Description:

Our Virtual Clery Act Training Seminar (VCATS) is a hybrid course delivering live, online instruction in a virtual format integrating interactive elements, such as real-time discussions and case studies, with engaging online content. Taking place over three live sessions, VCATS delivers our comprehensive training curriculum without the need for travel. Participants will:

• have multiple opportunities to address campus-specific questions,
• apply new concepts through pre-work (approximately three hours of pre-work, can be completed fully prior to the training or prior to each day’s live session during the training week), virtual break-out sessions, large group discussion, and team activities,
• utilize a Workbook that incorporates a plan to implement when back on campus,
• come away with concrete tools, strategies, and ideas to put into practice right away or over time, and
• network and connect with other professionals in the field as well as Clery Center instructors one-on-one during virtual office hours.

Bridge the gap between the requirements of the Clery Act and your campus's distinct needs with a specialized curriculum that addresses both the letter and spirit of the law. Our Clery Act Training Seminars equip participants with the tools and strategies necessary to create an actionable Clery compliance plan. Subjects covered in CATS trainings include:

• Identifying and training campus security authorities (CSAs)
• Identifying Clery geography
• Counting & classifying Clery Act crimes
• Composing an institution’s annual security report (ASR)
• Designing & implementing prevention and response efforts for dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
• Conducting campus disciplinary procedures for student or employee cases of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
• Evaluating the need for and issuing timely warnings or emergency notifications
• Developing, revising, or implementing policy and procedures to address any of the above

While anyone with an interest or desire in learning more about the totality of the Clery Act is welcome at all Clery Center trainings, our CATS curriculum is specifically designed for those with responsibility for oversight of Clery Act compliance and/or implementing its requirements.

CATS is available in three modalities: In-person, Virtual, and Online. Learn more at clerycenter.org/cats.
