Crime Reporting for Main Campus

The University encourages students, employees, community members, and guests of Main, North Farm, and South Farm Campuses to report all crimes, emergencies, and public safety-related incidents accurately and promptly to UKPD when the victim of a crime elects to, or is unable to, make such a report.  Crimes should be reported to UKPD for purposes of assessing the crime for distributing a potential timely warning notice and for disclosure in the annual crime statistics.

Contact UKPD by:

  • Dialing 911 from any campus phone to report an emergency.
  • Dialing (859) 257-8573 to report non-emergencies.
  • Dialing #UKPD (#8573) from any mobile phone to make direct contact with UKPD. (Note: Dialing 911 from a cellular phone will connect you to the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Division of 911).
  • Using the SafeZone App.  Downloading this app onto a smartphone allows individuals to text information directly, in real-time, to UKPD Communications.
  • Reporting in person at UKPD Headquarters, 305 Euclid Avenue (Corner of Rose Street and Euclid Avenue).

Further, the University encourages students, employees, community members, and guests of other separate campuses to accurately and promptly report all crimes, emergencies, and public safety-related incidents to the appropriate law enforcement agency identified below when the victim of a crime elects to, or is unable to, make such a report.  UKPD is unable to respond to emergency calls at Little Research Campus, Robinson Forest, West Kentucky Research and Education Center, Paducah Campus, Hazard Campus, Bowling Green Campus, Northern Kentucky Campus at Highland Heights, and Northern Kentucky Campus at Edgewood due to geographical restrictions and encourages employees and students to report any immediate threats to the local law enforcement agency listed below for those areas.
