Layla, one of two K-9s that joined the University Police Department last year, searches for explosives around a car outside of Memorial Stadium prior to the 2017 Red-White spring football scrimmage. The dogs are trained for bomb detection, finding evidence at crime scenes and tracking individuals.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s annual campus security and fire safety report, along with daily crime and fire records, are available for review online.

The report includes the university’s crime and fire statistics for the last three years, as well as a list of resources available to victims of crime.

Free paper copies can be requested from the University Police Department during normal business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, at 300 N. 17th St., or by sending an email to unl.police@unl.edu.

The report includes a list of resources available to victims of crimes; various campus policy statements; links to sex offender registries; tips on how to avoid being a victim of a crime; information on how to report crimes; and details about campus programs on safety, security, drugs/alcohol, disciplinary procedures, fire safety and evacuations. It also contains all of the information required by the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989.

Police encourage the campus community and members of the public to review the report, which includes a wide range of matters of importance related to security and safety on campus.

The university also maintains a daily crime and fire record. Names and specific locations such as residence hall room numbers are not included in the daily record. The log can be viewed online and, in hard copy form, at police headquarters during normal business hours.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has been named one of the 100 safest college communities in the United States. The rankings, based on the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting and the National Center for Education Statistics, are compiled by the National Council for Home Safety and Security.
