Downtown Madison and the campus area have experienced a string of robberies this fall. Both the city of Madison and the UW Police Department (UWPD) are devoting extensive resources to solving these cases, which may be tied to the same suspects.

A new campus safety Web site provides up-to-date safety and incident information. In addition, UWPD is posting a daily log of on-campus incidents at: www.uwpd.wisc.edu.

Increased accessibility of information is designed to raise awareness about the nature of recent incidents, says UWPD Captain Karen Soley. Awareness can translate into better crime prevention and use of campus resources.

The Offices of the Dean of Students continues to advise the campus community to use SAFE Nighttime Services, walk with friends, carry a cell phone, and to always give up valuables if confronted.

To speak with a police officer about student safety, call UWPD at 608-264-COPS.
