The primary purpose of the Crime Prevention Division is to act as a liaison between the Police Department and the campus community.  Officers provide education outside the classroom to help prevent students, faculty, staff, and visitors from becoming victims of criminal activity.  Educating the community about current crime trends, risk reduction techniques and reporting suspicious activity immediately, enhances the shared responsibility of preventing crime.  Crime Prevention Officers also promote the department at community events on and off campus.

One of the duties of the Crime Prevention Division is to develop and maintain crime prevention programs. Some of the programs available are:

• Bicycle Registration
• WolfGuard ID Record
• Campus Community Watch
• CrimeStoppers
• Community Liaison Officer Program
• Security Surveys / Assessments
• Responsible Behavior Initiative (RBI)

The Division is also responsible for providing crime prevention lectures to the campus community.  Lectures are offered on the following topics:

• Rape and Sexual Assault Awareness / Date Rape Drugs
• R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defensive Systems)
• Self Defense Seminars
• Alcohol and Drug Law Awareness

The Crime Prevention Division utilizes Mounted Patrol and Bike Patrol officers to accomplish its goal of proactive policing.
