Introduction

The University of Northern Colorado is committed to making its campus a safe and secure campus where the pursuit of higher education can take place while balancing individual rights, responsibilities and freedoms.

Many positive steps have been taken to reach that objective, including placing highly visible emergency telephones throughout campus, upgrading lighting along our sidewalks and in our parking lots, and increasing safety and crime reduction programs for students. In addition, the University has a well-publicized Drug and Alcohol policy and Student Code of Conduct that is vigorously enforced.

Although our campus our campus is typically viewed as conservative, quiet, and reasonable safe, the University is a community with a number of people from different backgrounds, much like any other “city”. This, combined with the fact that the University is an open campus, lends to the possibility of a criminal act occurring against a member of the University community despite the best efforts of the Police and Administrative staff.

It is for this reason the University continually strives to upgrade the campus’ physical security, improve crime reduction programs, and provide proactive policing. It is imperative, however, that students and employees also accept responsibility for their own security and the security of others. We encourage everyone to report criminal actions, emergencies or suspicious activity immediately to the University Police.

The University has reported its crime statistics to the FBI through the Uniform Crime Reports for many years. This reporting is used to identify problem areas and develop plans to address those problems. The data contained in this statement are published because the University feels it is vital for prospective students or present members of the University community to be able to make informed decisions about their personal safety. These data are also used to identify areas in which individuals need to take extra precautions to protect their property. Additional questions regarding crime statistics or campus safety may be directed to the University Police in Gray Hall.
