Campus Safety

To meet the ever-growing needs of a large, residential campus, the UGA Police Department operates around the clock serving more than 33,800 students, 9,800 employees and hundreds of daily visitors to the campus. In addition, the department deals with safety challenges brought on by campus construction, traffic and parking issues and the heightened necessity of greater campus security. These challenges are met with dedication to service and a forward-thinking approach to ensuring safety and security. The department supports UGA Alert, an all-campus emergency notification system.
