Guidance for Interacting with Law Enforcement Agents on Campus

To assist Georgia Tech students and employees with appropriately responding and interacting with local, state, or federal law enforcement agents, essential steps are provided below.

If a local, state or federal enforcement agent requests access to non-public areas of campus, asks questions, or seeks records from you, either as an employee or as a student:

  • Immediately refer the agent to the Georgia Tech Police Department (GTPD) and call the GTPD non-emergency number at 404-894-2500 to notify them of the agency's presence.

The Office of Legal Affairs is a unit within the Office of the General Counsel. The office supports the academic and research mission of the Georgia Institute of Technology through development of solutions designed to minimize Georgia Tech's legal exposure, while advancing the goals and programs of Georgia Tech.

In its support of Georgia Tech's mission, Legal Affairs provides recommendations and legal advice in a variety of areas.  Many of the issues and agreements that the Office of Legal Affairs is asked about are listed in the “Legal Topics” section of this site.  Links to our Standard Form Agreements are located within the "Forms" section. If you have an area of interest or concern that is not listed, or if you need further information, please contact us at asklegal@gatech.edu

This central address will ensure timely and efficient assignment of your question to an attorney.
