Shown here are the number of basic services provided to the university community and the general public

During the year, officers checked university buildings a total of 13,513 times. This compares with 14,558 checks from the previous year. During building checks officers will inspect physical security and will also test special purpose telephone lines, such as elevator emergency lines, chemistry lab direct line, "Escort" telephone, blue light phones and others. Each time a building is checked, a card is punches indicating the date and time as well as any problems which may be located. Any problems are reported to the appropriate office by the next business day or earlier as necessary.
 
 

The University Police traffic enforcement zone consists of approximately 4.5 miles of roads (including a segment of State High 110) which travel through and around a 116 acre area comprising the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campus.

Congestion can become high in this area where the potential for accidents involving pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles is high. Although traffic enforcement is not the primary function of this department, it is obviously an important concern for the safety and welfare of the university community as a whole.

The violation of certain traffic laws is considered a crime in the State of Wisconsin. In total, 12 people were cited for such offenses in 1999. These are included in the arrest category comparison page of this report. The following list reflects the uniform traffic citations written by this department and some comparisons with past years.
