**How do I see UT’s crime log myself? UT police post the last 60 days**

UT police post a daily crime log on their website. It covers the last 60 days and lists each report’s offense, date, address and status. Older reports drop off, so the numbers here will change at our next check.

**How do I report a stolen bike or scooter at UT? Call UT police, 512-471-4441**

Call UT police at [512-471-4441](tel:+15124714441), the nonemergency line, and have the serial number and a photo ready if you have them. If it was taken off campus, report it to Austin police instead.

**Where this comes from UT police crime log**

Checked November 12, 2026. Counts come from the UT Police Department’s daily crime log for September 13 to November 11, 2026, which lists each report’s offense, date, street address and status. We matched each address to UT’s building list; an address UT’s list doesn’t have is shown as an address. The log covers reports to UT police, so a theft reported only to Austin police isn’t here. A report is not a conviction.
