Emergency Procedures

Sex Crime Resources

In an effort to keep our students safe, UW Oshkosh has a Safewalk program that provides trained Community Service Officers (CSOs) to safely escort community members on and around campus during the evening and night hours.

The CSOs are trained in defensive tactics, they patrol in pairs and they have a direct link to the Police Department through police radios.

Note: No questions are asked about impairment or intoxication unless the welfare of the requester, the CSOs, or the general public is in question. In instances where information is requested it is simply to ensure that our community members are safe. 

Safewalks are available every evening. If you’re interested in using this service, just give us a call 920-424-1212, or use the app to make a request and we’ll let you know what options we have each night.

General Hours of Operation: 
Sunday – Wednesday 5 p.m. – 2:30 a.m.
Thursday – Saturday 7:30 p.m. – 4:00 a.m.

If you’d rather use our UWO Go Service, you can find information about that here.
