Phones are located near heavily-lighted areas. The student simply dials the university police and the location of the caller is identified to the operator. Cameras are strategically located around the residences halls and parking lots. The University Police Department can provide escort service on a needed basis during evening hours by dialing 593-2611. Report suspected criminals, suspicious or emergency situations by dialing 911.
Time is essential.
The University Police Department is very concerned about providing timely warnings to the entire university community about potential threats to students or employees. This is accomplished through press releases to the student newspaper and e-mail messages to the University community. The University does not record statistics from crimes involving students that occur in other jurisdictions and are investigated by other local police agencies. Such criminal offenses are recorded by the jurisdiction where the crime occurs. However, the University maintains good communication with other departments and tries to monitor incidents involving students in other local jurisdictions.
