"WE TIP" Hotline:
The Department of Police Services operates a We-Tip Hotline that is available for reporting concerns and information regarding criminal activity ANONYMOUSLY. Providing information to university police can be very helpful in solving a crime. Although we hope that you contact the police department and offer information you may have, we also understand that you may have some reservations in doing so and therefore we offer an anonymous way to report. Please help in making Cal State Northridge an even safer community by calling (818) 677-2111 or (818) 677-TIPS (8477) to report crime anonymously.
