Primary responsibility is...Listen, Inform, and Report! Listen to the victim about the alleged allegations which are being made in good faith Inform and encourage the person reporting the crime to Contact NOVA PD and file a police report. A person who talks to you may not want to talk to police and they do not have to. YOU are the liaison and are required to report the crime via the Clery form Let them know they can file an official police report at anytime Report and disclose the information to NOVA PD As soon as possible To determine if a Timely Warning is necessary To assist in any follow-up investigations or preventative measures CSA Roles and Responsibilities at NOVA Closed Captioning So what do CSAs have to do? Quite simply, CSAs must report alleged crimes made to them in good faith to the College Police. CSAs are not required to determine the actual validity of the reported crime; that is the responsibility of the police. It is usually in the best interest for the victim to report the incident to the police because other assistance with physical and mental well being can be provided. However a person who talks to you may not want to talk to the police, and this is okay. Encourage the victim to report the crime officially for the safety of others. If the victim chooses not to involve the police let the victim know that every effort is taken to protect the confidentiality of the victims identity. But in any event as a CSA you must still report the crime by filling out a form which can be done anonymously. Campus Security Authority

How to Report as a CSA Fill out NOVAs Crime Statistics Report Form (105-174) Just get the facts You do not have to prove what happened or who was at fault You are not supposed to find the accused DONT identify the victim if they dont want to be identified Contact NOVA PD promptly so we may determine if a timely warning must be issued by submitting the completed form Forward your completed 105-174 to NOVA PD or Chief Dusseau Closed Captioning CSAs are not normally trained investigators. Therefore, just get the facts related to the crime and report the facts to NOVA police via form 105- 174. If in doubt as to whether a crime is reportable under the Clery Act, call 703-764-5000 and ask to speak to an officer or the Clery Coordinator for guidance. NOVAs reporting document is easy to fill out. Be sure to writing down the Who, What, When, Where, and How in the comments section and being specific as possible the College Police Department can appropriate classify the crime as related to the articulated facts surrounding the situation. Youll be able to do it in less than 5 minutes! Once your done completing the form please email it immediately to the Chief of Police at ddusseau@nvcc.edu or drop it off at the local college police station or security station at your campus. This action of submitting it immediately helps with being able to determine if a timely warning is warranted in keeping others from being victimized. As a reminder the report may be made anonymously by either the CSA and or the victim through the CSA. Campus Security Authority

Filling out the Clery Report Form Campus Security Authority Closed Captioning Please review the video to learn about the NOVA Clery report form.

Slide 7

What Crimes Do CSAs Have to Report? Criminal Crimes All Clery crimes Such as murder, aggravated assault Hate Crimes Based upon bias Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking Drug/Weapons/Alcohol Arrest Drug/Weapons/Alcohol Referrals The crimes you learned about in the crimes module that occurred within the Clery geography you learned about Closed Captioning So, what is a reportable crime under the Clery Act? Most major violent crimes are referred to as Clery-reportable crimes as well as hate crimes and liquor, drugs and weapons arrests and disciplinary referrals. Some examples of Clery Act Crimes include: Criminal homicide Both forcible and non-forcible sex offenses Aggravated Assault and Robbery. Under the Clery Act, hate crimes are classified as a Clery Act Crime. A victim intentionally selected because of the perpetrator's bias against: Race Gender Religion Sexual orientation Ethnicity/ National Origin Disability Is Clery reportable. If bias motivates a crime, then simple assault, vandalism/destruction of property, larcenies and intimidation are also Clery-reportable. Campus Security Authority

Slide 8

Clery Reporting Exemptions Licensed mental health & pastoral counselors are exempt from reporting NOVA does NOT have anyone at the College who fulfills this definition Closed Captioning The Clery Act specifically exempts licensed mental health and pastoral counselors from CSA reporting requirements only if they learn of a crime working within the scope of their license or religious assignments. Once again, let me remind you that any College employee, upon becoming aware of a Clery-reportable crime, is obligated to provide this information to the College Police. Campus Security Authority

Differences Between CSAs and Title IX Responsible Employees Title IX Responsible Employee Not all employees are responsible employees, they are designated by Title IX coordinator May not be able to maintain confidentiality of identifying information depending upon IX crime/incident May be required to report incidents which go beyond Clery geography and crimes Clery CSAs All employees at NOVA are CSAs and must report any Clery reportable crimes within NOVAs Clery Geography to the College Police using form 105-174. This form can be filled out and submitted without identifying information Campus Security Authority Closed Captioning Clery CSA at NOVA must report Clery crimes which have occurred on Clery geography using the Clery form 105-174 and the form and be completed without identifying personal information.
