The year 2009 will bring many exciting changes at FGCU. The ground breaking of a third garage, the construction of Academic Building VII, the opening of Holmes Hall, and the opening of Biscayne Hall in South Village Housing in the fall, are examples of just some of the growth and challenges everyone will face as this vibrant campus continues to take shape. The men and women of the University Police Department (UPD) play a vital role in this future.

  The goal of all members of UPD is to work with all who comprise the FGCU community to provide a safe and secure environment that allows all to achieve their academic goals and enjoy the college experience. This means offering a variety of crime prevention efforts, insuring safety for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, assisting in coordinating special events, and providing reliable high quality professional service at all times.

  The UPD staff will strive to surpass your highest expectations, but your participation is needed. Removing the opportunity for criminals by locking your campus residence, removing valuables and securing your car, utilizing the shuttle service or after hours escort service if traveling alone, increasing safety by driving cautiously and defensively, and finally by acting responsibly and respectfully to others, will assist in making the campus as safe and friendly as possible.

  The UPD staff is here to assist. If we can be of any assistance, please contact any UPD member you encounter on campus or call, 590-1900. Additionally, please check our website for helpful hints and information. Together we can make everyone’s FGCU experience a positive and enjoyable one.
