 Reporting Crime On-Line

Unless citizens report crimes promptly, and participate in and support crime prevention efforts, the criminal justice system operates under a severe handicap.  If crimes are never reported, little can be done to help other members of the community from also being victims.  The University community can be much safer with your assistance. You can assist by reporting unusual activity to the police immediately.  The likelihood of arresting an offender drops with each minute of delay in reporting.

DO NOT USE THE SILENT WITNESS PROGRAM TO REPORT AN EMERGENCY OR A CRIME IN PROGRESS! Call (814) 863-1111 or 911.
