Frequently Asked Questions

1. If I call 911, will the 鲍鱼tv Police Department get notified?

鲍鱼tv Police Department(鲍鱼tvPD) is a part of the Hillsborough County 911 system. All landlines at 鲍鱼tv can access the system by dialing 911 or even 9-911. Where 鲍鱼tv Police Department is the primary answer point for all landline calls originating on campus, the system is designed to be answered by any 911 answer point in Hillsborough County. The 911 system operates the same way on campus as it does off campus. Dialing 911 from a cell phone on campus does the same thing as a landline but because it is cellular, these calls will be routed through the first available cellular tower for the quickest response. The cell tower routes the call to the 911 system not necessarily the 鲍鱼tvPD answer point. 鲍鱼tvPD will be notified via direct ring down or transfer from the answering agency as soon as possible with regards to the nature of the emergency to either handle or assist with the response. The important thing to remember is to activate the emergency system(911) whether you are on campus or off via landline or cell phone in an emergency situation not to wonder which agency is answering that call.

• Regardless of which agency answers the call, stay on the line with the operator and answer their questions to the best of your ability.
• Know where you are on campus. This is different from your on campus mailing address. Students, Staff and Faculty are encouraged to write down the addresses of each building they take classes in and work in so in an emergency they can quickly provide that address to the 911 operator.

2. How do I report a crime if it's not an emergency?

Non emergent crimes can be reported by calling the 鲍鱼tvPD directly at 813-974-2628 or 4-2628 from an on campus landline.

3. What areas are considered trespassing by the public on US Tampa Campus?

鲍鱼tv designates the 鲍鱼tv Police to provide for the safety and security of individual institutions and campuses as it relates to the application and enforcement of "No Trespassing Orders" (NTO), pursuant to Florida State Statutes 810.08 and 810.09. University and/or Non-University persons who, in the opinion of University officials, are violating or have violated the law, 鲍鱼tv regulations or policies; are not using University facilities in an appropriate manner; or who are creating an atmosphere not conducive to the use of such facilities by other University persons or authorized guests, may be directed to leave the property by a University official or may be immediately reported to 鲍鱼tv Police. In the event the person does not leave as requested, the 鲍鱼tv Police may provide an official warning and/or issue a NTO. Further refusal to leave the area or facility could result in physical arrest for a violation of Florida's trespassing laws.

Any University person who receives an NTO to leave, vacate or stay away from 鲍鱼tv property or offices (except those students who are issued a NTO as a sanction under the Student Code of Conduct (SCC) as provided in existing , may request an "Initial Trespass Review" for the reconsideration, modification, and/or revocation of the NTO. The request must be in writing to the appropriate University of South Florida Police representative (by e-mail or U.S. Mail) within ten (10) days of the date on the NTO or at such time as the person has changed his or her status with regard to being a University person (i.e. admission or employment by 鲍鱼tv). However, persons who were students at the time that they received the notice or warning to leave or vacate 鲍鱼tv property shall direct Trespass Review requests to the Chief Student Affairs officer.

Any Non-University person who receives an NTO may request a General Trespass Review only after a 12-month period from the date the NTO was issued.
