Campus Safety

The FIU Police Department is dedicated to improving the quality of life for our community while at the same time reducing fear of crime on campus. To accomplish this, we have adopted a Community-Oriented Policing (COP) philosophy specifically designed to identify and resolve problems within our community. COP consists of two basic complementary fundamentals: community partnerships and problem solving. FIU police officers are enhancing the quality of life for the FIU community through a variety of approaches such as Bicycle Patrol, Operation Bookstamp, self-defense workshops, and crime prevention seminars.
