It is strongly recommended that e-mail not be used for time sensitive requests or information sharing. It should never be used for emergencies.

No person may display or portray as real any object that resembles a dangerous weapon on University lands or in buildings.

  Crime Prevention

  No campus is immune to crime, including the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. The two major crimes reported to the University Police are Criminal Damage to Property and Theft. The International Association of College Law Enforcement Administrators has created a crime prevention web site to provide parents and students with information directed towards college life.

  Taking Care of Yourself

  • If you remain in an academic building after closing time, use the “buddy system” so that you have contact with at least one person. Have a cell phone with you, and pre-program emergency telephone numbers.
  • Use the buddy system to walk at night. Do not use shortcuts, and stay on well traveled sidewalks.
  • Don’t leave purses, books, backpacks, coats or other personal property unattended, even for short time periods.
  • Keep your door locked when your room is unattended, or when you are sleeping.
  • Keep serial numbers of valuable property safely recorded. If possible all valuables should be photographed with the serial numbers and other identifying information labeled on the photograph.
  • Check with your home owner’s insurance about insurance coverage for property kept on campus. If your family home owner’s insurance does not cover property brought to campus, talk to an insurance agent about renter’s insurance.
  • Lock your vehicle, and do not leave property in plain view. Store your property in your room. If you have an interior trunk release, do not store valuables in the trunk.
  • Have several sets of vehicle keys in the event that you accidentally lock the keys in your vehicle. Keep at least one set in your room. Do not lock a spare set of keys in your vehicle.
  • Before entering your parked vehicle, quickly check the seating area to ensure that no one is in or has been in your vehicle.

  Safety and Security Programs

  Information regarding safety and security will be provided by the University Police to anyone requesting information or programming. Some of the programs that are available include alcohol awareness, drunk driving, and sexual assault.
