The year 2008 will bring many exciting
changes at FGCU. The opening of the 1000 space Parking Garage #2, the
ground breaking of a third garage, the completion of three building-
Business, Engineering, and Hospitality- and the opening of 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.
