While it may be distressing to learn about this incident, it is being shared so you can best protect yourself. Responsibility for a crime lies with the person committing it; however, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk of experiencing crime. Please remember:\n\nUse the U’s SafeRide program or a courtesy escort (main campus: 801-585-2677; University Hospital: 801-581-2294) to get around campus.\n\nIf you feel uneasy, leave the area.

The person causing harm may stop if other people are around.\n\nReport any suspicious activities to University Police at 801-585-2677. Be prepared to provide as many details as possible.\n\nBe aware of your surroundings and avoid distractions. Try to avoid isolated or dark areas. Walk in groups whenever you can—there is safety in numbers.\n\nIf a person approaches you in a way that makes you uncomfortable, maintain a distance and be observant; if they are in a vehicle, get the license plate number, make, model, color, and any additional identifiers, such as damage to the vehicle and direction of flight, if possible.\n\nWhen at home please make sure all doors are locked and safety measures are put in place.\n\nSupport and Resources\n\nAdditional support and resources are available at the SafeU website, through the SafeUT app, and through the U’s Basic Needs Center.\n\nCounseling and support services are available from several entities on campus:\n\nAmerican Indian Resource Center: 801-581-7019\n\nBlack Cultural Center: 801-213-1441\n\nCenter for Disability and Access: 801-581-5020, info@disability.utah.edu\n\nCenter for Ethnic Student Affairs (CESA): 801-581-8151\n\nCenter for Student Wellness (victim-survivor advocates, bystander intervention training): 801-581-7776\n\nDream Center: 801-213-3697\n\nEmployee Assistance Program (staff): 801-587-9319 or 800-926-9619\n\nHousing and Residential Education (available 24/7): 801-587-2000\n\nHuntsman Mental Health Institute crisis line (available 24/7): 801-587-3000\n\nIndependent Review Committee: complaints about public safety personnel may be reported to the Independent Review Committee at irc@utah.edu\n\nInternational Student and Scholar Services: 801-581-8876, international@utah.edu\n\nLGBT Resource Center: 801-587-7973\n\nMH-1: 385-321-5356\n\nOffice for Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action, and Title IX: 801-581-8365\n\nOffice of the Dean of Students: 801-581-7066\n\nOffice of Inclusive Excellence: 801-587-7580\n\nUniversity Counseling Center (students only): 801-581-6826\n\nVeterans Support Center: 801-587-7722, vetcenter@sa.utah.edu\n\nWomen’s Resource Center: 801-581-8030", "isVerbatimConfirmed": true, "sourceUrl": "https://publicsafety.utah.edu/alerts/safety-warning/u-of-u-alert-suspects-sought-in-early-morning-break-in/", "sourceDescription": "U of U Alert — U of U ALERT: Suspects sought in early morning break-in", "annotations": [ "Full body from publicsafety.utah.edu.", "2026-09-21 second deep audit b45 P3 partial: page-scrape-cut-mid-sentence.
