Campus Watch
The UAPD Crime Prevention Office has adopted the concept of Community Policing by establishing Campus Watch as one of its tools to combat crime on campus. Campus Watch is modeled after the Neighborhood Watch program. The concept of community watch programs is to encourage its members to take an active role in the safety and security. Campus Watch is designed to educate community members through presentations on issues of safety and security, offering security surveys, recommending changes or additions to buildings that would make the work place safer, providing statistics and crime trend information and insuring timely distributions of campus alerts. Campus Watch is a formal network of communication for the community. In creating this network, Campus Watch hopes to encourage all UA departments to exchange information and share their concerns with one another, in turn, creating a greater sense of personal ownership in campus safety and security. The police department, through Campus Watch, can assure the university campus community that reporting suspicious persons and suspicious activities greatly influences the success of any crime prevention program and ultimately the safety of its own community members. Campus Watch uses many avenues to reach the community. The Campus Watch Community News letter is an effort to establish the UAPD as a resource and partner to the UA community.
Campus Watch will naturally develop to meet the needs of the community and we welcome your input. If you have any questions about the program please contact us via e-mail, phone or visit our office.
