Our mission is to promote a healthy and safe environment by providing quality services to the campus community.<br />
Police, Parking & Transportation<br />
‣ The UW-<strong>Stout</strong> Police Department is a fully certified law enforcement agency that provides 24/7/365 uniformed patrol coverage <strong>of</strong><br />
the campus. The members <strong>of</strong> the department are dedicated to community policing concepts to assist all people in the university<br />
community to maintain safety, security and resources for crime prevention.<br />
‣ The Campus Safety Report (known as the "Clery Act" report) is compiled annually and includes information on campus policies,<br />
guidelines, and crime statistics. The report is available at: http://www.uwstout.edu/hs/upload/<strong>2011</strong>-Clery-report.pdf<br />
‣ The Parking & Transportation <strong>of</strong>fice serves students and employees alike by providing a wide variety <strong>of</strong> parking options, as well as<br />
services for local transportation around campus. Currently, there are over 3,000 parking spaces, with nearly 1,700 <strong>of</strong> these parking<br />
spaces dedicated to student resident parking. For faculty and staff, pricing options are available for reserved-, or commuter- parking<br />
permits.<br />
‣ In <strong>2011</strong>, Parking & Transportation teamed up with the <strong>Stout</strong> Student Association to start a new shuttle bus service on campus. The<br />
shuttle runs from September through mid-May, and serves students. See http://ssa.uwstout.edu/bus.asp for a listing and map <strong>of</strong><br />
routes and times.<br />
Safety & Risk Management Services<br />
‣ Safety & Risk Management Department (S&RM) is dedicated to making the campus a safer place at which to learn and work. The<br />
department also works to minimize risks to the university. The department manages insurance coverage for property loss or<br />
damage, general liability issues, and with UW System, employee workers compensation. The value <strong>of</strong> our facilities and contents on<br />
the UW-<strong>Stout</strong> campus is currently over $403 million.<br />
‣ S&RM manages over 500 new drivers’ authorizations annually. These are required state forms that allow staff and students with<br />
good driving records to travel on university business and to use university vehicles.<br />
‣ S&RM conducts safety training sessions (for both staff and students) on many different subjects, including asbestos, biosafety,<br />
bloodborne pathogens, chemical hygiene, ergonomics, hazardous waste, lifting safety, personal protective equipment and more. In<br />
