Campus Safety Authority

The function of a campus safety authority is to report to the official or office designated by the institution to collect crime report information, such as the Campus Safety Department (and possibly Port Arthur Police Department), those allegations of Clery Act crimes that he or she receives. CSAs are responsible for reporting allegations of Clery Act crimes that are reported to them in their capacity as a CSA. This means that CSAs are not responsible for investigating or reporting incidents that they overhear students talking about in a hallway conversation; that a classmate or student mentions during an in-class discussion; that a victim mentions during a speech, workshop, or any other form of group presentation; or that the CSA otherwise learns about in an indirect manner.

Lamar State College Port Arthur defines Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) as individuals designated by LSCPA that have responsibility for campus safety and security or have significant responsibility for student and campus activities. These individuals receive special training. CSAs include Campus Safety Officers; individuals who are responsible for monitoring buildings or grounds, or with similar security responsibilities who are not part of the Campus Safety Office; individuals or organizations specifically identified to receive reports of criminal offenses; and LSCPA officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including but not limited to:
