The law requires that the crime be reported for the calendar year in which it was first reported to a Campus Security Authority – not when it occurred, not when it was reported to police

If you become aware of any crimes listed above that have not been reported to the campus Department of Security, please complete a Campus Security Authority report. 

Completing the form will take only a few minutes and your assistance will support the University in maintaining compliance with this federal law. 

If you have any questions regarding reporting obligations, please contact the Director of Security at extension 8113. 

Report Just the Facts

Just get the information the person is willing to tell you.

• You don’t have to prove what happened or who was at fault, or classify the crime. Security will determine the proper classification of the crime.
• You aren’t supposed to find the perpetrator.
• Use the report form, but DON’T identify the victim UNLESS he/she gives you permission.

Encourage the person to report to Security (but don’t insist). The decision isn’t yours, the person talking to you may not want to talk to campus security– and doesn’t have to.

If the person does NOT want to make a  report to the police, you MUST still report the criminal incident for statistical purposes since you have been identified as a campus security authority.
