Policy

If you are approached by someone representing themselves as a law enforcement officer and who requests information about Harvard students, faculty or staff please tell them to contact the Office of the General Counsel (OGC). http://www.ogc.harvard.edu 617-495-1280. See Harvard Staff Advisory: Responding to Law Enforcement Requests.)

The OGC is the only organization at Harvard authorized to respond to such requests. An exception should be made if you conclude that a fast response is required to protect someone's health or safety. In such a case please record the name and identification of the requester and the information that was requested. Contact the OGC as soon as possible to let them know what happened.
