About LUPD

All administrative buildings and classrooms are secured each evening after normal business hours and after classroom instruction is completed. Entry to administrative instructional classrooms after normal hours requires authorized key access or access granted by the Police Department. Residence hall security is enhanced by having controlled access to all buildings. Residents are able to enter their residence hall by using an entrance key. The buildings are secured 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to allow only residents of the hall, their escorted guests, and authorized personnel to enter. Residence hall keys may not be duplicated, transferred or given to any other individual.

The Lincoln University Police Department is available to present special topics of interest to the residence hall members, commuter students and faculty/staff upon request.

Rape prevention, crime prevention, fire safety, etc., briefings and training sessions are offered on a continuing basis.

Brochures and pamphlets are prepared and distributed on a regular basis. These handouts are free and are made available through the campus mail system, distribution in residence halls and displayed in the Police Department. Crime prevention reminders are posted throughout the campus area encouraging students and others to report crimes.

Lincoln University does not, at this time, recognize any off-campus activities by students. There are no official fraternities or sororities engaged in functions off campus sanctioned by University officials. There are no fraternity or sorority houses recognized by the National Fraternity/Sorority headquarters or the university who occupy local houses off campus. Criminal activity by students off campus is not officially reported to the university on a regular basis. However, when criminal activities do occur off campus and are brought to our attention, University officials will give cooperation and support to local law enforcement officials. Reports of such criminal activity are shared by the two jurisdictions.

The Director of University Relations and the Chief of the Police Department make public announcements regarding crime that occurs on campus in a manner that is timely and that will aid in the prevention of similar occurrences. Such reports may be made over the university radio station FM88.9 KJLU, through the university student paper, "The Clarion", by Crime Alert flyers, or viewed on JCTV Channel 3.

"Our mission is to provide a safe, secure and enjoyable environment to live, study and work within."

Violations of university regulations, state and federal laws should be reported directly to the Police Department. Emergencies can be reported by telephone, (573) 681-5555 or in person. All calls for assistance and reports of criminal activity are prioritized. An officer will respond, take the appropriate action and file reports on all incidents occurring on campus.

Criminal activity that occurs off campus should be immediately reported to:

Jefferson City Police Department: (573) 634-6400 

Cole County Sheriff's Office at: (573) 634-9160

Crimes of violence listed in the Missouri Criminal Code and Federal Codes that are reported to LUPD will be fully investigated. The results of the investigations will be reported to the appropriate bodies within the university, state, or federal government.

Upon the final adjudication of university hearings, victims may request the results of any disciplinary actions taken against an alleged perpetrator through the Vice President for Student Affairs. Section 438 (b) of the General Education Provisions Act, 20 U.S.C. 1232 g(b), does not prohibit the disclosure of information to victims of any crimes of violence.
