Jurisdiction and responsibilities
This is the institution's sworn campus law-enforcement organization in Durham County. Campus police and municipal or county police are distinct agencies; institutional rules, criminal reporting and emergency response may involve different procedures.
How the agency is organized
Duke maintains its own university police department with a published investigative function. The investigation page describes cooperation with Durham city and county agencies and other law-enforcement partners. Those working relationships leave Duke Police as a separate institutional agency.
Official records and officer resources
The department's contact and services pages provide direct reporting and investigative information. A Duke Police report should be sought through Duke's agency route rather than presumed available from Durham Police merely because both operate within Durham.
