Reporting Crimes

Your involvement is essential to the prevention of crime on campus. Disinterest and complacency are the prime contributors to the success of crime. The burden of crime prevention rests not only with the Campus Safety Department but also with each member of the Gustavus Adolphus College community.

Campus Safety cannot be everywhere and are dependent upon students to report suspicious and criminal activity. Students cooperation will greatly influence Campus Safety’s effectiveness in combating crime. Doing your part means:

1. Being aware of your vulnerability and following the suggestions below and in the handbook to protect yourself and your property.
2. Being alert for suspicious or criminal activity and conditions that may represent a hazard to the community.
3. Getting involved by becoming more security conscious and by reporting all incidents of suspicious or criminal activity, no matter how insignificant, to Campus Safety immediately.

Remember that unreported crimes cannot be solved and that, by not reporting crimes, you allow the perpetrators to commit additional and perhaps more serious crimes. Many times crime solving depends upon how accurately and promptly the incident is reported.

It is important that you be able to provide as much of the following information as possible:

1. The nature of the incident.
2. When and where the incident occurred.
3. Number of persons involved and descriptions (names, sex, race, age, height, hair style/color, complexion, facial features, scars, physical defects, glasses, clothing and other distinctive features).
4. Direction and method of travel.
5. Vehicles involved (color, type, make, model, license plate number and state and other distinctive characteristics, i.e., decals, bumper stickers, damage, number of occupants, etc.).
6. Description of stolen property (item, manufacturer, model number, serial number, value, color, dimensions, etc.).
7. Any other applicable information.
