1 University of Wisconsin-Platteville Police Department Annual Report Brigham Hall Fax: University Plaza Platteville WI Office Hours Monday-Friday 7:30am-11:00am & Noon-4:00pm excluding Holidays

2 UNIVERSITY POLICE MISSION The mission of the University Police is to provide for the safety and security of all persons who come in contact with the University, its facilities and services. In order to accomplish this mission, the role of the University Police is a broader, service orientated department when compared to counterparts in municipal, county and other state law enforcement agencies that focus primarily on law enforcement functions. The 2002 Annual Report provides a brief overview of the types of calls and services provided by the staff of the University Police, which include law enforcement, service and security functions for the University Community. HISTORY The University of Wisconsin- Platteville Police Department began as a security department in 1963 with two "watchmen" hired to conduct security checks and keep a watchful eye on the students. Supervision of the Department was provided by the Physical Plant Director. The University Police Department did not formally become a police department until 1971 when security officers were granted police/arrest powers. In 1972 the Department was moved from the Physical Plant, and began to report to the Assistant Chancellor for Business Affairs. The name formally changed to University Police in DEPARTMENT STAFF The University Police Department consists of a Director and 5 full-time police officers who are certified by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Bureau of Training and Standards; a full-time program assistant; and two part-time parking employees. Even though the University Police Office is not staffed twenty four hours a day, there is always a police officer on duty with dispatching services provided by the City of Platteville Police Department.

11 PROPERTY STOLEN/RECOVERED The information contained in the 2002 University Police Report is complied from the reports received by the University Police regarding crimes and complaints that occurred on university property. This report does not contain statistics from other university departments, nor the Platteville Police Department. Property crimes, including vandalism, thefts and burglaries, continue to be the prevalent problem at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. The University Police Department's current software for Uniform Crime Reporting does not track the monetary loss incurred by vandalism, but it does track the estimated monetary values to each reported theft or burglary. Property values are provided by the victim, and are normally based on the estimation of the property value at the time of the theft. Recovery rate of stolen property has traditionally been low for college campuses due to the transient nature of the college community, in addition to the mobility of today's society in general.
