Should a major crime, or incident of significance, occur on, or adjacent to campus, the SRU Police post a warning for community awareness. This warning, also called a crime and safety alert, is posted and distributed through various mediums. It is designed to provide timely notification to the campus community of a crime or safety concern. The alerts provide information regarding the matter in question, and assist all concerned in taking appropriate safety precautions.

Anyone who becomes aware of a crime, or potential crime/incident, is urged to immediately report the information to the SRU Police, or a university administrator. Once reported, crime and safety alerts will be posted as needed.
