Reporting Procedures
It is important that all crimes, emergencies, and/or suspicious, disturbing, or threatening behaviors occurring on campus be immediately reported to the Police Department to ensure that appropriate action can be taken. Emergencies requiring police, fire, or medical aid can be reported in person or by dialing 911 from any campus phone, cell phone, or landline phone. Emergencies can also be reported by using one of the "Blue Light" emergency phones or elevator phones located throughout the campus. If there is a fire and no telephone is available, activate one of the fire alarm manual pull stations located throughout campus buildings.
Individuals may also report in person at the UC Santa Cruz Police Department located at the base of the campus near the main entrance. Activities or incidents occurring outside of the UC Santa Cruz jurisdiction should be reported immediately to the agency having jurisdiction where the property is located. If an individual is uncertain which agency should take the report, UC Santa Cruz Police can help determine which one is appropriate and refer the individual to that agency.
