How to Report an Emergency
For campus emergencies requiring police, fire or medical aid:
If you are a witness to or are a victim of a crime, our officers are available to assist. If you are aware of an emergency situation, please report any information you have.
- When to call: Crimes in progress and crimes that have just occurred should be reported immediately by dialing 402.559.5555 or 911.
Whenever possible, please have the actual victim or witness of the crime call directly. Firsthand information is always more accurate and complete. - What to say: The dispatcher will ask a series of questions and have officers respond to the appropriate area. Listen carefully to each question and try to answer it as best as you can. Do not hang up until the dispatcher tells you to do so. Typical information the dispatcher may ask you includes:
- Where did the incident occur? Include building and room area.
- How long ago did the incident occur?
- Give a brief description of what occurred.
- Did the suspect(s) have any weapons?
- Where and when was the suspect last seen?
- Which direction was the suspect headed?

- What did the suspect look like? Include gender, race, age, height and weight, hair color and length, clothing and glasses/facial hair.
