Incident Reporting

The University of Missouri-St. Louis Police Department has primary jurisdiction and responsibility to provide police service and investigate crimes on all property owned or controlled by the University.

All requests for police service should be made to the University of Missouri-St. Louis Police Department located on campus in the Southwestern Bell Telecommunity Center building adjacent to the Metro Link North station. It is important that all crimes occurring on campus are immediately reported to the Police Department to ensure that prompt and appropriate action can be taken.

The University endorses a reporting policy that strongly encourages victims to report all crimes that occur within the jurisdiction of the University of Missouri-St. Louis Police Department at once, regardless of their nature. If you do not feel comfortable talking to a police officer, crimes may be confidentially reported to any academic counselor, the staff of the Women’s Center or the staff of Multi-Cultural Relations. Crimes reported to these persons cannot be investigated without the opportunity to interview the victim. However, it is important that the police department be made aware of all criminal activity for reporting purposes and for the safety of others on campus. We strongly urge that the victim of any crime contact the police department. You may also make voluntary confidential reports of criminal activity to professional counselors at Psychological Services or the Student Health Center. You will not be identified by name unless you agree; again, it is essential that the police department be made aware of all criminal activity on campus. Crimes occurring off campus should be reported immediately to the law enforcement agency having proper jurisdiction. If you are the victim of a crime off campus and unsure of the proper jurisdiction, contact the University of Missouri-St. Louis Police Department and we will assist you in contacting the proper agency.

EMERGENCIES requiring police, fire or medical aid can be reported in person or by dialing 911 from any telephone located on University property or using one of the BLUE emergency telephones located on most parking lots. For information or non-emergency police service dial 5155 on the red telephones located throughout the buildings.

Members of the University community are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the University of Missouri-St. Louis Police Department immediately. The prompt reporting of suspicious persons or activity can often avert crimes. If someone's actions are out of character and you become suspicious, call the Police Department. Let a Police Officer assess the situation and, if appropriate, take action. Do not hesitate to call! We also invite the reporting of physical hazards (lights out, odor of gas, etc.) in order that they may be corrected to avoid personal injury.
