How to File a Clery Report at UC San Diego

• If there is an active crime, emergency or a serious or continuing threat, call 9-1-1.
• Report a Clery crime as soon as possible to the UC San Diego Police Department. Remember, a report is required if a Campus Security Authority witnessed the crime or it was reported to them.
• Complete a Campus Security Authority Crime Report Form.
  • Ask the victim/survivor for their permission before providing personally identifiable information on the Clery report.
  • If the incident involves dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or a hate crime/bias incident, you must also report the incident to the Office for the Prevention of Harassment & Discrimination if required by Title IX/UC Policy.
  • As a CSA, never try to investigate or prove a crime actually occurred.
