Report a Crime Confidentially

If you see or hear of something happening that you believe should be brought to the attention of the University Police, you can report it here by filling out the form below.

Please provide as much detail as you can about the date, time, location, descriptions or names of involved persons, and details of the incident. A license plate and car description would be very useful if vehicles are involved. It would also be helpful if you would be willing to talk to one of our officers -- if you are willing to help in this way, fill out your contact information on the form.

Otherwise, there is no way to trace who sent the information. If you would rather talk with someone on the phone, call (617) 287-7780. Thank you for your assistance in keeping our community safe.
