Crime Report Information
Guidelines regarding how and when to report a crime are provided at new student orientations. This information is also at new staff and faculty orientations.

Colorado Revised Statutes, 18-8-115, "Duty to Report a Crime" requires all persons who believe a crime has been committed to report promptly the suspected crime to law enforcement authorities.
The UCCS Police Department is located in the Public Safety building, attached to the parking garage. The number to contact University Police is 255-3111, or x3111 from a campus phone. The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs encourages anyone who is the victim or witness to any crime to report promptly the incident to campus police to provide accurate and complete statistical reports and to aid in providing timely warning notices to the community, when appropriate. Faculty, staff, and students (except those who have counseling responsibilities) should forward any report of a crime on campus to the campus police for further investigation. Because police reports are public records under state law, the UCCS Police Department cannot hold reports of crime in confidence. Confidential reports can generally be made to the University Counseling Center, located in Main Hall 324, (x3265). University police want the campus community to report any suspicious activities such as persons seen loitering around vehicles, buildings, or residential halls. Crimes and suspicious activities that occur off campus can be reported to the Colorado Springs Police at 444-7000. Timely reports allow for timely response and eventually to a safer campus. DO YOUR PART, REPORT!

To report a crime contact University Police at 255-3111, x3111(from a campus phone), dial 9-1-1 (life threatening emergencies), or use the emergency call boxes located in parking lots and some buildings.

Incidents reported to University Police that fall into one of the required reporting classifications will be disclosed as a statistic in this annual publication. This institution does not rely on anonymous reporting for statistical information. If the information is not sufficient for authorities to investigate, then the report will not be included in the statistical information.

The University Police maintains a crime log of reported criminal activity occurring on campus and within jurisdictional boundaries. The crime log may be accessed via the internet at: http://www.uccs.edu/~pusafety/police/blotter/.

Timely advisories are made to the community when known crime risks might endanger students, employees or visitors on campus or areas close to our campus community. These reports are made using one or a combination of the following methods:
