Those designated as CSAs will receive an email of this designation and are required to complete a mandatory online, with an optional in-person, training session.<\/p>\n<p>Once you receive the email for training, via Moodle, you have a reporting requirement because the University believes that your responsibility for students, campus activities, and\/or campus security will make you an individual that members of the University community will see as an authority figure and someone to whom they can seek help. A CSA is not expected to investigate or determine whether a criminal incident actually took place. A CSA\u2019s responsibility is a duty to report.<\/p>\n<h2>Role of a CSA<\/h2>\n<p>Any person identified as a CSA must report to the Department of Public Safety a crime or an incident that might be a crime that he\/she becomes aware of. The reportable Clery Act Crimes are \u201cgood faith\u201d reports (reasonable basis to believe it is not hearsay\/ rumor) reported by witness, 3rd party, victim, offender. In addition, a CSA is not responsible for determining if a crime took place but must report the incident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you are unsure if a crime or incident should be reported,<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moodle.adelphi.edu\/course\/view.php?id=102458#section-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report it<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Steps to follow when a crime is reported to a CSA<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>When a crime\/incident is reported, the CSA should always respond to emergencies by dialing \u201c5\u201d from any campus phone for Public Safety or calling 911.\n<ul>\n<li>If a CSA is notified of a crime in progress or an ongoing threat to the Adelphi community, they will contact the Department of Public Safety for assistance immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>If it is not an emergency, the CSA should ask the individual reporting the crime if they would like to report the incident to the ÃÛÑ¿TV Department of Public Safety. If they do, the CSA should coordinate reporting and contact the Department of Public Safety (24\/7).<\/li>\n<li>The CSA should explain that they are a federally mandated crime reporter and are required to submit a crime report for statistical purposes and that the crime report can be submitted without identifying the reporting party and\/or victim if the reporting party would like to remain anonymous.\n<ul>\n<li>A CSA should also provide the victim\/3rd party with the<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adelphi.edu\/safety-transportation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/06\/Clery-Act-Written-Notification.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Written Notification<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>information.
