All students, faculty, staff, and visitors are encouraged to report all criminal actions, emergencies, or other public safety-related incidents occurring within the university's Clery geography to the Texas Tech Police Department (TTPD) or applicable law enforcement agency in an accurate, prompt, and timely manner, including times when the victim of a crime elects to, or is unable to, make a report. Accurate and prompt reporting ensures efficient response to incidents of crime and helps to preserve important evidence needed to ensure a successful investigation and prosecution of offenders.

In addition to law enforcement, students can report crimes and misconduct to Responsible Employees or Campus Security Authorities (CSAs), the Dean of Students, the Title IX Coordinator, the Office of Student Conduct, or anyone within the Texas Tech community who is in a position to assist you. Under Clery, a crime is reported when it is brought to the attention of a CSA or local law enforcement personnel by a victim, witness, or other third party or even offender, regardless of if the individual is involved in the crime, reporting the crime, or is associated with the institution. Reporting to TTPD or any of the above allows the university to evaluate, consider and send Timely Warning notifications, disclose crimes through ongoing disclosure processes such as the posting of crimes in the Daily Crime Log and accurately documenting reportable crimes in its annual statistical disclosure.
