All crimes, traffic collisions, medical and fire incidents should be reported immediately to University Police. In an emergency, University Police may be contacted by telephone at (757) 594-7777, or by using any one of the call boxes located on campus. The immediate reporting of any crime, especially sexual assaults, assists in the preservation of evidence, which may be necessary to convict a person involved in criminal activity.  Information on crimes that may impact or relate to the surrounding community is shared with appropriate law enforcement agencies.

If a murder, sex offense, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, or motor vehicle theft occurs and there is a potential for continuation of the crime, a notice of "timely warning" will be posted. It is the policy of the University to require all criminal acts be reported to University Police. University Police will investigate every report of suspicious and criminal activity.

Non-emergency reporting of crimes and other incidents may be made by calling University Police on the non-emergency telephone, (757) 594-7053, by visiting the Office of the University Police during regular business hours or by activating one of the emergency call boxes on campus.
