POLICE

UNC Charlotte provides for its own law enforcement and security services through the Police and Public Safety Department. Police officers are fully certified officers with powers of arrest.

The UNC Charlotte Police can be summoned from any of over 175 campus emergency "blue light" telephones, by dialing 911 from any telephone on the campus, or by calling 704-687-2200. The Police Telecommunicators are authorized to dispatch police, fire, or emergency medical services immediately upon receiving a call for help.

Campus phones and call boxes topped with blue lights give you a direct line to Police and Public Safety assistance. To request assistance, press the button once on blue light call boxes or simply pick up the receiver on blue light telephones.

In addition to traditional police services, the department also provides escorts, motorist assists, entry into closed spaces with proper authorization, and maintains the campus lost and found service.
