Who is a CSA?

California State University system encourages all members of the campus communities to contact UPD when they have been the victim of or have witnessed criminal actions. The Clery Act requires certain individuals that are designated as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) to promptly report allegations of Clery qualifying crimes that occur within a campus' Clery Geography reported to them for inclusion in the Annual Security Report.

While not defined in statute, regulations provide that CSAs include:

• campus police or security department personnel;
• individuals or organizations identified in institutional security policies;
• individuals with security-related responsibilities;
• an official “who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities.”

We will notify those on our campus who are designated as CSAs, as a result of their job duties and functions. Some examples include:

• Resident Assistants in Housing & Residence Life
• University Police
• Title IX Coordinator

What does a CSA do?

For statistical purposes, all CSAs are required to promptly report to the Clery Director or designee crimes, including hate crimes, which are reported to them in their capacity as CSAs, to help inform whether a timely warning or emergency notification to the campus community is warranted. CSAs report to the Clery Director or designee include, if known:

• The crime that was reported and the information provided
• The exact location where the crime occurred
• The date and time the crime occurred
• Any witness and perpetrator information
• Victim information, unless the victim requests confidentiality

In the event the survivor does request confidentiality, enough information must be obtained and provided by the CSA about the criminal incident to prevent over-reporting or "double-counting" of the incident.

CSAs are not responsible for determining authoritatively whether a crime took place, only to report the information promptly to the Clery Director of the CSA receives an allegation of crimes that are reported to them in their capacity as a CSA.

CSAs should make the survivor or third party that they are in contact with, aware that UPD and Title IX make both confidential and non-confidential resources available that may be helpful to survivors or witnesses of a crime, and encourage them to utilize the resources available.

CSA Resources

A. If the reported incident constitutes a threat to the safety of the ������ community, the CSA shall immediately telephone the University Police Department at (562) 985-4101. If the reporting party is a victim of a sex offense, the victim should be encouraged to report the crime directly to the University Police Department. The CSA must file a Clery Report.

B. “Good faith” confidential, second hand or anonymous reports must be accepted and the CSA must file a Clery Report.
 

C. The potential for duplication of reported crimes is not to be a factor in determining whether or not a report is received.

D. This reporting form does not replace or change any existing reporting requirements or procedures established for disciplinary referrals for student
or employee misconduct.
 

E. Hate crimes present a special reporting challenge, because Clery also requires the recording of a “category of bias” that is associated with the reported hate crime incident.

CSU Long Beach prepares this report in compliance with California State Education Code, Chapter 16, of the Donahue Higher Education Act, Section 67380. The 2024 Campus Safety Plan is located on UPD's website.

This item provides the annual report on hate violence incidents reported on California State University campuses pursuant to . The statue requires the California State University to report annually the number of arrests for, and reported incidents of, hate violence. Each campus must make the annual report available to the public and published on the campus website. To access current and past reports, select the link below and scroll down until you see "Hate Crime Reports". Select the year you wish to view.

Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications are designed to alert our campus community (students, employees, and often times guests) to potential threats or other concerning situations that are occurring on campus. The main focuses are safety and transparency. Within these notifications, the University will often include information so that individuals can take safety precautions for themselves.

We recognize that the content of these messages can often times increase someone's stress or anxiety, or potentially remind them of past situations they may have experienced or witnessed. The below identified resources are available should a member of our campus community need them:

• : (562) 985-2668
• CARES (for students): (562) 985-4771
• Counseling and Psychological Services (for students): (562) 985-4001
• YWCA-GLA (24-Hour Crisis Hotline): (877) 943-5778 / (877) Y-HELP-US
• Office of Equity & Compliance: (562) 985-8256

Timely Warnings

Timely Warnings are issued when it is determined that a serious or ongoing threat to the campus community exists, following a report of a Clery Act crime that occurred on Clery Act geography. When University Police is notified of such a crime, the Chief of Police will confer with the Clery Director to determine whether the incident meets all of the following factors:

1. It is a Clery reportable crime
2. It occurred on Clery geography
3. The situation poses a serious or ongoing threat to the community

Each reported incident is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If a Timely Warning Crime Bulletin is necessary, it will be issued in a manner likely to reach the campus community, such as mass texts through a campus alert, e-mail distribution, and/or posting on the UPD campus website.

Emergency Notifications

Emergency Notifications are issued upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus. Some examples of situations that would be considered for Emergency Notifications include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Severe weather event
2. Environmental emergency (e.g. chemical spill, fire, earthquake)
3. Health pandemic (e.g. measles outbreak, swine flu outbreak)

Once University Police has received such a report, the Chief of Police will confer with the appropriate public official (e.g. fire chief, health department) and any campus officials responsible for managing the on-campus emergency to confirm the following:

1) A legitimate emergency or dangerous situation exists in on-campus geography

AND

2)The emergency or dangerous situation poses an immediate or imminent threat to members of the campus community

If both factors are met, the Chief of Police will confer with the Clery Director to prepare the content of the notification. Once the notification is prepared, the Chief of Police and/or the Clery Director (or in their absence, the management designee(s)) will, without delay and taking into account the safety of the community, transmit the emergency notification unless doing so would delay the ability to mitigate and/or contain the emergency, including the ability to provide immediate, life saving measures. If an emergency notification is issued, a timely warning shall not be issued for the same incident.
