How Clery Crime Statistics Disclosures are Prepared

Each year, the Clery Compliance Team gathers Clery Crime statistics for the purpose of compiling the disclosures required by the Clery Act. These statistics are then reported as required to the U.S. Department of Education and published in the AFSSR. The statistics are compiled from reports made to the OCSEM by CSAs or received from other local law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over Non-Campus Property or Public Property.

Campus Security Authorities (CSAs)

The Clery Compliance Team will use their best efforts to identify its CSAs, notify them of their status as CSAs, train them on their responsibilities as CSAs, and receive and track all incident reports received from them. The University identifies Campus Security Authorities by examining the job descriptions or assignments of employees to determine whether they are expected, as part of their duties, to have security responsibilities or significant responsibilities for student or campus activities. Department directors are expected to assist in identifying employees who have such duties, even if on a temporary basis. All identified CSAs are notified upon identification and annually of their responsibilities by the Clery Compliance Team. CSAs will undergo in-person and online training on an ongoing basis as appropriate to enable them to remain current in their knowledge of their roles and responsibilities. 

Campus Security Authorities are required to:

• Participate in an annual CSA training and periodic additional trainings.
• Report to the PCSO all alleged crimes and Hazing incidents that occurred on CSU 福利小视频’s Clery Geography that are reported to them in good faith by others, as well as information of any alleged crimes or Hazing incidents that they personally witness. It doesn't matter whether the individuals involved in the crime, or reporting the crime, are associated with the University, or when it allegedly occurred; all alleged crimes must be reported. To record and report information about a crime reported, the CSA should complete a Crime Report Form.
• Immediately contact the PCSO if notified of a crime in progress or an ongoing threat to the CSU 福利小视频 campus community by calling 911 or 719-549-2373.

Campus Security Authorities are not to investigate any circumstances, they are only to report what happened and where (as exactly as possible), what date and time the crime allegedly occurred, any names associated with the complaint, and the date and time the report is being made.

Reporting a Crime, Hazing Incident, or Other Emergency

Information on how to report a crime will be included in the AFSSR. Colorado State University 福利小视频 has designated the OCSEM as the office to which anyone may report any and all crimes and Hazing incidents. To report a crime or Hazing incident in progress or an immediate threat to campus safety, DIAL 911 from any phone and identify your location to the dispatcher.

To report a fire, DIAL 911 from any phone and identify your location and the location of the fire.

To report any other emergency in progress, DIAL 911.

To report a crime or Hazing incident that is no longer in progress and is not an immediate threat, use the forms on the OCSEM web page or call (719) 549-2373.

The University encourages the prompt reporting of crimes, Hazing incidents and other emergencies to law enforcement. This prompt reporting allows for investigation, crime reduction, community awareness, and accurate statistical data, all of which enhance safety.

Crimes may be reported anonymously by calling the CSU 福利小视频 Tip Line at (719) 549-2376 or by reporting it to any CSA, or to the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE).

The AFSSR will contain a description of procedures for students and others to report criminal acts or other emergencies occurring on campus, including a list of the titles of each person or organization to whom students and employees should report information concerning a crime or emergency.

The AFSSR will also contain information for students and employees on what to do in the case of an incident of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or Hazing, how to report such incidents, and the confidential and non-confidential resources provided by the University to respond to these incidents and assist those involved.

Reporting Crimes on a Voluntary, Confidential Basis

Victims or witnesses to a crime or Hazing incident may report it on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of Clery Crime statistics. Procedures for doing so will be included in the AFSSR. Among the confidential resources to whom such reports may be made are designated victim advocates, Pastoral Counselors, and Professional Counselors.

Pastoral Counselors and Professional Counselors who are appropriately credentialed and hired by the University to serve in a counseling role are not considered CSAs when they are acting in their primary role as counselors. However, the University encourages Pastoral and Professional Counselors to notify those whom they are counseling of the many available reporting options, including all voluntary, confidential reporting processes.

