   • 发布紧急通知会向校园社区发出警报，并告知“校园中发生了对学生或员工的健康或安全构成直接威胁的重大紧急或危险情况”。
   • Issuing a Timely Warning, also known as a Safety Alert, alerts the campus community of Clery Crimes that pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus and surrounding community. Timely warnings will be disseminated throughout the community as soon as pertinent information is available and will provide information that will allow the community to take precautions to protect themselves and prevent similar crimes from occurring.
5. Provide educational programs and campaigns
   • 公共安全部门和其他相关部门(如第九条、酒精和毒品、学生行为等)将共同努力，在大学主校区和中心创建、建立和开展项目，教育校园/中心和周围社区，以促进对大学所在地所有犯罪和安全相关问题的普遍意识。

11. Inform current and prospective student and employees about the availability of the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

Responsibilities
All University Faculty, Staff, Administration, Students, and Visitors on University Facilities or Property

• Promptly report any activity that is perceived as criminal, potentially dangerous, or suspicious to a Campus Security Authority (CSA) or Public Safety

Campus Security Authorities

• 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 “good faith” 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.
• If you are unsure if a crime or incident should be reported, report it!
• Steps to follow when a crime is reported to a CSA
  • When a crime/incident is reported, the CSA should always respond to emergencies by dialing “5” from any campus phone for Public Safety or calling 911.
    • 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.
  • 如果不是紧急情况，CSA应询问报告犯罪的个人是否愿意向阿德尔菲大学公共安全系报告事件。卡塔尔世界杯时间表如果他们这样做了，CSA应该协调报告，并联系公共安全部(24/7)。
  • 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.
    • CSA还应向受害者/第三方提供书面通知信息。这可以在受害者的权利、选项和资源页面找到。
  • If the CSA has firsthand knowledge/confirmation that the reporting party already filed a report with the Department of Public Safety, then the CSA is not obligated to complete and submit a CSA Reporting Form.
    • If the reporting party says they will file a report with Department of Public Safety, but the CSA has no first-hand knowledge/confirmation that a police report was filed, then the CSA must complete and submit a CSA Reporting Form.
  • Please use the CSA Reporting Form to communicate reports promptly to the Department of Public Safety. It is very important that CSAs report crime/incident on a timely basis to the Department of Public Safety as a reported crime/incident may warrant a University issued Safety Alert to the University Community.

Student Conduct & Community Standards/Student Affairs

• Work with students to promote adherence to the Code of Conduct
• Work with the Department of Public Safety on at least an annual basis. The Associate Director of Administration & Investigations and the Office of Student Conduct will review reports of referral for Clery Crimes and disciplinary action related to Drug, Liquor and Weapons offenses. The Associate Director of Administration & Investigations, or appropriate designee, is responsible for reviewing the report information provided by Student Conduct, and work cooperatively with the Office of Student Conduct to ensure that incidents are not double-counted.

Title IX Coordinator and Human Resources

• Work with students and employees to promote adherence to the Code of Conduct and Anti-Discrimination & Harassment Policy.
• 至少每年，行政与调查副主任和Title IX协调员将审查VAWA针对牧师犯罪的犯罪报告。行政与调查副主任，或适当的指定人员，负责审查第九条协调员提供的报告信息，并与第九条办公室合作，以确保事件不重复计算。

Exemptions

The following individuals, when acting within the scope of the official responsibilities are NOT Campus Security Authorities, and as such, are exempt from the mandates of this policy:

• Pastoral Counseling: Interfaith Center (Pastoral Counselors)
• Student Counseling Center (Professional Counselors)

Campus Security Authority (CSA): The job of safety on campus does not rest solely in the hands of the Adelphi University Department of Public Safety. It is a collaborative effort across campus. According to a federal law known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, Adelphi University is required to disclose “statistics concerning the occurrence of certain criminal offenses reported to public safety, local law enforcement agencies, and/or any official of the institution who is defined as a “Campus Security Authority.” The purpose of including non-security department employees as CSA’s is that many individuals receive reports of a crime or offense, not just Public Safety. A Campus Security Authority (CSA) is identified based on any of the following categories:

• The position is in the Department of Public Safety and Transportation;
• A position that is responsible for campus security, but is not the Department of Public Safety, such as an individual who is responsible for monitoring entrance into University property;
• A position that has been identified by the University as an individual or organization to which student and employees should report criminal offenses to; and/or
• The position involves significant responsibility for student and campus activities and/or responsibility for campus security.

