Public Safety: Reporting Crime

Reporting Crime

We request all suspicious behavior and crimes be reported as soon as possible and encourage victims to report all incidents to our department at once, regardless of the nature of crime. Crimes occurring on the SUU campus can be reported in person or by calling the SUU Public Safety Department any time of the day during office hours or at night by calling (435) 586 - 7793. Crimes occurring off campus should be immediately reported to the law enforcement agency having proper jurisdiction.

911

Emergencies requiring immediate assistance by police, fire or medical aid can be reported in person by dialing 911 from any telephone on campus. All of the telephones located on campus are tied into the 911 emergency system. Emergencies can also be reported by using one of the Emergency phones throughout the campus.

What to say when calling 911: For each call received, a dispatcher will ask a series of structured questions while a second dispatcher will be sending the appropriate assistance to your location. Listen carefully to each question and try to answer it as best you can.
