1. Report the crime to NDSCS Police immediately (located in the Hektner Student Center). If on campus, dial 701-671-2233 or 9-911 for any of the following emergencies: medical assistance, fires, suspicious people or activities, crime reports, traffic accidents, other law violations, etc. If off campus in Wahpeton, dial 701-642-7777 (non-emergencies) or 911 (emergencies) for the Wahpeton Police Department. If off campus in Fargo, dial 701-241-1310 for the Fargo Police Department. You may remain anonymous by going to NDSCS.edu/Concern.
2. Obtain a description of the offender(s), including sex, age, race, hair, clothing and distinguishable features. Also attempt to obtain a description and license number of any vehicles involved. Note the direction taken by the offender or the vehicles and report these to the police.
3. Preserve the crime scene. Do not touch any items involved in the incident. Close off the area of the incident and do not allow anyone in the crime scene area until police arrive.
4. Consider contacting student counseling services in Riley Hall at 701-671-2286. The counseling center may be able to help ease the trauma you may feel as a victim of a crime.
