Timely reports are important.
If you are the victim of a crime or if you see a crime or something that makes you suspicious, dial 123 from any campus phone, or use one of the more than 150 white emergency phones throughout the neighborhood. Off campus, dial 702-8181 for the University Police or 911 to reach the Chicago Police. Go to the Hospital Emergency Room if you're hurt or have been the victim of a sex offense. Tell them you're a student. When you report to the University that you are a crime victim, a number of people are notified so that they can coordinate efforts to help you.
