2. What is the Clery Act? Why do we have it? Jeanne Clery was raped and murdered while asleep in her dorm room at Lehigh University in 1986. She was murdered by another student who had entered her dorm through three propped doors. Her parents discovered that there had been numerous reports of propped doors and there had been 38 violent crimes in the three years prior to her murder at Lehigh and they believed she would have been more cautious if she had known about the other violent crimes at Lehigh. Jeanne Clery November 23, 1966 April 5, 1986

3. To provide the campus community with accurate, complete, and timely information about crime and the safety of the campus environment so that they can make informed decisions to keep themselves safe. The Purpose of the Clery Act

4. What does Clery require?? • Institutions must collect, classify, count and report crime and fire statistics. • Issue campus alerts to provide the campus community withinformation necessary to make informed decisions about theirhealth and safety: Issue a timely warning for any Clery Act crime that represents an ongoing threat to the safety of students or employees on campus; (may give timely warning for non-Clery crimes). Issue a community alert for crimes occurring off campus. Issue an emergency notification upon the confirmation of significant emergencyor dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety ofstudents or employees occurring on the campus. • Warnings and notifications may be issued in a variety of ways : email, text messaging,posters, electronic message board etc.

5. What does Clery require?? • Provide educational programs and campaigns. • Have procedures for institutional disciplinary action in cases of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. • Publish and Annual Security and Fire Safety Report • (by Oct. 1 of each year)containing safety and security-related policy statements and crime/fire statistics and distribute it or advise where to locate it electronically to all current students and employees. Schools also must inform prospective students and employees about the availability of the report. • Provide missing student notification procedures. If your institution has any on-campus student housing facilities, you must disclose missing student notification procedures that pertain to students residing in those facilities and disclose fire safety information and statistics and maintain a fire log related to those facilities.

6. What does Clery require?? • If your institution maintains a campus police or security department, you must create, maintain and make available a crime log of crimes or alleged criminal incidents that is open to public inspection. • Have established policies and procedures to ensure safety. • Submit statistics to the Department of Education.

7. A suspension or limiting of the institution’s Title IV funding. • The institution’s name will be provided to Congress by the Secretary of Education. • Department of Education can issue civil fines up to $57,317 per violation. • Final Review Determination Reports are public record. • The institution will receive negative media attention and.. • Failure to comply with the Clery Act can be used in court to demonstrate an indifference to security issues during a security liability litigation. Consequences if you are audited and found in non-compliance

8. How do we get these statistics?? Although every institution wants its campus community to report criminal incidents to law enforcement, we know that this doesn’t always happen. Even at institutions with a police department on campus, a student who is the victim of a crime may be more inclined to report it to someone other than the campus police. For this reason, the Clery Act requires all institutions to collect crime reports from a variety of individuals and organizations that Clery considers to be "campus security authorities”. Data is collected from a wide variety of “Campus Security Authorities” to provide the most accurate crime statistics possible ." 

9. The Clery Act requires the institution to identify individuals and organizations that meet the definition of a campus security authority. Dean of Students Athletic directors, coaches and assistant coaches James Madison University Police Department Disability Services Advisors to student organizations Office of Student Accountability and Restorative Practice Office of Residence Life to in include resident advisorsParking Services Fraternity/Sorority Life Vice Presidents, Associate Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice Presidents, Deans, Directors, and Department Heads Military Science “Cadre” Title IX Coordinator (s) University Program Board Community Service Learning Human Resources Ombudsperson Student Withdrawal University Unions University Recreation Trip Advisors Director of Health Center Director of Counseling Center Band Director Orientation Contract Security Victim Advocates Faculty Advisor to student group Outside Police Agencies Student Leadership Parking Services The Clery Act requires all institutions to collect crime reports from campus security authorities. Campus Security Authorities

10. The law defines four categories of Campus Security Authority: • University Police • Non-police security staff responsible for monitoring university property, monitoring events, and providing escorts to include contract security and students. • People/offices designated under our policy as those to whom crimes should be reported– the JMU Police and Title IX. • “Officials with significant responsibility for students and campus activities”. “Official” is defined as any person who has the authorityand duty to take action and respond to particular issues on behalf of the institution. What makes you a Campus Security Authority (CSA)?

11. Who is a Campus Security Authority? Outside Police Agencies Campus Police Department Individuals/Departments who are designated to receive crime reports Officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities Campus Security Authorities Non-Police Security Staff(individuals monitoring events)

12. Define by function, not title. Because official responsibilities and job titles vary significantly on campuses, a list of specific titles is not provided in the regulations. To determine specifically which individuals or organizations are campus security authorities for your institution, consider the functionof that individual or office. Individuals with “Significant responsibility for Student and Campus Activities”

13. Individuals may be designated as Campus Security Authorities based on whether they perform the following functions: • Their official job responsibilities involve significant interaction with students and/or campus activities; • They serve as informal or unofficial mentors to students; • They serve as a member in an office or of a committee to whom students are instructed and informed to report or discuss crimes, allegations of crimes, and other troubling situations, and/or; • They have oversight for disciplinary procedures.

19. . Anonymous Reporting ProcessVictims can report crimes confidentially to the anonymous websiteSilent Witness http://www.jmu.edu/publicsafety/SilentWitness.shtm For this information to be included in crime statistics, however, enough information has to be given to determine a crime has occurred and the location. Anonymous Reporting

20. “To forward crime reports to the reporting structure established by the institution.” (which is the Clery Compliance officer at the JMU Police Department). Crime reports are allegations of Clery Act crimes that he or she receives. The CSA fulfills a federal responsibility that helps the institution annually disclose accurate crime statistics and to help facilitate the issuance of timely warnings, community alerts or emergency notifications for crimes that pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus communityor are in progress.You do not need to witness the crime. Under the Clery Act,a crime is “reported” when it is brought to the attention ofa campus security authority by a victim, witness, other third party, or even the offender. Campus Security Authority’s primary responsibility is…

21. If a campus security authority receives crime information he or she should document it in a crime report and submit it the to Clery Compliance Officer. This is an ongoing process. Just get the facts, the police department will figure out what offense (if any) occurred. Student employees are directed to report all non-emergency criminal incidents to their supervisor for submission to the designated Clery coordinator for their area. What is disclosed, therefore, are statistics from reports of alleged criminal incidents. It is not necessary for the crime to have been investigated by the police or campus security authority, nor must a finding of guilt or responsibility be made to disclose the statistic. When in doubt, report it. Campus Security Authority’s primary responsibility is…

22. CSA crime reports should include sufficient detail, such as dates and locations, and, where appropriate, personally identifying information, including name and contact information if available. This is because a CSA crime report may be the basis for determining if there is a serious or continuing threat to the safety of the campus community that would require an alert- a timely warning, community alert or emergency notification to be issued. If a serious crime that may cause an ongoing threat to the JMU community is reported to anyone who is defined as a Campus Security Authority, that individual should report that incident to the JMU Police Department. The institution has a responsibility to notify the campus community about any crimes which pose an ongoing threat to the community, and as such, Campus Security Authorities are obligated by law to report crimes immediately to the JMU Police Department. If there is any question about whether an ongoing threat exists, the police department to discuss the matter further. James Madison University

23. There is a three part test to determine if the crime is a Clery reportable crime at JMU. Was the crime reported to a Campus Security Authority?Is the crime a Clery reportable crime? Did the crime occur in a Clery reportable geographic area? Is It Clery Reportable Three Part Test
