What training requirement exists under the Clery Act for certain employees?

Under the Clery Act, employees designated as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are specifically required to undergo training about their responsibilities and reporting obligations related to campus safety and crime. This training is crucial because CSAs are responsible for reporting certain types of crime to the institution, which in turn ensures that the institution can fulfill its obligations under the Clery Act, including issuing timely warnings and publishing the annual security report.

The emphasis on training for CSAs reflects the importance of their role in promoting campus safety. Properly trained CSAs are better equipped to identify and report incidents accurately, contributing to a safer campus environment. The Clery Act does not mandate that all employees undergo intensive training every year, nor does it classify training as optional based on employee roles. Furthermore, the Act does impose specific training requirements, thus dismissing the idea that no training is required. Recognizing the importance of informed reporting is central to the overarching goals of the Clery Act in safeguarding campus communities.
