Silent Witness Program

Often students are the first to become aware of a concern that might jeopardize the safety of others in our University community.  All members of the community need to take an active role in reporting threats or concerns that could lead to violence or other criminal activity.  The Silent Witness Program and Anonymous Reporting Form was developed to allow members of the community to anonymously report the following types of incidents:

  • Witness a crime
  • Area victim of a crime but do not wish to make an official police report
  • Become aware of suspicious activity on campus
  • Are concerned about the welfare of an individual.
