Campus Safety
Reporting Criminal/Suspicious Activity
All individuals should promptly report criminal activity, suspicious activity, accidents, and emergencies on college property.
Reporting Incidents and Emergencies
Reports can be made in person, by telephone, or through the ObieAlert App to Campus Safety. The Campus Safety Office can be reached directly from most campus telephones. Residents of College Village Housing and 137 Elm Street should dial (440) 775-8911.
Potential criminal or suspicious activity, as well as other emergencies requiring police intervention, may also be reported to the
Oberlin Police Department:

For immediate emergency assistance, dial 911 from any campus telephone or press the “Call 911 in US” button in the ObieAlert App. This service connects you to countywide emergency services, including fire, law enforcement, and EMS rescue teams. These responders may collaborate with Campus Safety as needed. Please note that dialing 911 is not supported via the campus emergency "Blue Light" telephone system.
The ObieAlert App also includes buttons to “Call Campus Safety” and “Call Suicide and Crisis” for additional support.
