Community Affairs

Crime prevention is defined as the anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it. To that end, the University of Kentucky Police have developed crime prevention programs, established security standards and implemented physical security techniques in an effort to create a safer environment for those who live, study and work on the University of Kentucky campus.

As a community, we encourage opportunistic crime by our lackadaisical attitudes. The focus of the Crime Prevention Office is to create a partnership between the university community and the police. Our goal is to create a heightened sense of awareness in each individual so that they may assume a greater level of responsibility for their own safety. See some of our Crime Prevention Tips.

To ensure your safety and the safety of others at the University of Kentucky, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the information contained within this document.
