Victim & Witness Information

No one expects to be a victim of crime. But it happens. If you or someone close to you is affected by crime, you may be shocked, angered, or shamed and you may feel helpless and confused. Remember that the cooperation of victims and witnesses is very important.

If you have been a victim of or witness to a crime, where do you turn for information and support? There are several services at the University of Minnesota that offer crime victims and witnesses support and guidance.

I have filed a police report with the University of Minnesota Police Department (UMPD). How do I obtain a copy of the police report?

To receive a copy of the police report, call 612-624-COPS (2677) or stop by the UMPD from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. You will be asked for the Case Control Number (CCN) that you should have received from the police officer. If you do not have the CCN, the report can be located by obtaining your name or other information. The report can be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to you. The UMPD does not charge a fee for police reports in most situations.

How can I report a crime to the UMPD without revealing my identity?

Yes you can. If you feel that you need to keep your identity private but you want to report a crime or provide information to the police regarding a specific crime, you can call the UMPD anonymous tip line at 612-626-TIPS (8477) and leave a message with the necessary information.
