Crime Reporting Equals Crime Prevention

of the most important actions that any student, faculty or staff member
can take to prevent crime is to report all criminal incidents and or
criminal activity to the Department of Public Safety (DPS).
On Campus Emergency / 404-880-8911 (or x8911)
Non-emergency / 404-880-8623 (or x8623)
All
crimes should be reported to DPS immediately to ensure timely reporting
and investigation of crimes. In order to alert the CAU community and to
prevent similar crimes, DPS will report incidents of the following
crimes in a timely manner: aggravated assault, burglary, murder, sexual
offenses (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, and motor vehicle thefts.
A summary of the crimes reported will be published annually and
distributed, free of charge, to students and employees and shall also be
available on the DPS Website. The DPS will respond to all criminal
reports according to priority based on the immediate threat or danger to
life, property, and safety. All reports will be responded to with
either an immediate on-site response or an investigative procedure, as
deemed appropriate.
