With certain specified exceptions discussed below, employees of the University of Georgia are expected to report criminal incidents, emergencies, and suspicious activities to the University of Georgia Police Department (“UGA Police”) promptly and with as much detail as possible.
For Clery Act reporting purposes, UGA has named certain officials as Campus Security Authorities (“CSAs”). CSAs are individuals who, because of their responsibilities at UGA, have an obligation to share information with the University about alleged Clery crimes that are either reported to them and/or personally witnessed by them. At UGA some common examples of CSAs include, but are not limited to, the University of Georgia Police Department, Resident Assistants and Residence Life personnel, Deans of Students personnel, coaches, and Title IX personnel. Any crimes reported to CSAs, along with those offenses reported to UGA Police, will be included in UGA’s annual crime statistics.
