What to do if a campus police officer sent me an email yesterday requesting I contact him saying that he needs to speak with me concerning a police case?
I’m not sure what to do. I haven’t done anything wrong that I am aware of. Should I speak with him? I tried contacting him right after the email was received but he had already left the office for the day.

Just remember that anything you say to this police officer can be used against you in court. You do not have to say or speak to this police officer. You have not been charged with a crime, and even if you were, you still are under no obligation to answer any questions by law enforcement. To be safe, I would always contact a criminal defense attorney in your area to discuss this matter first to further protect your legal interests.
