Your safety is important. KU Medical Center police officers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and additional patrol officers are being hired prior to July 1, 2017, to increase their physical presence around campus.

Building concerns should be addressed on a structure-by-structure basis by the units responsible for each building. What is appropriate for one building may not be appropriate or possible for another. Please share your concerns and observations with your supervisor and contact KU Medical Center Police to better understand security measures that may already be in place.

Please take a moment to review personal safety actions you can take to be more aware of and in control of your surroundings. At KU Medical Center, there are a number of services aimed at increasing safety:
