Confidentiality in Reporting Crimes
When reporting crimes to the police, individuals who are survivors (victims of crime) have rights to keep certain information confidential, including protecting victim and witness information in police, arrest and investigative reports. You may want to contact the Campus Advocate to discuss your options before you report, and it is your right to have an advocate present while you talk to law enforcement or campus officials.
