How to Report Crimes

The Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology and Campus Security strongly encourages any victim of or a witness to a crime occurring on or near the College—regardless of its nature—to report the incident immediately to Campus Security to ensure that prompt and appropriate action can be taken.

Crimes occurring off campus should be reported to the local law enforcement agency having proper jurisdiction. If you are unsure of the proper jurisdiction, contact Campus SDecurity and they will assist you in contacting the proper agency.
