The UL Lafayette Police Department (UP) maintains a close working relationship with area law enforcement agencies, criminal justice components, and all University administrative departments. UP is located at the center of campus and our officers maintain 24-hour patrol coverage. They respond to crimes, illnesses, fires, service calls, traffic accidents, and other emergencies.

Clery Compliance police.louisiana.edu/jeanne-clery-act The UL Lafayette Police Department is dedicated to maintaining a safe and secure environment for learning and working. Because UP, like many urban campuses, does experience some crime, the UL Lafayette Police Department wants students, faculty, and staff to be aware of crime on campus. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to disclose annual information about campus crime. You can obtain a copy of this report by contacting UP or visiting their website.

Environmental Health & Safety/ Risk Management Public Safety’s Office of Environmental Health (safety.louisiana.edu) manages the UL Lafayette Emergency Notification System (ENS), oversees our hurricane preparedness and response, and informs the campus community of health issues.

Joey Pons heads Public Safety’s Office of Environmental Health and Safety/ Risk Management, which works to reduce accidents, hazards, and risk exposure by: • Assigning various safety responsibilities throughout the campus • Inspecting and maintaining facility building safety systems • Conducting safety meetings and sending brief health and safety publications to campus personnel to increase awareness and remedy unsafe conditions • Providing safety training to educate people on all issues related to safety • Maintaining the All Hazards Plan for emergency management operations

Campus Emergency Notification System All students are encouraged to register and update their cell phone number with the University’s Emergency Notification System (ENS).