Clery Crimes: Crimes required by the Clery Act to be reported annually to the University community, including: criminal homicide (murder and negligent/non-negligent manslaughter); sex offenses (rape, fondling, statutory rape, and incest); robbery; aggravated assault; burglary; motor vehicle theft; arson; hate crimes (including larceny-theft, simple assault, intimidation, or destruction/damage/vandalism of property that are motivated by bias); dating violence; domestic violence; stalking; and arrests and referrals for disciplinary action for any of the following: (a) liquor law violations, (b) drug law violations, and (c) carrying and possessing illegal weapons. For full definitions of Clery Crimes, please visitClery Act Reportable Crimes and Locations.

• On-Campus: Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonable contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of, or in a manner related to, the institution’s educational purposes, including residence halls; and any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area described above, that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person, is frequently used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or other retail vendor).
• Public Property: All public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities, that is within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.
• Non-Campus Property: Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution.

Daily Crime Log: The daily crime log, at each location (Garden City, Manhattan, Hauppauge, and Hudson Valley), records all crimes reported to the University by the category of crime, incident number, date of crime, time of occurrence, general location, and disposition if known. A crime log entry or change in the disposition is recorded within two business days of the reporting of the crime. The crime log is accessible for public inspection during normal business hours for the most recent 60-day period.

Daily Fire Log: The Daily Fire log records, at the Garden City Campus, the incident number, date of fire, time of occurrence, general location of the fire in a residence hall, and cause if known. The fire log is accessible for public view for the most recent 60-day period during normal business hours.

Emergency Notification: An announcement to inform the campus community about a “significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on the campus.” An emergency response expands upon the definition of “timely warning” (see below), as it includes both Clery Act crimes and other types of emergencies (examples: a fire, infectious disease outbreak, terrorist attack, natural disaster, weather emergency).

Hate Crime: Criminal offenses that manifest evidence that the victim was intentionally selected because of the perpetrator’s bias against the victim, specifically because of the following categories: race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, and disability. For Clery purposes, hate crimes include any of the following offenses that are motivated by bias: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny-theft, simple assault, intimidation, and destruction/damage/vandalism of property.

Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act): Also known as the Clery Act, this federal law requires colleges and universities that receive Title IV funding to disclose information about Clery Crimes occurring on Clery Geography and safety-related policies.

Missing Student Notification: The University has provided a list of titles of persons and offices to which students, employees, or others, can contact if they have reason to believe a student who lives in on-campus student housing has been missing for 24 hours. The intent of this notification process is to direct others who believe a Penn State student is missing to immediately notify specific staff in the University administration, Public Safety, and local law enforcement.

Pastoral Counselors: A person who is associated with a religious order or denomination, recognized by that religious order or denomination as someone who provides confidential counseling, and is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor. Pastoral Counselors, when acting within the scope of the official responsibilities are not Campus Security Authorities.

Professional Counselors: A person whose official responsibilities include providing mental health counseling to members of the institution’s community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification.

“Reasonably Contiguous” (as pertaining to a college campus):机构拥有或控制的建筑物或财产，位于被认为是校园不可分割的一部分的区域(校园边界1英里内)，并受与主校园相同的安全政策保护。

Timely Warning: An announcement made to alert the campus community about Clery Crimes and other serious incidents in the event that a reported crime may pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus and surrounding community.

VAWA Offenses: Crimes required by the Clery Act to be reported annually to the University community, including: sex offenses (rape, fondling, statutory rape, and incest), dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking.

Submitting Crime Statistics to the U.S. Department of Education (D.O.E.)

The University is not required to send the ASFSR to the D.O.E.; however, the University is required to submit the crime statistics from the ASFSR. During late summer, D.O.E. conducts the annual Campus Safety and Security Survey. This Web-based survey is used to collect the statistical data from the ASFSR. The data is then posted on the D.O.E. public website for use by higher education consumers. The site is located athttps://surveys.ope.ed.gov/campussafety/. Each year a few weeks prior to the collection, DOE sends a letter and a registration certificate to the President of Adelphi University. The certificate contains the information necessary to access the survey and enter data. The letter and registration certificate will be routed to the Associate Director of Administration & Investigation, in the Department of Public Safety, for appropriate handling. The Associate Director of Public Safety, or designee, enters the data on the D.O.E. site. The Associate Director of Public Safety reviews the entries and locks the submissions on the D.O.E. website.
