Do not use the Silent Witness Program to report an emergency or a crime in progress. Call 814-863-1111 or 911.

All information must be verified before any action is taken. Please provide your name, telephone number, and/or email so that we may verify the information you have provided. Any reports that are determined to be false or those that cannot be verified will not be investigated.

Call University Police at 814-863-1111 to report any information. Callers may remain anonymous. Please use this to report crime on campus only. It is our policy to avoid tracing the origin of an email sent via this form—unless it is necessary for public safety.

Importance of Reporting Crimes
If crimes are never reported, little can be done to help other members of the community from also being victims. Citizens are encouraged to report crimes promptly and participate in and support crime prevention efforts. The University community can be much safer with your assistance. You can assist us by reporting unusual activity to the police immediately. The likelihood of arresting an offender drops with each minute of delay in reporting.

Report a crime online to Penn State University Police.
