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 located on the north end of the Campus Support Complex on the southwestern side of the campus loop, FGCU Boulevard South.

UPD Online Non-Emergency Police Report

The online citizen police report system allows you to submit a report immediately and print a copy of the police report for free. All reports filed within this system will be reviewed, and if further investigation of your report is needed, you may be contacted for following up or additional details. Only certain crimes and incident are available for online reporting, as they usually do not require an in-person police response.
