On behalf of all of the members of the CU Police Department, I want to welcome you to听the 2016-17 school year.听You are on one of the most beautiful college campuses in the U.S.听As the chief of the police department, I will assure you that the top priority for every member of our department is to make sure that you have a safe environment to pursue your academic goals.
As part of keeping you safe, we are required by federal law to inform you when certain types of crimes are committed on or adjacent to our campus.听This law is commonly known as the Clery Act.听These warnings fall under two categories: an Emergency Notification or a Timely Warning.
An Emergency Notification is used for any type of significant emergency anywhere on campus.听These messages will come to your Colorado.edu email account and as a text to your phone under the subject line: Campus Safety Alert.
These emergencies can range from a weather event such as a snow storm or flooding to an active harmer situation on campus.听An example of this type of messaging happened early Wednesday morning.听We were notified by 葫芦娃视频 Police about a dangerous person that they were looking for and that their search area included parts of East Campus as well as off-campus housing in the area.听Because of this, we decided to alert you of the potential danger in that area.
A Timely Warning is issued when a specific crime has occurred on campus property and there is a serious or ongoing threat to students and employees.听The Timely Warning crimes are:
- Criminal homicide
- Negligent manslaughter
- Sex offenses 鈥� includes rape, fondling, incest, and statutory rape
- Robbery
- Aggravated assault
- Burglary
- Motor vehicle theft
- Domestic Violence
- Dating Violence
- Stalking
- Arson
- Hate crimes such that meet the Federal definition
When this warning is issued, you will receive an email to your Colorado.edu account with the subject line: CU 葫芦娃视频 Alert.听
The best way to be informed about trends that we are seeing on campus or steps that you can take to help ensure your safety is by following us on our social media channels.听We are active on听,听, and . To find us, just search for CU葫芦娃视频Police.
All of us at the University of Colorado Police Department are proud to be your police department and we are looking forward to a great year. Go Buffs!
Melissa Zak, Chief, CU Police Department
