All crimes occurring on campus or at UCDMC should be reported immediately to the UC Davis Police to ensure that appropriate action is taken. The UC Davis Police Department has primary jurisdiction over the University of California, Davis, campus and the UC Davis Medical Center.
To report crimes in progress or police, fire, or medical emergencies on campus or at UCDMC, dial 9-1-1 from any campus or UCDMC telephone, including pay phones (this will connect you directly to the UC Davis Police Department). The University strongly encourages victims to report immediately all incidents and/or any suspicious activity to the UC Davis Police any time of the day or night. Crimes occurring off-campus should be reported immediately to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction.
At UCDMC, emergencies can also be reported by using one of the yellow telephones located throughout facilities and parking areas. In an emergency, you need only lift the receiver to be connected to the hospital operator. Even if you are unable to speak, if you dial 9-1-1 or use a yellow emergency telephone, the dispatcher/operator can locate the phone from which you are calling and will dispatch a police officer. If there is a fire and no telephone is available, activate one of the fire alarms located throughout campus and UCDMC.
For NON-EMERGENCY calls for assistance, call the UCD Police Department at 752-1230 (campus) or 734-2555 (UCDMC). The UC Davis Police Department is located in the Fire/Police Building on Kleiber Hall Drive. Requests for services at the UCDMC can be made at the Police Department located in Lot 7, adjacent to the Emergency Room.
Crimes can be averted and suspects apprehended more quickly if suspicious activity is reported promptly. If someone's actions or the situation is disturbing, threatening, or out of the ordinary, call the UC Davis Police Department. The police will assess the situation and take any necessary and appropriate action. We also invite reports of physical hazards (for example, a broken stair or non-functioning traffic light).
