PROGRAMS OFFERED!

The University Police Department is now offering two new on-line programs!  Students and faculty may now register any electronic items, with their serial numbers, that they wish.  This information will then be saved in a database by the police department so that if the item is ever lost or stolen, the University Police Department will be able to enter these items into the local and national crime databases so that your property can possibly be found and returned, as well as the actor being brought to justice.

In addition, individuals will be able to report any criminal activity on and around the University community anonymously with the use of the Silent Witness program. 

Both of these programs can be accessed on the forms page of this web site.
