They are responsible for enforcing ºÚÁÏÉçappState Statutes, investigating incidents, making arrests, preserving evidence, serving warrants, issuing traffic citations and performing all the other duties of a police officer. Officers also provide special services unique to the university setting. Those services include maintaining security of the university buildings, providing crime prevention classes to students, staff and faculty, and providing safety escorts, vehicle unlocks, and vehicle jumpstarts on the university campus.

The department is open 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. A staff of professional emergency dispatchers is on hand to take your call and direct the proper personnel to assist you.

If there is an emergency, call 911 and be prepared to give the building address and room number. For your safety and convenience, emergency telephones are located throughout campus. Each telephone is clearly marked "EMERGENCY,' and when activated, directly connects to UPD. The location of each phone is marked on the campus map.

The mission of the CSO program, in basic terms, is to protect UAF property, help secure a safe environment for those that live and work on the UAF campus, provide service to the campus community and assist the UAF Police Officers as requested.

Federal law maintains that in addition to ºÚÁÏÉçapp Police Department (UAFPD) officers, any person who has a significant responsibility for student and campus activities is a Campus Security Authority (CSA). A CSA is required to report safety-related incidents and/or alleged crimes to UAFPD. A CSA is required by law to report incidents and/or crimes for inclusion in UAF’s crime statistics to the UAF Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability Office.

Reports to CSAs will be evaluated to determine if it is necessary to issue a timely warning to the campus if the incident or crime represents a serious or continuing threat to the campus community. With the exception of student employees, CSAs may file anonymous reports on behalf of victims, unless the report involves gender-based or sexual misconduct. CSAs are responsible employees required to report incidents of gender-based and sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator.

If you are concerned about a student, then make a report with the Fairbanks campus Behavioral Intervention Team or the Student Services director on your campus. For example, Student Care Team provides support and referrals to students who lose a loved one, feel depressed or anxious, or act in an unusual or concerning manner to others.

Student Care Team assesses students' needs and links them to services to provide support. Student Care Team also helps students to address issues that might be barriers to their progress at UAF.
