Reporting Crime

In the event of an emergency where an actual crime is taking place, be advised of the following important contact numbers. The first step is to dial 911. If you are using a phone line in the residence hall, dial 9-911.

Tulsa/Extension Campuses

Community members, students, faculty, staff and guests are encouraged to report all crimes and public safety related incidents to the SNU Campus Police office. The Campus Police Department is located at 4217 N. Peniel Avenue, Bethany, OK 73008.

If you become aware of a crime after it has occurred, it is still very helpful if you will report the incident to SNU Police – 405-491-6309.

Students or employees who are victims/witnesses to a crime may elect to report the crime on a confidential basis. University personnel endeavor to investigate crime based on the information provided. Even if the use of the information is restricted by a request for confidentiality, the information can be very useful in providing timely warnings to others in the community, in addition to assisting with an investigation of an incident.

If you have been a victim or a witness to a crime and desire confidentiality in reporting, you should state your desire to submit a confidential report when contacting any of the offices or personnel shown above as campus authorities.

University personnel serving as licensed counselors who work within a confidential counseling role are encouraged, at the time a crime is reported, to inform clients of the procedures for reporting crime voluntarily and anonymously. This is for the purpose of providing accurate statistics on campus crime.

The University encourages and allows counselors to provide anonymous information on crime to a campus authority on a case-by-case voluntary basis.

In order to keep personal injuries at a minimum, you are encouraged to report observed physical hazards to Facilities Management, 405-491-6356 and/or Campus Police, 405-491-6309.

SNU-Tulsa: Please contact the SNU-Tulsa Director at 918-664-4100.

When any of the campus security authorities noted above receive a report of a crime or a situation that poses a potential threat to students and/or employees, Campus Police personnel will publish a warning or an alert to the campus, attempting to warn of the potential of criminal activity. Campus Police will utilize one of the following as primary means of notification: emergency notification system (SNU Alert!), campus wide e-mails, notification via residence life personnel, and voice-mail for staff and faculty as the primary means of notification. The Forecast (weekly announcement), Chapel announcements, and articles in the student newspaper, The Echo are alternate routes of notification.

SNU’s Campus Police Staff maintain a record of reported crimes and their status. If you would like to review this record, you can find it at the Campus Police Office.

SNU-Tulsa: The federal regulations do not require a limited-service campus site such as SNU-Tulsa to maintain a crime log. However, students and/or employees with questions about reported crimes should contact the Director of SNU-Tulsa’s office for assistance.
