EXPANDED SAFETY SERVICES

The UO urges everyone to report criminal activity (such as a break-in or intruder, robbery, or assault) immediately to 9-1-1, or for non-emergency situations on campus, to the UO Police Department's (UOPD) non-emergency line at 541-346-2919. Please report by phone and make sure that a report has been taken; get a case number from the agency if possible.
