The University of Alaska Fairbanks police are committed to creating an environment at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in which teaching, research and public service may flourish.

The UAF Fire Department provides fire, emergency medical service (EMS) and rescue services to the UAF campus as well as the University Fire District, which encompasses a five-mile radius around the campus. The fire and EMS district is served on a contract basis to approximately 22,000 people.
