Crime Report Procedures
All members of the college community are encouraged to report actual and suspected
criminal behavior or other emergencies that occur on campus to the Vincennes University Police
Department. On campus, telephone number 5555; dialing from off campus, 888-5555. The report will be
fully investigated by the Department.
Vincennes University has always advocated prompt and accurate reporting of all
crimes that occur on campus. Every report of a criminal incident is recorded on a University Police
Incident Report and assigned a sequential number for that reporting period.
In all cases of criminal activity, the complainant is encouraged and assisted by
the University Police Department to report the incident to the proper law enforcement
authorities.
Reporting a Suspicious Person on Campus
If you see a suspicious person on campus or believe that a crime has been
committed, notify the Vincennes University Police Department immediately. Give full details, such
as physical description, clothing, car make, model, license plate number, etc. Your cooperation is
essential in a successful investigation, apprehension and recovering of property.
Crime Awareness
It is an unfortunate fact that criminal incidents of all types occur on college
campuses. Many campuses around the country investigate and make public the nature of crimes, the
quantity of crimes and how they are investigated. Vincennes University subscribes to that approach
and further believes that the public should know how active the University Police are in crime
prevention and detection.
Weapons Policy
The possession or use of any type of weapon on University property or in University
facilities by students, faculty, staff and/or visitors is strictly forbidden. Only those
individuals authorized by the University are permitted to carry weapons.
Details of the policy are printed and distributed annually in the Student
Handbook.
Campus Security Act
The Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act was signed into law (Public Law
101-542) in November of 1990. This law requires colleges and universities to compile crime
statistics (beginning with the 1991-92 school year) and to make annual reports of crime statistics
and all policies and procedures to current and prospective students, employees, and inquiring
public.
