Safety
IUPUI employs 20 full-time sworn police officers. The full-time and student police officers are certified as law enforcement officers by the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board and meet the same standards as other law enforcement officers in Indiana. In compliance with the Federal Campus Security Act, IUPUI produces a pamphlet titled “Safety at IUPUI.” It contains information, policies, and statistics regarding safety, security, crime, law enforcement, sexual assault, and drug and alcohol programs at IUPUI. The pamphlet is available on the Web at www.police.iupui.edu/safety.html. Hard copies are available from the IUPUI Police, 1232 W. Michigan Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202; (317) 274-2058.
