SECURITY AWARENESS
CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS

The University Police Operations Division, within the Department of Public Safety, offers a number of programs that promote security awareness and crime prevention.  All University police officers are dedicated to crime prevention. In addition to departmental programs, the Police Department cooperates with other units on campus to present security and safety programs. A common theme of all programs is to encourage students and employees to be aware of their responsibility for their own security and the security of others.
