How to Report a Crime or Other Emergency

Dial 2222 from any campus phone or simply push the RED button on any blue light emergency phone to report a crime in progress and/or other emergency.

To report any crime or any emergency, dial 299-2222 from outside lines for immediate attention and response.

Respond directly to the Office of the Department of Public Safety located in the Facilities Services building on the northeast side of campus (in the second parking lot on the left off Gold Coast Road, south of the East Gate).

When reporting a crime or incident please provide as much information as possible, to include:

  • Details of what happened
  • Specific location
  • Identity and/or description of person(s) involved
  • Date and time of incident
  • Be as specific as possible when giving any information to the Department of Public Safety, i.e. description of person(s), vehicle(s), etc.

Public Safety patrol vehicles and foot patrols are radio dispatched to handle emergencies, safety, security, and enforcement duties anywhere on campus. In addition, there are numerous well-marked emergency telephones located throughout the campus to facilitate the reporting of crimes, fires and other emergency situations.

Policies Regarding Reporting a Crime Confidentially

Persons wanting to report a crime or incident can do so confidentially by contacting the Department of Public Safety at Ext. 2214. The reporting person's name will be kept confidential, but the incident may be included in the annual crime statistic report without divulging the person's name or any other information that would infringe on his/her confidentiality.
