The UConn Police Department is actively investigating the criminal activity which occurred after the game on Monday night.

There are numerous videos and photographs circulating on the internet and social media sites which clearly show people engaged in criminal activity on the Storrs campus.  Police investigators have collected and secured these images as well as video from the university security camera system, all of which is evidence that will be used in the criminal prosecutions of these crimes.  Investigators will work to identify those who are engaged in criminal behavior.  As part of the identification process, it may be necessary to post images and videos online and on social media of people engaged in these acts to solicit information to help us identify those who caused damage. In many cases, the images are in high resolution and the individuals in them can be seen clearly. In advance of posting these videos and photographs, we are offering an opportunity to those who may have engaged in criminal activity to proactively contact police investigators to provide their information and describe their conduct.

To be clear: this is not an amnesty program. If the conduct you relate to police investigators is deemed a crime, they will apply for an arrest warrant and, if approved, you will be arrested.  If you are a UConn student, the arrest information will be shared with the University. This is a chance to take responsibility for your actions and be an informed participant in the process, rather than waiting and wondering when police investigators will be visiting you.

If you have information you would like to share with a UConn Police investigator, please contact Lieutenant Peter Harris at peter.harris@uconn.edu or call 860-486-4800.
