Crime On Campus: Reporting Policies, Practices & Procedures
Loyola has been fortunate in that it has experienced a relatively low incidence of crime, especially violent crime. This can be attributed to the diligence of the Loyola community in its effort to ensure a safe place in which to work and live. Yet, some crime does occur.
How To Report A Crime
It is the policy of Loyola University that all crimes, suspicious circumstances, or conditions that pose a threat to safety or security of community members or guests of the university be reported immediately to University Police. A report may be made via the university’s 911 emergency telephone system, by calling x3434 on campus or 865-3434 off campus, "blue light" emergency telephones on campus, in person at University Police offices or directly to an officer in the field. In addition, information concerning any of the above conditions may be relayed anonymously via e-mail through our "silent witness" program. However, submitting information through "silent witness: does not constitute filing an official police report. You may also report a crime to a campus security authority.*
*"Campus security authority" includes any official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student or campus activities.
Confidential Reporting
While the university strongly encourages the reporting of all crimes, it is understood that the welfare and choice of a victim of crime comes first. It is a policy and/or practice of Counseling & Career Services and University Ministry to encourage counselors to inform victims and witnesses to report crimes on a voluntary confidential basis for inclusion in the university’s annual crime report when the counselor deems it appropriate.
Police Response
Upon notification, University Police officers will respond to the scene if applicable, conduct an investigation into the alleged incident, restore and maintain peace and order, and take appropriate action within the scope of their duties.
University Police report all serious on-campus crimes to the New Orleans Police Department and provide records of all pertinent information to assist in the investigation.
All members of the university community are urged to lend their support, both in reporting of crimes, suspicious circumstances, or fires, and by practicing preventive measures to reduce crime and promote safety. The ability of University Police officers to be in all places at all times is impossible; but the eyes of the campus community are many and are needed in order to maintain a safe campus environment. We all share in the responsibility for a safe campus, so please REPORT IMMEDIATELY any crime, suspected crime, or suspicious circumstance.
REMEMBER: When reporting an incident to University Police, provide accurate and prompt information. Remain calm and stay on the line with the dispatcher. Be prepared to provide the information requested, such as your name, your location, and an accurate description of the circumstances involved. Given the small geographic size of the campus, University Police officers will arrive quickly.
For NON-EMERGENCY assistance,dial 865-3434 or ext. 3434
on campus.
EMERGENCY - DIAL 911
