DUTY TO REPORT
It is imperative that the University community reports criminal and suspicious activity to the University Police. Timely reports allow for timely response and eventually to a safer campus. Do your part, report!
Colorado Statute 18-8-115 "Duty to Report a Crime" states that "It is the duty of every corporation or person who has reasonable grounds to believe a crime has been committed to report promptly the suspected crime to law enforcement authorities." Colorado is a "Duty to Report" State. Therefore, the crime statistics published in this report are gathered from all persons at the University. Faculty, staff, administrators and employees are required to report any crime they become aware of to the University
Police. In addition, the University has designated the University Police as the sole reporting site. Only licensed counselors at the University Counseling Center and victim Advocates at the Assault Survivors Advocacy program, are exempt from the reporting requirement. State statute provides these professionals with confidentiality. Colorado is also an "Open Records" State. This means there are no confidential crime reports, arrests, or public
records. The University of Northern Colorado requires all its employees to comply with the appropriate laws of the State of Colorado and federal statutes.
