University Police provides a variety of services to ensure your safety and prevent crime on campus.
Safety
Emergency Alert System
Arkansas State University provides an Emergency Notification Service for faculty, staff, students, and other members of the university community. All faculty, staff, and students are automatically enrolled and have the opportunity to opt-out using the myCampus portal.
Escorts
Our department will provide a safety escort for you 24 hrs a day. Anytime you feel unsafe walking through campus, give us a call and we will walk with you. Both starting and ending locations must remain on campus. Also prepare for the weather as we will walk with you.
Emergency Phones
Emergency phones are located all across campus. Many of them can be identified by the soft glow blue light that is housed above the phone. When the phone is activated, these lights will strobe. There are some emergency phones located inside some of the residential facilities that are wall mounted and do not have blue lights. Also every elevator on campus has an emergency phone inside the cab of the elevator. These phones may be used for any type of emergency as well as to request the service of the University Police Department, such as to request an escort or a vehicle boost.

Engraving
You can contact us to bring an engraver to you or you can stop by our main office to have you items of value engraved with your student i.d. number.

Our office provides online forms that allow users to register information about their personal belongings on campus. Having this information on file greatly increases the chances that these devices can be recovered if stolen.
