Webinar: "Training Your Clery Act Campus Security Authorities - A Shared Responsibility of Public Safety and Student Affairs"

This presentation from Security On Campus, Inc. (SOC), will provide an overview of the roles and responsibilities of Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) under the Jeanne Clery Act. CSAs are those campus officials required by the Clery Act to report crime information and include not only campus public safety but also student affairs, housing, and even athletics officials. It is important that all institutions of higher education identify and train their CSAs. Presenters S. Daniel Carter and Alison Kiss will discuss the elements of the Jeanne Clery Act regarding CSAs and innovative ways to develop partnerships and build bridges between student affairs and public safety/campus police to train CSAs. This presentation is geared toward developing a collaborative approach to compliance. Ideal audiences include campus security/police/public safety, student conduct, student affairs, athletics, student activities, student life, and residence life.
