Campus Safety
The Department of Public Safety (www.vpaf.uni.edu/pubsaf) is a full-service law enforcement agency for the campus and has over 25 certified officers. The campus safety program includes blue light emergency telephones, an escort service, campus walking patrols, crime alerts, video monitoring of parking areas and crime prevention programming (including RAD). The UNI Alert (www.uni.edu/resources/alert) system notifies students, faculty and staff of emergencies on campus via text messaging, voice mail and email. As a result of these efforts, the campus is a safe environment and crime is minimal.
