University Police Department

Maintaining a safe, secure setting for all

The University Police Department (UPD) is responsible for law enforcement, security, disaster planning and emergency response at FGCU. We work with the entire university community to provide a safe and secure environment that enables everyone to achieve their academic goals and enjoy the FGCU experience.

In addition to promoting crime prevention, we ensure safety for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic and assist in coordinating special events. We provide reliable high-quality professional service at all times.

UPD is headquartered in the north end of the Campus Support Complex on the southwestern side of the campus loop, FGCU Boulevard South.

DATE:            October 15, 2019

SUBJECT:     Internet & Dating App Safety

Over the last year, and as recently as this month, UPD has seen an increase in internet harassment, sextortion and incidents as serious as sexual assaults from meeting thru “dating” apps used for hook-ups.

A variety of safety recommendations or tips can be found on-line but generally involve:
- Don’t provide too much personal information
- Check out the other person on social media
- Meet in a public place
- Tell a friend of your plan or have a friend present (bystander intervention)
- Don’t send nudes
- Don’t trust links
Regardless of how people meet, the same rules apply: no mean no, and consent is required.

UPD, Title IX, and Prevention and Wellness have a “Safety & The Internet” presentation next Tuesday at 6:30pm in Cohen #213.

Our efforts are to keep you informed so you can stay alert and stay safe on campus and on the internet.
