To: University of Arizona Community
The University of Arizona Police Department will has begun using mounted digital cameras on marked department motorcycles and cares. UAPD is the first law enforcement agency in Southern Arizona to utilize "CycleVision" motorcycle mounted digital video cameras.
Digital Video Cameras have become a useful tool in Public Safety. CycleVision will enable motorcycle patrols to record the same video and audio evidence that patrol care capture. This enables the officer to visually and audibly record contacts with the public. Additionally, it can show that the officer's work complies with department policies and procedures and accepted best practices for law enforcement action. The video evidence also serves to document the accuracy of details surrounding an incident.
The purchase of video equipment for four motorcycles was made possible through a grant awarded by the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety.

Abduction near campus
A Message to students from the UAPD
A female University of Arizona student reported that she was recently taken against her will by three males in a white van while walking at night on Campbell Avenue adjacent to campus. She further reported that she was released unharmed a short time later in the vicinity from which she was originally taken. She described the occupants of the van as two white males and one Hispanic male. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call 9-1-1 or 88-crime.
The University of Arizona Police Department would like to take this opportunity to strongy encourage you to utilize good safety and security practices when in public and at home. Please see the safety tips listed below for ideas on how to improve your personal safety habits and remember to always dial 9-1-1 if you witness suspicious activity or persons in the area.
1. Remain alert and aware of your surroundings and the people in your vicinity at al times.
2. Save important phone calls for a later time. Talking on cell phones or using other electronic devices when walking, biking, or driving are distractions and divert your attention away from your surroundings.
3. At night, travel in well-lighted areas. Utilize Safe Ride, Safe Walk and Night Cat services to avoid walking alone at night.
4. Emergency blue light phones give you direct access to UAPD with the push of a button. Know where they are located at all times.
5. Always keep the windows and doors of your home and garage locked whether you are home or not.
6. Utilize outdoor lighting at your home to eliminate the possibility that a potential intruder could hide in shadowed areas.
7. Keep your telephone close by at all times so that it is easily accessible if you must call for assistance.
8. Never second guess yourself if you think you should call police about a suspicious person or incident. If someone or something gives you a funny feeling or makes you look twice, don't hesitate to report it to police.
