Our sworn and academy-trained officers and our support staff work as partners with many university departments, offices, and student and civic organizations in developing and maintaining a safe and secure campus. The police department understands the overall academic mission of the University and strives to play a vital role in enhancing that mission through crime prevention, education, inspection, and enforcement. Although the campus consistently has a low crime rate, this is not possible without all members of the campus community working in partnership and exercising their shared responsibility for safety and security. Our department shares your concern for your safety and welfare, and we are ready to serve you 24 hours a day throughout the year. Campus crime is a reality and preventing it is a responsibility shared by all members of the campus community.
Public apathy is a criminal's greatest ally.
If you see or suspect criminal activity, you cannot assume that someone else has reported it. Whether you are a victim or an observer, you should report any crime, suspicious activity, or emergency on campus to the University Police Department. Remember, you don't need proof that a crime has occurred. If you are suspicious, call the University Police Department at 325-2121. In case of emergency, simply dial 911.
