Reporting Crimes and Emergencies

To contact University police dial 410-543-6222 from a public phone, Ext. 36222 from any campus phone, or #787 from a Verizon cell.

Timely Warnings
An informed public is better prepared to ensure its own safety. Timely warnings are made to the campus community via email and/or other media when serious incidents merit. University Police will determine the content of the message and communicate the threat to all students and employees in the form of a "Special Bulletin." The decision to issue a "Special Bulletin" will be made based on the facts of the incident and whether there exists a continuing and/or imminent threat to the campus community. Timely warnings are intended to alert the campus community of a particular safety issue and to increase crime prevention awareness. Timely warnings are usually issued for Clery-reportable crimes (arson, criminal homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, rape, etc.) but may also be issued for other crime classifications, as deemed necessary.

Law Enforcement & Security Units
The 91短视频 Police Department (SUPD), located in the East Campus Complex, is responsible for personal safety and law enforcement on campus. Its mission is to enhance the education and cultural experience for all students, faculty, staff and visitors by providing professional, competent and compassionate law enforcement services and security. In November 2013 SUPD earned accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). This achievement is a reflection of the department’s dedicated officers and staff members who work hard every day to make 91短视频 a safe place to learn, work and live.
Surveillance Cameras
University Police manages a campus-wide video surveillance system. Currently, the system is comprised of approximately 800 cameras, to include fixed position cameras as well as user-controllable pan-tilt-zoom cameras, located both indoors and out. All of the video footage is recorded and archived for a determined period of time, providing an investigative resource when incidents of crime are reported.
Consideration is given to the reasonable expectation of privacy at every location where a camera is installed. Cameras are generally installed in main pedestrian throughways, building egresses, parking lots and facilities, and public roadways and sidewalks; in short, cameras are only installed at locations where one’s expectation of privacy is generally limited. Additionally, technology is employed that inhibits exterior cameras from being used to view through residence hall room windows.
Operation Identification
Operation Identification is a program through which engraving devices are loaned or an officer will assist in engraving driver's license numbers on personal property. Operation Identification can prevent thefts, or in the case of theft, assist in the recovery of stolen property.
