WHO WE ARE... The Utah State University Department of Public Safety was organized in 98 for the safety and protection of the people and property associated with the University. Thirty years later the department has grown to better serve the, plus students, faculty, and staff at USU. The USU Police Department has compiled this annual report in an effort to help faculty, staff, and students better understand crime and its impact on the campus community. While studying the information keep in mind that no crime statistics are completely accurate simply because not all crimes are reported. The reasons for not reporting crimes are many and vary with each crime, community, and victim. Use caution when comparing Utah State University crime statistics with those of other universities since there may be differences in reporting. Other factors that should be considered when making comparisons are: Density and size of the community population. Climate, including seasonal weather conditions. Effective strength of law enforcement agencies. Attitudes of the public towards crime reporting. Administrative and investigative efficiency of the local law. Cooperation of adjoining and overlapping police agencies. Crimes cleared in the following year. The USU Department of Public Safety includes 5 divisions: Police, Dispatch, Security, Emergency Management, and Fire Marshal. 3

POLICE The Police Division is made up of state-certified full-time police officers. USU Police Officers handle criminal cases within the jurisdiction of Utah State University. Officers also provide free information and services such as personal escorts, key retrieval from locked cars, and jump-starts to name just a few. The USU Police Department is actively involved in community service including the Special Olympics Torch Run, and in teaching safety and crime prevention to the campus community. For more information on the programs we offer, please visit our website at http://www.usu.edu/dps. DISPATCH The Dispatch Division is made up of one full-time dispatch coordinator and six part-time student dispatchers. The Division operates 4-hours a day, 365 days a year. Dispatchers handle all communication and dispatching of officers and also monitor burglary and fire alarms in buildings on and off campus. The dispatch center services an emergency 9 number and several emergency phones located on campus. SECURITY The Security Division is made up of five part-time student employees whose primary responsibility is to make sure each area, room, and building on campus is properly locked and secured along with lights being turned off and windows being closed. These officers have no police powers and report all suspicious activity to police officers who handle all investigations. BOMB SQUAD The Bomb Squad is one of the specialty units within the USU Police Department that has some of the most modern safety equipment available, including a state-of-the-art robot (remote mobile weapons platform for disposing of hazardous devices). In addition to responding to calls throughout Cache County and surrounding areas, the squad provides displays and discussions at schools and community gatherings. For more information please call Captain Steve Milne at 435-797-939. 4

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT The Emergency Management Division was developed to better prepare the campus for any major disaster and to ensure the University is compliant with National Incident Management System (NIMS) standards. The division has two areas of responsibility; the Emergency Response Plan and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). USU currently has more than 3 trained employees and students in disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, disaster psychology, and team organization through the CERT program. This program is available to any individual in the campus community. Anyone interested in the CERT program or to obtain a copy of the Emergency Response Plan may contact the USU Police Department at 435-797- 939. FIRE MARSHAL The Fire Marshal Division is made up of three full-time fire marshals whose primary responsibility is to monitor, maintain, and evaluate the fire protection services on campus. They also ensure that the University meets and complies with all state fire codes and regulations and make regular reports to the State of Utah Fire Marshal, University Risk Manager, and offending departments. They perform regular inspections of all campus facilities to detect any possible fire hazards in an effort to reduce the loss of University equipment and property. The inspections conducted by the Fire Marshal s Office also reduce the insurance obligation of the University. 5
