UNL has research, extension, and teaching facilities located throughout the State. UNL's main campus is located in the city of Lincoln, a community with a population of approximately 200,000. As part of that larger community, UNL shares many of the same interests and problems, including concerns about crime.
Crime is a problem that ignores campus, city, and state boundaries and affects the entire nation.
Although UNL has been fortunate in not experiencing a significant number of crimes in the past, it would not be accurate to state that such incidents have not taken place. As is true in all areas of our society, such incidents have occurred. To control crime, the University of Nebraska Police Services Department, the Division of Student Affairs, students, faculty members, staff members, and visitors are all responsible for a number of measures to insure that members of the campus community and their possessions are protected as much as possible.
