Timely Warnings Policy

In the event that a situation arises on or off campus that the Chief of the University of Northern Colorado Police, in consultation with the General Counsel, determines is an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus wide “timely warning” may be issued through the UNC e-mail system to active @unco.edu addresses.  The warning also may be posted on the UNC Police website at http://www.unco.edu/police/timely warnings, distributed through UNC Today email communications and available at the UNC Today website at http://www.unco.edu/news.

Depending on the particular circumstances of the crime, especially in situations that pose an immediate or on-going threat to the community and individuals, a copy of the notice may be posted in each residence hall, on-campus building, and fraternity and sorority houses. 

Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to the University Police office, by phone (970) 351-2245 or 1-2245 or in person at the Police headquarters in Gray Hall.
