Reporting a Crime

HOW TO REPORT A CRIME

Any crime occurring on the Rice University campus, including the BioScience Research Collaborative, the Graduate Apartments on Bissonnet Street and the Rice Village Apartments on Shakespeare Street, should be reported immediately to the Rice University Police Department by calling ext. 6000 or 713-348-6000. This also applies to crimes occurring
in Rice University offices located at the IBC building, 5615 Kirby Dr., and the Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza, 6400 Fannin St. If you are a victim of a crime at an off-campus location, notify the police agency with responsibility for that area or call 911. If you are unsure of the correct agency or want assistance in reporting, please call RUPD for assistance.

HOW YOU CAN CALL FOR SERVICE

You may request routine nonemergency services (escort, key service and car assistance) by activating any blue-light emergency or elevator telephone or by using a campus phone and dialing ext. 6000. From the telephone signal, the dispatcher can determine your location. An officer or security guard will be dispatched to you as soon as possible.
Calls for service are taken in order of the call. Emergency calls are given precedence over service calls.
