Operation
Bookstamp
The objective of this program is to serve as a theft deterrent. Students
bring their books to the police department to get stamped with an official
police stamp. The stamp will provide space for the student to write their
name, signature, driver license # and a colored sticker will be placed
on the outside cover of the book. The text book will be registered into
a database system, so it can be identified if lost or stolen.
Blue
Lights
Emergency Blue Lights are located in all the parking lots on campus and
placed
throughout the walkway areas. The purpose of the blue lights is to
give you direct
contact with the UWF police communications center.
To operate the blue light open the box on the pole
and press the red button on
the inside and you will be in immediate contact
with the dispatcher. Each time a
blue light is activated an officer will
be sent to investigate. If you do not have
time to open the box and push
the button, strike the side of the pole and this
will activate the tamper
alarm. The alarm will tell the dispatcher what blue light
has been activated
and where it is located and an officer will respond.
