If you decide to file a police report, you must file it with the department that has jurisdiction of the location where the incident occurred.
You have the right to report incidents of interpersonal violence to law enforcement or the University.
If the incident occurred outside of Tippecanoe County or you are unsure of what department to contact to file a police report, we recommend connecting with a CARE advocate. Advocates can help you determine what department to contact and meet you at the police station or arrange for an officer to meet you at their office to file a report.
