If you see a violent crime in progress, believe a crime may be in progress, or are the victim of a crime:

  • Call 911
  • Contact Campus Security immediately at 2222.
  • Report suspicious persons or activities. All calls are kept confidential.
  • Do not attempt to apprehend or interfere with a criminal except in cases of self-protection.
  • If safe to do so, take time to mentally record a description of the suspect.
