Online Reporting for Non-Emergency Incidents

The Duke University Police has made available to the community a new way to report non-emergency reports online, including thefts, vandalism and concerned behaviors (such as suspicious activity or inappropriate behaviors). Remember, if a crime is in progress or if you have an emergency to report, always dial 9-1-1.

The Duke University Police Department provides 24-hour law enforcement and security services to Duke’s academic campus and health system, as well as off-campus areas. Our goal is to provide a safe and secure environment in which to learn, grow and enjoy your Duke experience. We are located on campus at 502 Oregon St. Please visit any time to talk with us about any safety concerns or questions. Your voice and opinion matter.
