Campus Safety

The University of Tampa considers the safety and security of all University community members integral to its educational mission. Campus Safety works closely with the dean of students to ensure that guidelines, rules and procedures are properly communicated and executed. Officers also coordinate with Facilities Management to provide a clean and safe environment.

Officers patrol campus 24 hours a day, every day of the year. They also assist with services such as publishing crime prevention information, providing pedestrian escorts, assisting with personal property engraving and vehicle registration.

Campus Safety maintains a close working relationship with both the Tampa Police Department and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. By law, officers from both agencies may enforce laws on campus, including traffic regulations. Numerous educational programs are in place, and programs such as the campus Silent Witness and Student of Concern programs help to raise awareness. All University community members are reminded to be alert and assume responsibility for their personal safety by applying common sense and using services offered.
