The University Police Department is a fully-commissioned police department on the Fairbanks campus that employs full-time police officers, certified by the Alaska Police Standards Council. They are responsible for enforcing Alaska State Statutes, investigating incidents, making arrests, preserving evidence, serving warrants, issuing traffic citations and performing all the other duties of a police officer. Officers also provide special services unique to the university setting. Those services include maintaining security of the university buildings, providing crime prevention classes to students, staff and faculty, and providing safety escorts, vehicle unlocks, and vehicle jumpstarts on the university campus.

The department is open 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. A staff of professional emergency dispatchers is on hand to take your call and direct the proper personnel to assist you.

If there is an emergency, call 911 and be prepared to give the building address and room number. For your safety and convenience, emergency telephones are located throughout campus. Each telephone is clearly marked "EMERGENCY,' and when activated, directly connects to UPD. The location of each phone is marked on the campus map. Each elevator car on campus is also a direct link to University Police emergency dispatchers.
For non-emergency calls to University Police, dial 907-474-7721.

Students, staff, and faculty should report crimes to local police. If there is an emergency, call 911 and be prepared to give the building address and room number. Otherwise, call the local non-emergency phone numbers listed below. 

CSO has a proud tradition on this campus dating back to the early 1970s. Over the years, the program has gone through many transitions while the mission of the program has changed little. The mission of the CSO program, in basic terms, is to protect UAF property, help secure a safe environment for those that live and work on the UAF campus, provide service to the campus community and assist the UAF Police Officers as requested.

Federal law maintains that in addition to University of Alaska Fairbanks Police Department (UAFPD) officers, any person who has a significant responsibility for student and campus activities is a Campus Security Authority (CSA). A CSA is required to report safety-related incidents and/or alleged crimes to UAFPD. A CSA is required by law to report incidents and/or crimes for inclusion in UAF’s crime statistics to the UAF Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability Office.

Reports to CSAs will be evaluated to determine if it is necessary to issue a timely warning to the campus if the incident or crime represents a serious or continuing threat to the campus community. With the exception of student employees, CSAs may file anonymous reports on behalf of victims, unless the report involves gender-based or sexual misconduct. CSAs are responsible employees required to report incidents of gender-based and sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator.

If you are concerned about a student, then make a report with the Fairbanks campus Behavioral Intervention Team or the Student Services director on your campus. For example, Student Care Team provides support and referrals to students who lose a loved one, feel depressed or anxious, or act in an unusual or concerning manner to others.

Student Care Team assesses students' needs and links them to services to provide support. Student Care Team also helps students to address issues that might be barriers to their progress at UAF.

To report a concern, submit the UAF Student Care Team Report Form

The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act is a federal law, which provides for the tracking of convicted sex offenders enrolled at or employed by institutions of higher education. The Act's intent is to extend the protections of sex offender registries to college campuses. Sex offenders, who must register with the State of Alaska, must also provide notice to the State that they are employed, carry on vocation at, or are a student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Information concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained from the Alaska Department of Public Safety website.
