Law Enforcement on Campus (Policy SW-33)

Policy:

Campus security is coordinated by the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Public Safety Department.

Procedure:

The UNMC Public Safety Department consists of both armed and unarmed officers. Officers undergo continuous on-the-job training to upgrade their skills. Officers conduct foot and vehicular patrols of the campus 24 hours a day to deter criminal acts. Unsafe conditions noted by UNMC Public Safety Officers during campus patrols are reported to Facilities.

On campus, the UNMC Public Safety Department enforces all UNMC Public Safety regulations. The UNMC Public Safety Department also works closely with the Omaha Police Department and various authorities, including county, state, and federal agencies.

Students, faculty, and staff members are encouraged to make accurate and prompt reports to the UNMC Public Safety Department and external law enforcement agencies. The department may assist students who choose to report offenses to other appropriate authorities.