The University will not publish the names or other identifying information (addresses, ID numbers, etc.) of victims of sexual or gender violence crimes in any public record (unless required to do so by law), including in the Daily Crime and Daily Fire Logs, Timely Warnings, or Emergency Notifications, nor publish any accommodations or protective measures provided to a victim unless such confidentiality impairs the effectiveness of the measure.

Clery Compliance Team

The Clery Compliance Team (CCT) includes, but is not limited to, the Clery Manager, Deputy General Counsel or designee, Title IX Coordinator, Student Conduct Director, Director of Campus Safety and Emergency Management, PCSO Campus Leadership, and Public Information Officer. The Clery Manager may invite to the CCT any other campus representatives, as needed, such as representatives from Facilities Management, Residence Life, Human Resources, Environmental Health and Safety, and Athletics.

Responsibilities of the CCT include, but are not limited to, preparing the AFSSR, gathering annual crime and fire statistics, identifying CSAs, developing training for CSAs and other campus stakeholders, liaising with the Title IX Coordinator in the Office of Institutional Equity, and advising the Clery Manager on the issuance of Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications, and developing an annual Campus Hazing Transparency Report to be published in or in addition to the AFSSR in compliance with 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f).

Notifications to the Campus Community of Crimes and Emergencies

The University has a separate that it will follow in the event of an incident occurring on its Clery Geography.

Security of and Access to Campus Facilities

Physical security is a critical part of the safety we enjoy at CSU 福利小视频. The OCSEM, Residence Life and Housing, and Facilities Management are key partners in the maintenance of the security effort. They meet regularly to ensure prompt repair of safety-related maintenance issues like door locks, lighting, surveillance systems, etc. Work orders with safety implications are prioritized for immediate review and repair as quickly as possible. University Housing units are secured by exterior key card access after daylight hours. It is the responsibility of all students, employees and others with access to university buildings to use the locks provided and not defeat them by blocking open a door or lending out keys or key cards, pass codes, or identification cards.

Emergency Response and Evacuation

The University has procedures for emergency response and for evacuating the campus, or portions of the campus, when required. These procedures will be described in the AFSSR. In accordance with Clery Act requirements, the University must publish information about the exercises it uses to test its emergency response plans in the AFSSR.

The Clery Act requires that drills be conducted at least annually. Drills may be announced or unannounced. Announced drills will be publicized in advance, and all drills will be documented.

Missing Student Policy

The University has a separate policy on Missing Students, stating what we will do when a student who resides in University Housing is reported missing.

Collecting Fire Statistics

The OCSEM must collect, disclose and publish in the AFSSR fire statistics for each on-campus student housing facility separately for the three most recent calendar years for which data are available. Each such facility must be identified in the statistics by name and street address, regardless of whether any fires have occurred.

Additionally, the AFSSR will provide a description of the fire safety system in each student housing facility.  These descriptions should include mechanisms (e.g., fire extinguishers, fire doors, posted evacuation routes, etc.) or systems related to the detection, warning and control of a fire.

Distribution of the Annual Fire Safety and Security Report

The University will distribute the AFSSR to every student and employee by sending an email by October 1 of each year. This email will contain a summary of the report, the web location where CSU 福利小视频 community members may view the report, and instructions for how to request a paper copy. It also provides a similar statement to every prospective employee and every prospective student by providing notices within job applications and on the Admissions website.

Records Retention

The supporting records used in compiling the AFSSR shall be retained by OCSEM for three years from the latest publication of the report to which they apply. Records to be kept include, but are not limited to, copies of crime reports; the Daily Crime and Daily Fire Logs; records of arrests and referrals for disciplinary action; Timely Warning and Emergency Notification reports; documentation, such as letters to and from law enforcement agencies having to do with Clery Crimes occurring on the University’s Clery Geography; letters to and from Campus Security Authorities; correspondence with the Department of Education regarding Clery Act compliance; and copies of notices to students and employees about the availability of the AFSSR. All documentation should be dated.

福利小视频 County Sheriff’s Office Jurisdiction
