Crime Prevention and Residential Safeguards

It is well recognized that the prevention of crime provides the best measure of protection. Therefore, the UCPD operates as a proactive crime prevention team that works closely with the members of the community to make UCR a safer place to work, live and learn.

The Department provides and/or collaborates in presentations on topics such as personal safety, vehicle and residential security, office and equipment security, and rape prevention. Brochures and literature on crime prevention and personal safety are available through the department's investigations/crime prevention office.

In order to increase the level of crime awareness and campus safety at UCR, incidents of criminal activity within the campus community are publicized in many ways: distribution of the UCPD Annual Report and Crime Statistics; maintenance of an ongoing "press log;" dissemination of Community Crime Alert Bulletins (posters); the "Rap Sheet" column in the Highlander student newspaper; articles in the weekly UCReport; "Crime Watch" columns in the campus housing newsletters; via regular police activity reports to campus housing administrators; and through crime prevention programs.

In recent years UCR has experienced growth in the programs that target safety and security. For example, lighting has been improved at many locations around the campus (e.g., parking lots), and several new Emergency Call Boxes (ECBs) have been installed and placed into service. It is anticipated that as the population of UCR increases, so will the personnel, support services and programs designated for safety and security on the campus.
