Crime prevention specialists within the University Police Operations also conduct security surveys of campus facilities and recommend types and placements of alarm system, security of a particular area or building. University departments wishing to request a facility security survey should contact the Department of Public Safety at 255-3111.

Housing Village Security
Access to the any on-campus residential facility is limited to UCCS students who reside in either Summit or Alpine Villages. Access to any residential facility is controlled through an electronic door access system. The UCCS Student ID is programmed to allow access to these facilities.

University staff and maintenance workers may be granted access to the residential halls in the course of their duties. A guest may access any residential facility if a housing resident accompanies them. The resident is responsible for escorting their guest(s) at all times, and for explaining housing rules and regulations to each guest.

Emergency Phones
Outlying parking lots are equipped with emergency phones that directly link into Colorado Springs 9-1-1 center, for life-threatening emergencies. These phones also dial into the campus police communication center for all other assistance.

Calls placed to Colorado Springs 9-1-1 emergency center, from a campus phone, are tracked directly into our police dispatch center. Campus police are immediately dispatched to the location from which the call is being placed.
