If you have a question concerning a state citation do not ask the officer, please direct all questions towards the Chief of Campus Police .

Weapons

State law and departmental regulation govern the use of weapons by Campus Police Officers. Officers shall use their firearms only to protect their lives or the life of another when there is a clear and immediate danger to life, or to prevent grievous injury to themselves or another when a clear and present danger exists.

If you become aware that a person has a weapon on campus, do not approach them. Notify campus police immediately.
