CAMPUS SAFETY
The University of Alabama Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report and The University of Alabama Gadsden Center Annual Campus Security Report are available. These reports are required by federal law and contain policy statements and crime statistics and, for UA, applicable fire safety policies and procedures. These reports also address policies, procedures and programs concerning safety and security (e.g., policies for responding to emergency situations and sexual offenses). Three years of statistics are included for certain types of crimes that were reported to have occurred on campus, in or on off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the school, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to the campus. The UA and Gadsden Center reports are available online to view or print at safety.ua.edu. You may also request a paper copy of either report from The University of Alabama Police Department’s Office of Community Services by telephone at 205-348-8361, by email at ua.police@ua.edu or by U.S. Postal Service at Box 870180, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0180.
