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 University Police Department welcomes the chance to talk with any campus group. Candid dialogue between UA Police and the public has created 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. Complaints received by UA police that fall outside their jurisdiction are referred to the appropriate agency, or the complainant will be provided with a phone number where the complaint may be filed. Likewise other agencies refer complaints to University Police when appropriate. If you would like to schedule an appointment for an educational program, call ext. 5454. For emergencies, dial 911 from any campus phone. If you require non -emergency assistance, dial ext. 7123
