University Police Department

The Xavier University Police Department’s mission focuses on providing a safe and secure learning, living and working environment for Xavier University's students, faculty, staff, and visitors. This is accomplished through partnerships within the multidisciplinary community, and working in conjunction with traditional law enforcement for the development of progressive, community-based crime prevention strategies and initiatives. All members of the Xavier University Police Department (XUPD) will provide the highest levels of integrity, professionalism, and customer service in support of Xavier University’s mission to educate future leaders who will go on to create a more just and humane society. 

Blue Light Safety Poles 

As part of the Xavier University Police Department's continuing efforts to improve campus safety, the Code Blue Emergency System is placed in strategic locations around campus. This system uses call towers located in various parts of the campus and is activated by pushing the red button located on the front of the tower and speaking normally. When activated, the towers call the Xavier University Police Department via a telephone line dedicated to the system. Additionally, when activated, the system allows the Xavier University dispatcher visual surveillance of the tower and the immediate surrounding area.
