life behind bars without parole, was also a student at

the school whom Jeanne did not know prior to the attack.

Prior top this attack other assaults had occurred in and around

her dorm room complex. There has been a rapid increase of

violent and non-violent incidents on campus; while crimes were

being reported to campus authorities, administrators often failed

to provide adequate warnings about those incidents, and there

were no uniform laws mandating them to do so.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and

Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) of 1991 was enacted in her

memory by Congress. The Act required colleges and universities

to disclose their security policies, keep a public crime log, publish

an annual crime report and provide timely warnings to students

and campus employees about a crime posing an immediate or

ongoing threat to students and campus employees. The law also

ensures certain basic rights for victims of campus sexual assaults

and requires the U.S. Department of Education to collect and

disseminates campus crime statistics. The Act has since been

amended several times.

Overview

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.

"A personal note about Jeannie...she was your typical

freshman. She was a good student, well-liked, and a tad shy,

but social. She was pretty, athletic, and had an infectious

laugh. She was slightly a tomboy, and obviously grew up in a

house with two brothers as she didn't take much crap from her

guy friends and could have probably beat most of us in an arm

wrestle. She was our friend, my occasional date, a great person

to hang out with, just one of our group. [She was] special..." -

Andy Cagnetta, Friend of Jeanne

"Jeanne loved Lehigh and she loved her Lehigh friends. I was

pleased to see her growing into a mature young woman.

Jeanne would tell me stories of her time at Lehigh, like being

thrown upside down in a trash barrel, and I would say

kiddingly, 'Were you in slacks?' 'Of course I was, Mom.' And she

loved going to Phi Sig Fraternity, her favorite fraternity. Jeanne

was so sweet and beautiful (more beautiful inside) but also

strong and fun loving. She was joy, total joy." - Connie Clery,

Jeanne's mother

Overview

The

Clery Act

Information disclosed under the Clery Act

can assist students and parents in making

decisions which affect their personal safety.

Each college and university is responsible for establishing appropriate procedures

to implement these requirements.

Clery Act Overview

Lesson 1: Clery Act Overview

What is the Clery Act?

The Act requires institutions of higher

education receiving federal financial aid to report

specific crime statistics on campus and provide safety and crime

information to members of the campus community.

The law is tied to federal student financial aid programs and requires colleges

and universities to make timely warnings, emergency notifications, and provide

annual information about campus crime statistics and security policies.

Violators can be fined up to $37,000 per incident by the U.S. Department of

Education, the agency charged with enforcement of the Act.

Why the Concern about Crime Reports?

Many crimes, especially sexual assaults, are not

always reported to police.

Nationwide it is estimated by the Federal Bureau

of Justice Statistics that up to 42% of serious

violent crime (defined as rape or sexual assault,

robbery, or aggravated assault), is not reported to

the police.

The Clery Act requires that we gather and publish

crime data from multiple sources (including

Campus Security Authorities) to ensure that

students and others know about potential

dangers on campus.

Lesson 1: Clery Act Overview

Requirements of the Clery Act

. Disclose, collect, classify and count crime reports and statistics

. Identify & Train Campus Security Authorities. About 400 at McNeese.

. Issue Crime Alerts - timely warning for any Clery Act-specified crime that

represents an ongoing threat to the safety of students or employees.

. Issue Emergency & Timely Warning Notifications upon confirmation of

significant emergency or dangerous situations or ongoing threats.

. Publish Annual Security Report (ASR)

. Submit Crime Statistics to Department of Education.

. Maintain a publicly available daily crime log

. Implement missing student notification procedures

. Maintain Fire Safety information - including fire log, annual fire report

with statistics and policy statements.

Lesson 1: Clery Act Overview

Requirements of the Clery Act

Requires institutions to report (annually and on-going)

the following:

Where crimes occurred

Type of crimes reported

Track the number of selected arrests by crime type.

Employees and students are notified by October 1 of each year that the

campus annual security report is updated and available.

The McNeese State University Annual Security Report is available on-

line at: http://www.mcneese.edu/f/c/1ad39649

The current report is the 2016 Report which was Published September 29, 2016,

covering crime data reported during calendar year 2015.

Lesson 1: Clery Act Overview

Review

Many crimes, especially sexual assaults, are not always reported to the police.

McNeese has a low incidence of sex crimes as well as felony crimes in part because the campus has

a high number of commuter students and a low number of dormitory residents.

The Clery Act requires institutions of higher education receiving federal financial

aid to report specific crime statistics on campus and provide safety and crime

information to members of the campus community.

Each campus is responsible for establishing appropriate procedures to implement

these requirements.

Employees and students are notified by October 1 of each year that the campus

Annual Security Report (ASR) is updated and published on the police web page.

University Police also publishes an Annual Update Report which provides not just

specific crime data but also information on the activities of and services provided

by the police department.

This can be downloaded from the University Police web page at www.mcneese.edu/police

Lesson 1: Clery Act Overview

Lesson 2:

Campus Security Authority

What is a Campus Security Authority?

The Clery Act requires that we gather and publish

crime data from multiple sources, including

Campus Security Authorities.

The law defines 4 categories of a Campus Security Authority:

University Police

Non-police security staff responsible for monitoring University property

People/Offices designated under our policy as those to whom crimes should be

reported

Officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities

Faculty are exempt unless the faculty member serves as an Advisor to a club or

organization on campus.

Cafeteria staff, Maintenance & Facility workers, and clerical staff are not CSAs.

Lesson 2: Campus Security Authority

How is a campus official designated as a

Campus Security Authority (CSA)?

CSAs are defined by job function and not by title.

Functions

A CSA is anyone who has significant responsibility for student AND campus

activities. This may be YOU.

