If there are safety concerns or the situation is an emergency, individuals should call 911 immediately.
Otherwise, individuals may contact local police to file a criminal complaint or seek other law enforcement assistance. Contacting a Victim Advocate (or consulting with another confidential resource) first to learn about how to file a complaint, what the process will entail, and other important details is a recommended first step.
Law Enforcement can be reached at any time by calling “911” for emergencies or one of the numbers listed below.
- Cornell University Police Department
- Ithaca Police Department
- New York State Police
- New York State Police 24-hour dedicated campus sexual assault hotline

In an emergency, call 911.

Students seeking resource/support options may contact Darshita Dhanak, Student Life & Wellness Specialist, or Jacqueline Klein, Director of Student Services. Employees may contact Evelyn Gordon, Senior Director of Human Resources. They can assist with accessing local resources and support services in NYC or Ithaca, and connect individuals to the University Title IX Coordinator. While consultations with these individuals are private, Cornell Tech staff have a duty to report disclosures of sexual misconduct to the University. To discuss matters confidentially that will not be disclosed to the University without explicit permission, see the list of confidential resources.
