  12. Campus Security Authorities • Even though as a counselor you do not have to report, you can tell the person how she/he can report the crime. • Oxy does not have a process to anonymously report crime except for sex crimes (sexual misconduct). • Always explain reporting options and resources available to the person.

  13. Reporting • I’m not a counselor…what must I do? • Promptly make report to Dir. of Campus Safety Clery Act crimes that can reasonably be concluded are made in good faith. • Tell the person you must report the incident as a statistic but will not identify anyone unless consent is given. • When in doubt, report.

  14. Reporting • Tell the person you must report the incident as an anonymous statistic but will not identify anyone unless the victim consents to being identified. • Let the person know about options for reporting to the Campus Safety and LAPD. • Remember: The decision to identify someone isn’t yours to make. A person who talks to you doesn’t have to talk to Campus Safety or LAPD.

Information • Get the information the person wants to tell you, Campus Safety will decide what type of crime has occurred • You do not have to prove what happened or who was at fault. • You are not supposed to find the perpetrator • Do not identify the victim unless the victim consents to being identified.

  20. Information • “Description of the incident or crime” • Detailed information will help Campus Safety or LAPD correctly categorize the crime. • Get as accurate and complete a description of what happened as possible. If you are not sure if a crime should be reported, report it and let the Director of Campus Safety decide.

  21. Information • If the person reporting the crime is in imminent danger or harm, call Campus Safety immediately at 323-259-2511.
