Someone is Here to Listen

The intent of including non-law enforcement personnel in the role of a CSA is to acknowledge that some campus community members — students, in particular — may be hesitant about reporting a crime to the UNODPS, but may be more inclined to confide with other campus-affiliated individuals. 

CSAs can provide you with information regarding resources and help you understand your options regarding the reporting of a crime. 

The Clery Act

The Clery Act establishes CSAs comprised of faculty and staff members who are unaffiliated with the UNO Department of Public Safety (UNODPS), with significant responsibilities for student and campus activities.

Students who have experienced or witnessed a crime and wish to talk to someone can contact a CSA.

CSA Role

CSAs serve an important role on campus. They are here to assist students and staff. If someone reports a crime to you, you become a first responder. Victims who have placed their trust in you should be provided with information regarding resources and understand their options regarding reporting a crime.

CSAs are responsible with assisting people with their reporting options. UNODPS is available to assist CSAs, staff, students, and visitors regarding any safety-related matter.

CSAs Have a Responsibility to Report Statistical Data
CSAs have federally mandated responsibilities to report crimes that they witness or that they have been confided in with.

CSAs can use to report Clery incidents.