The law defines "significant responsibility broadly and includes, but is not

limited to:

Student Housing

Student Discipline and Campus Judicial Proceedings

Student Organization Advisors

Approximately 400 McNeese State University employees are defined as CSAs.

Paid and un-paid students greatly add to this total.

Lesson 2: Campus Security Authority

Who are CSAs?

Lesson 2: Campus Security Authority

CSA Reporting Exemptions

1. Licensed professional mental health counselors

2. Pastoral counselors (employed by a religious organization to provide confidential

counseling) and are working within the scope of their license or religious assignment.

Although licensed professional mental health and pastoral counselors are exempt from Clery

Act requirements, the University encourages such counselors to tell victims about the

Confidential Reporting Process if, in their judgment, it is appropriate to discuss crime reporting

with this client

A confidential report of a crime can be made to the University

Police on-line using the Silent Witness Program:

https://www.mcneese.edu/police/silent_witness_form

Victims have the option of reporting crimes confidentially to a CSA. This means the University

will keep a record that a crime occurred but will not publish any identifying information.

Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crime statistics.

Lesson 2: Campus Security Authority

What If The Person Reporting the Crime to Me is in Imminent Danger?

If the person reporting the crime is on campus and is imminent danger or harm:

1.Obtain the cell phone number and/or campus extension.

2.Confirm their location.

3.Call University Police from any campus extension and dial 9-1-1. This call will go directly

to the University Police Dispatch Center.

4.If you only have a cell or are on a non-campus phone extension, 9-1-1 and request the

McNeese State University Police Department when the 9-1-1 operator comes on the line.

5.Tell the person who reported their dangerous situation to you to also dial 9-1-1 just as

you are doing.

If the incident is occurring off campus:

1.Dial 9-1-1 using your cell phone or off campus phone.

2.Tell the person reporting their dangerous situation to you to also dial 9-1-1 so that local

law enforcement and emergency services can be dispatched to their location.

Lesson 3: Responsibilities and Reporting

Reporting depends on location

Lesson 3: Responsibilities and Reporting

Reporting depends on location

Lesson 3: Responsibilities and Reporting

YOU MUST REPORT IF THE INCIDENT OCCURRED

Off Campus, but closely related to the University

Under the law, some off-campus locations are deemed so closely related to the

University that crimes at these locations are included in campus crime statistics.

Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization

recognized by McNeese State University.

Any building or property owned or controlled by McNeese State University

that is used in direct support of the Universitys educational purposes, is

frequently used by students, and is not on-campus property.

Off campus at training or sporting events where a location is leased, used

rented for more than 1 night or on a reoccurring basis, (usually at a hotel).

Reporting depends on location

Lesson 3: Responsibilities and Reporting

NOT A MANDATORY report if

A person tells you about a crime that occurred before he/she came to the University

While he/she was away from campus and not involved in a University activity (e.g., at

home during spring break)

When in doubt, call the University Police. Even if an incident occurred off campus, the

University Police want to ensure that every victim receives the care they deserve.

ALWAYS ENCOURAGE A CRIME VICTIM TO REPORT. A PRIMARY

CONCERN OF THE UNIVERSITY POLICE IS TO ENSURE THAT EVERY

VICTIM RECEIVES SUPPORT AND THE SERVICES THAT WILL HELP

THEM THROUGH ANY CRITICAL INCIDENT OR CRISIS SITUATION.

Reporting an Incident

As a Campus Security Authority

you are required to:

. You do not have to prove what happened

or who was at fault. The police do this.

.You are not suppose to find the perpetrator.

.Do not identify the Victim unless the Victim consents to be identified.

.Get the facts - When, what, where, who, etc.

. Report all Clery Act related crimes immediately to the University Police

Department so a victim is safe, a complete investigation is begun, individuals are

held accountable and so that the University can comply with timely warning

policies and have accurate crime statistics for the federally required Annual

Security Report.

. Inform victims of their options, including confidential reporting options and

offer referrals to resources.

Lesson 3: Responsibilities and Reporting

Reporting an Incident - Get the Facts

Important Questions to Ask

Lesson 3: Responsibilities and Reporting

Reporting an Incident - Next steps

. Simply call the University Police at 337-475-5711 or at extension 5711 from a

University phone 24 hours-a-day. This is the simplest and quickest way to report

and get help for a victim.

. Describe the incident/crime as completely and accurately as you can.

. You do not need to make a judgment about or investigate what happened, just

get the facts. CSAs ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A CRIME

TOOK PLACE THAT IS THE FUNCTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

-or-

.Complete a Crime Reporting/Incident Form (forms available from Clery Act

Coordinator and online).

Note: If the victim reports a crime to you, but wishes to remain anonymous, you

still need to notify University Police or submit a Crime Incident Report (but, do not

need to identify the victim).

Lesson 3: Responsibilities and Reporting

Reporting an Incident - Filling out the Report

. Answering questions on the form will help determine the correct category

(you dont have to know the specific crime classification)

. Write a brief description of the incident

Timely reporting is critical!

Victims should also be advised to contact

University Services to file a complaint for a

Student Code Violation and the Title IX

Coordinator to file a harassment or sexual

assault complaint these are separate

actions above and beyond a traditional police investigation.

Lesson 4: Review and Guidance

Anonymous Reporting

If the victim of a crime reports to you that they dont

want to make a police report.

A victim is not required to report their victimization to the police.

But a report to the police may prevent someone else from becoming a victim.

An anonymous report will always be accepted by University Police:

Either directly from a victim, through a CSA, or via the University Police

Silent Witness On-line reporting program at:

http://www.mcneese.edu/police/silent

.University Police have advanced training is sexual assault investigations and are

victim centered. MSU-PD works closely with the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner

(SANE) Program who also provide in-service training to our Officers.
