Campus Safety
Through the office of crime prevention, University police officers provide educational programs to students and employees on personal safety, sexual assault/acquaintance rape prevention, drug and alcohol abuse prevention, and other related topics. The Department of University Police welcomes the chance to talk with any campus group. Candid dialogue between UA Police and the public has crated greater confidence in the community to report unlawful activities. Potential illegal actions and on-campus emergencies can be confidentially reported by any student, staff member, or faculty.
