If you are in an emergency situation, dial 911 immediately for law enforcement and medical assistance.

If you, or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, domestic violence, or stalking there are several options to choose from for assistance. This quick reference guide provides the steps you can take if you or someone you know needs assistance. Trauma affects everyone differently and the resources a person may need in the first few days following an incident of violence may be different than the resources a person may need following an incident that occurred several weeks, months, or years ago. The reporting options below will help facilitate the necessary assistance for anyone affected by violence, including victims, witnesses, offenders, friends or family. 

Download the quick reference guide for information on reporting options. A list of comprehensive resources available to you can be found on the Resources and File a Report sections of this website.

File A Report

This is not a police report.

This form can be used by anyone to file reports about possible crimes or incidents. If you are a faculty or staff member designated as "responsible employee" or "campus security authority," you are required to report Clery Act violations, and incidents of sexual assault (rape), domestic and dating violence and stalking to the University. Reports submitted using this form go to the Clery compliance coordinator, the Office of Equity and Compliance, and the SIU confidential advisor. The Office of Equity and Compliance or the confidential advisor will follow up as appropriate. For follow-up by the campus police, submit a police report by calling the Department of Public Safety at 618-453-3771 or visiting the department located at 1175 S. Washington St, Carbondale, IL.
