Keeping the HSC Communities
Safe
University of Colorado Police Department
The Health Sciences Center (HSC) Police Department has a job to do –
as you do. Our job is to provide for your safety and security in the campus
environment.
HSC police officers receive their authority from the provisions of the Colorado
Revised Statues, Title 24, Article 7, Part 1, and have the authority and obligation
to enforce University rules and regulations, as well as State laws. In addition,
we are able to act as a resource for various safety and security topics.
Recently, much of the University Police Department has relocated to the Fitzsimons
campus. However, full police services are being maintained at both the Ninth
Ave. and Fitzsimons campuses.
In an effort to assist employees and with awareness regarding their personal
safety, the University Police Department will offer safety tips each month,
in the Online Bridge. In addition, the department has a line for your questions,
comments and suggestions, at 303-724-0800. The messages are reviewed by the
Chief of Police on a regular basis.

might prevent something from happening. After all, your safety has to start
with you. These tips may help.
