Living, Learning, and Working Together<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

URI students are an important part of the communities surrounding the University. Most students who live off campus are also neighbors, renters, employees, volunteers, and community members. The Commuter Affairs Office works with students, property owners, local officials, and community members to support respectful and constructive relationships beyond campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is an immediate threat to someone’s safety, a crime in progress, a fire, a medical emergency, or other situation requiring immediate assistance, call 911.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not use a URI reporting form or email for an emergency. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

URI’s conduct reporting system is not monitored 24\/7 and specifically advises that emergencies should be directed to local<\/em> emergency services. For a non-emergency situation occurring in your community<\/strong>, contact the appropriate local<\/em> police department, municipal department, or other local authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:
South Kingstown:<\/strong> The town’s 311 system handles many non-emergency municipal concerns, including parking, property maintenance, zoning, traffic safety, graffiti, and other community issues. For immediate safety or utility hazards, South Kingstown directs residents to Police Dispatch at 401-783-3321<\/strong>; call 911<\/strong> for life-threatening emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narragansett:<\/strong> The Narragansett Police Department can be reached at 401-789-1091<\/strong>. The town also provides reporting and complaint pathways for various municipal, traffic, nuisance, and code-related concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live outside South Kingstown or Narragansett?<\/strong> Contact the police department or municipal office serving the location where the issue is occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
