Campus Safety
The primary goal of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Police Department is to provide a safe environment conducive to personal growth and educational development. In order to accomplish this, we have a full-time campus police service that works closely with area agencies to ensure a safe community. The level of crime on campus is low as indicated in our annual Campus & Community Crime Statistics report. We also have campus services and resources such as blue light emergency phones throughout campus for emergency calls, Community Services Officers (CSO's) who patrol the campus throughout the day & night, and CSO's who will escort students after dark so they don't have to walk alone. We work with our students and employees to encourage personal safety measures and to maintain a safe environment.
