Campus Security Authorities (CSA)

A campus security authority (CSA) is:

  • A campus police department or a campus security department of an institution.
  • Any individual or individuals who have responsibility for campus security but who do not constitute a campus police department or a campus security department (e.g., an individual who is responsible for monitoring the entrance into institutional property).
  • Any individual or organization specified in an institution’s statement of campus security policy as an individual or organization to which students and employees should report criminal offenses.
  • An official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline and campus judicial proceedings. An official is defined as any person who has the authority and the duty to take action or respond to particular issues on behalf of the institution.

All Campus Security Authorities at MU will be notified of this designation in writing.  Along with this notification, CSAs will be provided training to understand their reporting obligations under the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act and University policy. If you are a CSA, you may access this training through Percipio. Once you log in to Percipio, you should see the “2024 Campus Security Authority Training” on the front page, under your “assignments”.

Questions can be directed to the Clery Compliance Coordinator.
