The Vincennes University campus is protected by a campus police agency consisting of 7 sworn officers, 2 support and 10 part-time personnel. The agency is operated and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Authority of the sworn officers is derived from State Statutes, which allow for full police powers on the Vincennes University campus. The University Police operate under a jurisdictional agreement with the Vincennes City Police which gives the University police officers full powers throughout the City of Vincennes. In addition, we have an excellent working relationship with the Vincennes City Police, Knox County Police and the Indiana State Police. All campus police officers undergo an extensive selection process and meet state mandated training requirements.

The Vincennes University Police offers the following police services:

• Enforcement of Federal, State and Local laws.
• Enforcement of University policies.
• Criminal Investigations.
• Vehicle crash investigations.
• Emergency medical assistance (First Responder).
• Traffic regulations and control.
• Vehicle, Bike, and Foot Patrol of University property.
• Crime prevention and awareness programs.

We believe that all members of the Vincennes University community should feel safe while on campus. Therefore, the Vincennes University Police Department provides escorts for individuals who have legitimate concern about their safety. The Escort Service is provided for your safety while walking on campus. Please call 5555 (on campus phones) and an escort can be summoned to your location and will accompany you to your on-campus destination.

Please contact us for your police service needs. If we are unable to assist you, we will provide you with a referral to an appropriate agency.
