Blue Bullhorn Reporting PROCESS

Each university member is expected to report actual or suspected violations of laws, regulations, VCU policies and procedures, or other misconduct. Management has a special duty to recognize and report violations.

Crimes should be reported to VCU Police at (804) 828-1234 or through the web-based crime reporting form.*

*Serious employee injuries, non-employee incidents and damage to VCU property should be reported via Safety and Risk Management's Timely Reporting page.


When you have concerns, you have options. You may:

  • Report violations or concerns to your immediate supervisor or department head, if appropriate. 

  • Call or email the ICO to discuss the situation or learn more about reporting options at (804) 828-2336 or ucompliance@vcu.edu.

  • Call the VCU Helpline at (888) 242-6022, or log a report online at vcuhelpline.com. You may choose to remain anonymous, and any information you provide will be handled with discretion and remain private. The VCU Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
