About University Police

Humboldt State University's Police Department provides a safe and secure environment for the Humboldt State community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The professionally trained staff protects life and property. It oversees crime prevention, multi-hazard emergency planning, general security, and parking administration and enforcement. Its duties also include criminal and traffic investigation, law enforcement, escorts of valuables and equipment, reporting of safety hazards, assistance to motorists, and assistance to other law enforcement and social service agencies.

Emergency Contact Information

The University Police Department serves as an emergency contact point for many situations and as such, from time to time, it becomes necessary for us to contact faculty and staff at home. Such situations include various safety issues, including workplace violence and threats toward faculty and staff. These situations are fortunately few, but sometimes critical, so we ask that you keep us updated with telephone numbers for emergency use. For more information, download and fill out our Emergency Contact Information Form.
