The Department is open 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.
We have Enhanced 9-1-1 and Computer- Aided-Dispatch in our mobile data computers
and our recently updated Communications Center. We are a leader in policing and
possess nationally recognized special units in the bike and mounted patrols. We
were the first campus agency in the State to establish a “community police o
fficer”
position with a satellite office. We currently have three of these positions
with plans for more. We are a diverse and progressive organization with quality
goals and objectives. Some of the services provided include development of
crime prevention programs; investigation of reported crimes, disturbances,
traffic accidents, driving violations; transportation to medical facilities when
appropriate; patrol and inspection of campus grounds and buildings as a
deterrent to criminal activity and to detect potential safety or security
problems. The UW-Madison does experience a full range of criminal behavior but a
way to combat this reality is through crime prevention, which is the
responsibility of each member of the University community.
