Crime Prevention

Although you cannot prevent another's actions, there are steps you can take to reduce the opportunity of falling victim to a criminal incident. Our compiled safety precautions encourage intentional planning and informed behaviors that will help you avoid risk and minimize the repercussions of a criminal incident.

We also regularly offer crime prevention presentations during the year to University departments and individuals which can be scheduled as the need arises. For information on scheduling a Crime Prevention Presentation, please contact us.

DU Campus Safety

CPTED/Safe Walk

We hold an annual event called a Safe Walk that involves DU Campus Safety and Facilities Management, inviting students to walk the campus as a group and identify elements of the physical campus environment that can be changed or improved upon to increase safety. This event follows the University’s CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) efforts.
