Always report incidents of crime you witness both to the University Security Service and to the police. These organisations act together to keep students secure.

Reporting a Crime

If you witness a crime, or are a victim of a crime, always report it to the police and to the University Security Service. Both these organisations work together to keep Leeds students as safe and secure as possible. It should be understood that, although a security officer will take a report of crime from an aggrieved person, it is important that the person also reports the matter to the police. This is necessary for insurance purposes.

For all non-emergency situations call the police on 0845 6060606. You should also telephone the University Security Service on (0113) 343 5494.
