The document discusses the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, also known as the Clery Act. It requires colleges and universities to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. The Act is named after Jeanne Clery, who was raped and murdered in her residence hall at Lehigh University in 1986. It mandates that schools report statistics on certain crimes in specified geographic areas. Colleges must designate campus security authorities (CSAs) who are responsible for reporting crimes to be included in the annual security report. The training document outlines CSAs' responsibilities and the crimes and locations that must be included in the statistics.

2. Jeanne Clery Campus Security Policy &
Crime Statistics Disclosure Act (Clery Act)
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus
Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is
the landmark federal law, originally known as the
Campus Security Act, that requires colleges and
universities across the United States to disclose
information about crime on and around their
campuses.
The "Clery Act" is named in memory of 19
year old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann
Clery (pictured right) who was raped and murdered
while asleep in her residence hall room on April 5,
1986.

3. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy
and Campus Crime Statistics Act as a part of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, is a federal law that requires colleges
and universities to disclose certain timely and annual
information about campus crime and security policies.
All public and private institutions of postsecondary education
participating in federal student aid programs are subject to it.
Violators can be "fined" by the U.S. Department of Education,
the agency charged with enforcement of the Act and where
complaints of alleged violations should be made, or face other
enforcement action.

4. How Does it Impact the College?
The Clery Act requires that the College:
• Publish and distribute an Annual Campus Security &
Fire Safety Report
• Inform prospective students & employees about the
Annual Campus Security & Fire Safety Report
• Notify the campus in a timely way of crimes that
threaten safety
• Support and keep up-to-date a daily log of all reported
crimes

5. Statistics for the Annual Security & Fire
Safety Report are collected from a wide
variety of sources, Campus Security
Authorities (CSA) are just one source.
This is where you come in…..
What does this mean to you?

6. There are 4 categories of Campus Security Authorities as
defined by the Clery Act:
1. A campus police department or a campus security
department of an institution.
2. Any individual or organization specified in an institution’s
statement of campus security policy as one to which
students and employees should report criminal offences.
3. An official of an institution who has significant
responsibility for student and campus activities.
4. An official is defined as any person who has the authority
and the duty to take action or respond to particular issues

8. Due to the Clery Act, every college/university must have an
Annual Security & Fire Safety Report (ASR). This report is a
federal law requirement.
The ASR must include statistics for the crimes that are
outlined within the Clery Act.
The statistics for these crimes are generated from the reports
that are received by a CSA, even if there is no police
investigation. Remember, a CSA includes traditional campus
security, as well as other faculty and staff.
Why do we need CSAs?

9. A CSA’s key responsibility is to encourage
crime victims and witnesses to report
crimes to any campus security authority
or campus security officer.
What are the Responsibilities of a CSA?

10. If someone tells you about a crime or an
incident that may be a crime, record the
information and report it.
What are the Responsibilities of a CSA?

11. Please remember, just because you are identified
as a CSA, this does not mean that you are
responsible for conducting a deeper
investigation into the incident.
Simply report what you have been told and the
investigation will be conducted by other
entities.
What are the Responsibilities of a CSA?

12. If you question whether or not to report an
incident, be safe and report it.

13. Timely Warning:
In order to keep the campus community
informed about safety and security
issues on an ongoing basis, an
institution must alert the campus
community of certain crimes in a manner
that is timely and will aid in the
prevention of similar crimes.
Timely Warning & Immediate Notification

14. Immediate Notification:
Some crimes may pose risk to the campus
community and the campus require immediate
notification and instructions.
If you feel the incident you are reporting may meet
the above criteria notify Campus Security
IMMEDIATELY at 716-839-8246. Call 911 from any
campus phone. Campus security will notify the VP
for Student Affairs as per the College’s timely
warning policy.
Timely Warning & Immediate Notification

15. What:
• Location
• Day
• Date
• Time
• Nature of the criminal activity
• Any other information that may allow the
College to improve campus safety and/or offer
community members concrete steps to
improve their own safety measures
What & Where to Report

16. Encourage the person to report the crime to
police. (But don’t insist)
The decision isn’t yours.
A person who talks to you may not want to
talk to Police—and doesn’t have to.
If they don’t you must make a report.
What & Where to Report

17. Where:
• All incidents, including sexual assault,
should be reported to Daemen Security
at 839-8246 or at security@daemen.edu*

20. Violations (legal and/or college policy) that must be reported:
• Any liquor, drug or weapons violations – both arrests and
disciplinary referrals. This includes students and employees.
• Remember…even though a person may legally possess
liquor, drugs or weapons, they may still be in violation of a
Daemen College policy and is, therefore, reportable.
 When in doubt report – Campus Security will make a determination on whether
there was a violation of law.
Arrests & Disciplinary Referrals

21. Campuses must include three years of
statistics for arrests in these areas.
Campuses must also include statistics for
persons not arrested but referred for

• If a campus official initiates disciplinary
action against a student who was referred.
• When officials keep a record of the referral.

categories. Campuses need to collect and report
statistics from each one. These Categories include:

• Non-campus buildings or property
• Public property
Which Locations Should Statistics be
Collected From?

24. Buildings or properties the College owns and
