Campus Security Authority (CSA) Reporting Form

A Campus Security Authority (CSA) is someone who has been recognized by the Clery Act as a federally mandated reporter of any Clery Act crimes occurring on campus and campus owned or controlled property. The CSA Reporting form is intended to provide CSA’s with a method of reporting Clery crimes to University Security for inclusion in the University’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. However, anyone who is a victim of, or witness to, a crime may also utilize this form to report the crime to appropriate campus authorities.

The CSA Report is NOT a method of notifying University Security or Police of an emergency situation. If this is an emergency, call University Security at 507-389-2111 or Police 9-1-1.

 

Public Safety personnel evaluate each CSA Report to determine if the incident reported requires the publication of a Timely Warning Notice or Emergency Notification to the campus community. The intent of a Timely Warning Notice or Emergency Notification is to enable members of the campus community to protect themselves and aid in the prevention of similar crimes. It is critical that pertinent information be provided as soon as it is available.

CSA’s are encouraged, but not required, to complete this form with the reporting party present. This is beneficial for a number of reasons. First, it helps to ensure that the appropriate information is collected and second, it allows the reporting party to see what information will be submitted.

Please provide as much information as possible on the CSA reporting form. Some information may not be required, but the inclusion of such information, if known, may assist the University in providing resources, services, and accurate annual statistics.
