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.
