Reporting Incidents
Incident Investigation
Timely Reporting

Public Safety strongly recommends that all crimes and emergency situations which occur on campus or in the campus area be reported to Public Safety at once. Canisius College initiates, supports and encourages the investigation of crimes and incidents reported to Public Safety which have occurred on campus or in the campus area. To report these incidents, call the Department of Public Safety from an on-campus telephone at 711 or Ext. 2330, or from an off-campus telephone call (716) 888-2330, or visit the Public Safety Office in the lower level of Bosch Residence Hall. Dispatchers are on duty 24 hours a day to take your call and dispatch Public Safety officers to investigate.

In addition, a number of well marked exterior blue-light telephones are located throughout the campus. They can be used to report a criminal incident, fire or any other type of emergency. To report crimes and incidents off-campus, please contact the law enforcement agency serving the area. If the victim of a crime on campus or in the campus area would like to report the incident confidentially, one of the following offices may be contacted:

Counseling Center Ext. 2620
Campus Ministry   Ext. 2420
If an incident is reported in confidence to either of these offices, the victim’s identity will be protected. If it is determined that the circumstances of the crime pose a danger to other members of the campus community, then general information about the incident may be released to Public Safety or other members, of the campus community. This helps to ensure that the campus community receives timely reports about significant criminal incidents that have been reported.
