Campus Safety
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a safe campus in a safe city. University Police are well-trained, commissioned, professional police officers capable of handling all types of activities - from the routine to the emergency. UNL helps ensure campus safety by using freestanding "emergency call stations" with direct connect to 911 throughout campus and a network of security cameras that monitor parking facilities, housing units and primary pedestrian areas. The UNL Alert system allows students and others to sign up to be notified by text message, e-mail or telephone in the event of any emergency, and an Emergency Preparedness Web site, along with educational outreach, helps students, faculty and staff plan for and protect themselves for emergencies. A new Threat Assessment Partnership gives a coordinated approach to assessing and mitigating personal threats.
