Campus Security Authorities (CSAs)

Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are individuals or offices at an educational institution responsible for gathering, documenting, and reporting certain safety-related incidents or threats. They include campus police, security officers, and designated staff like advisors or deans who have been given specific responsibilities. CSAs are crucial for ensuring campus safety and must report reports of crimes or safety concerns to authorities, aligning with legal requirements such as the Clery Act. Their role helps create a safer campus environment by ensuring incidents are formally documented and appropriate action is taken.
