FAQ: Can I make a Confidential Report?

If you see crime occurring on campus and you would like to report it, please fill out the Anonymous Report Form. Information submitted via this form is only reviewed by the Public Safety Office during regular business hours. If you have information which requires an urgent response, please call ext. 5-4404 on campus or in an emergency 9-911.


If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the University System or the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider making a confidential report. With your permission, the Public Safety Office or a University Official can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing your identity.

The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others. With such information, the University can keep accurate records of the number of incidents involving students, determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or assailant, and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crimes statistics for the institution.
