The University of Arizona Police Department is our campus law enforcement agency. UAPD officers are regularly in public and non-public areas of campus as part of their work to keep our campus safe.
Additionally, university employees are expected to cooperate when they are contacted by non-university law enforcement officials and should:
- Inform the official that you are contacting the University of Arizona Police Department to address their request and that you are not obstructing their process.
- Ask them to wait for a UAPD officer or direct them to the UAPD office located at 1852 East First Street, Tucson, AZ, 85721.
- Contact UAPD at 520-621-8273.
- Do not physically block or interfere with non-university law enforcement officials' entry or actions.
If any employee in any university unit receives a university-related warrant, subpoena or judicial order, or is contacted by law enforcement to access university records or university property, in addition to contacting UAPD, that employee should also contact the Office of the General Counsel. They will advise the university regarding its response, which is dependent upon the circumstances and context of the situation.
Office of the General Counsel contact information:
- Email: OGC-Info@arizona.edu
- Telephone: 520-621-3175
