Crime Prevention Unit

As part of the FIU community, it is important that your time on campus is both safe and productive. To accomplish this, the FIU Police Department believes your personal safety to be a major step in preventing crime. Both the university community and the FIU Police Department members need to work together to maintain a safe and secure campus. Apart from the 24-hour police service, the FIU Police Department offers its community, as well as supports, the following services and programs:

As part of preventing crime, Florida International University has Blue Light emergency phones located throughout the campuses. Telephones are also located in every elevator, in the parking lots, and inside the parking garage for anyone needing assistance. All of these phones offer a direct link to the FIU Police Department. The exact location of the phone is displayed on the FIU Police switchboard, and an officer can be immediately dispatched to that site.

The FIU Police Department is also accessible in an emergency by dialing 5911 from any campus phone, except pay phones.
