The University encourages the reporting of any incident or crime occurring on campus property through one of two mechanisms: filing a report with the UCSB Police Department or reporting anonymously to one of the appointed crime reporting officials listed under Campus Security Authorities on this Web site. For emergencies, call 911 from phones with prefixes other than 893, or 9-911 from campus phones with the 893 prefix. Emergency telephones are in red boxes (bird houses) or in elevators marked "For Emergency Use." In those cases where there exists a threat to the community, the Police shall determine all matters regarding potential danger and issue timely news releases to the community and to the media.
