All state law enforcement agencies are empowered to investigate violations of state statutes, the state administrative code, and select federal laws and take appropriate enforcement action. The Milwaukee County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Milwaukee Police Department possess concurrent authority to investigate violations of state statutes and selected federal laws on UWM property, but neither is empowered to enforce county or municipal ordinances on state property. UWMPD investigates crimes occurring within its jurisdiction, and local law enforcement agencies investigate crimes occurring in their jurisdictions, although law enforcement agencies will cooperate in any investigation as necessary and permissible.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM does not operate or recognize any student organization\u2019s off-campus facilities, including housing facilities. However, many students live in the neighborhoods surrounding UWM. While the Milwaukee Police Department has primary jurisdiction in all areas immediately surrounding UWM, UWMPD can and does respond to student-related incidents that occur near campus. UWMPD officers have direct communications with the local police, fire department, and ambulance services to facilitate rapid response in any emergency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a UWM student is involved in an off-campus offense, UWMPD may take police action off-campus and within Milwaukee County under the authority of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/document\/statutes\/175.40(5)(d)\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/document\/statutes\/175.40(5)(d)\">Wis. Stat. \u00a7 175.40(5)(d)<\/a> and UWMPD\u2019s policy on jurisdiction. UWMPD officers have the authority to arrest and take into custody any person for whom a federal, state, or municipal arrest warrant has been issued. UWMPD officers may also take action when assisting other law enforcement agencies within Milwaukee County. UWMPD officers also have arrest powers on other campuses and\/or property under the control of the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-118\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Counselors\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional mental health counselors appropriately credentialed and hired by UWM to serve in a counseling role are not considered Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). Reports regarding Clery crimes made to these individuals are not required to be reported for inclusion in the ASR or for a timely warning evaluation. While counselors are exempt from the crime reporting requirements of the Clery Act, counselors often encourage students they are counseling to report crimes to UWMPD as well as seek additional support through the campus victim advocate. Counselors also explain to students that they may report crimes to the DOSO anonymously for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Universities of Wisconsin has contracted with Mantra Telehealth Services to provide additional teletherapy and after-hours crisis support for all UWM students. These resources are staffed by counselors who are not UWM employees. Mantra counselors are not considered CSAs and are not required to report Clery crimes for inclusion in the ASR\/ASFR.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM does not employ pastoral (religious) counselors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-120\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications \u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-what-is-a-timely-warning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a timely warning? <\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM sends timely notice (\u201ctimely warnings\u201d) via UWMPD to the campus community of Clery Act crimes in Clery geography that are reported to a CSA or local police agency and are considered to pose a serious or ongoing threat to students and employees. These warnings may be issued for the following crimes: arson; aggravated assault; criminal homicide; domestic violence; dating violence; robbery; burglary; motor vehicle theft; sexual assault; hate crimes; and stalking. UWM may also issue a timely warning for liquor, drug, and weapon arrests or referrals that may pose a continuing threat to the community.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-when-are-timely-warnings-issued\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When are timely warnings issued?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an incident occurs that, in the judgment of the UWM Police Chief or designee, may constitute a serious or continuing threat to students or employees, the UWM Police Chief or designee will issue a timely warning once the UWM Police Chief or designee reasonably concludes that a timely warning is required under the Clery Act. Timely warnings are issued as soon as the pertinent information is available to the UWM Police Chief or designee. Some information may be withheld from the warning if there is a risk of compromising law enforcement efforts to investigate and\/or solve the crime.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following factors will be considered when determining whether to issue a timely warning:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where the crime occurred (i.e., within Clery geography)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The nature of the crime (serious\/non-serious, violent\/non-violent)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The nature of the threat (general threat versus limited threat to a specific person)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether or not there is a continuing danger to the community or a continuing crime pattern&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A timely warning will typically include the following, unless issuing any of this information would risk compromising law enforcement efforts:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The date and time or timeframe of the incident&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General location&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A brief description of the incident&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information that will promote safety and potentially aid in the prevention of similar crimes (crime prevention or safety tips)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suspect description(s)\/photo(s) when deemed appropriate and if there is sufficient detail&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Police agency contact information&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety tips&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other information as deemed appropriate&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UWM Police Chief or designee also may issue an emergency notification to the campus community regarding a safety threat that does not require a timely warning under the Clery Act.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-how-are-timely-warnings-sent\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are timely warnings sent?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timely warnings are distributed via the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/police\/resources-records\/uwm-emergency-alerts\/\">UWM Emergency Alert Program<\/a>. The UWM Emergency Alert Program generates text messages and emails to persons enrolled in the program. Timely warnings are also posted for 90 days on <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/police\/\">UWMPD\u2019s website<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UWM Emergency Alert Program allows UWMPD to contact faculty, staff, and students via text message to personal mobile phones and\/or designated email addresses. Students, faculty, and staff are automatically registered for UWM Emergency Alert e-mails via their UWM email. Registration of personal mobile phones in the UWM Emergency Alert Program is voluntary for faculty and staff and is used for emergency contact purposes only. Students\u2019 personal mobile phone numbers and email addresses are automatically enrolled in the system if their registered contact information includes a mobile phone number. Individuals may opt out of text messaging. The UWM Emergency Alert Program is not used to distribute advertising or other unsolicited messages, and subscribers pay no fees for the service, other than normal fees charged by their mobile service provider for receiving text messages. The UWM Emergency Alert Program is only available to members of the UWM campus community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information about emergencies may also be shared through UWMPD\u2019s social media accounts, along with UWM\u2019s social media accounts. The detailed information is posted on UWMPD\u2019s website.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-how-can-i-report-incidents\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I report incidents?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone with information about an incident that may warrant a timely warning or emergency notification should contact UWMPD by calling <a href=\"tel:414-22-9911\">414-229-9911<\/a> or going to UWMPD located at 3351 N. Downer Ave.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-what-about-off-campus-incidents\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about off-campus incidents?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For safety threats outside the Clery geography, the UWM Police Chief or designee may consult with the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administrative Affairs, Vice Chancellor for Marketing &amp; Communications, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, and\/or the Office of Legal Affairs Director or their designees to determine whether issuing a UWM Emergency Alert is advisable unless the UWM Police Chief, or designee, determines that there is a sufficiently serious or imminent risk such that consultation is not possible in which case the UWM Police Chief or designee may send a timely warning or emergency notification without such consultation.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-what-is-an-emergency-notification\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an emergency notification?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM is committed to immediately notifying the campus community upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on or near campus. The UWM Police Chief or designee is responsible for issuing emergency notifications.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-when-are-emergency-notifications-issued\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When are emergency notifications issued?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event of a significant emergency that poses an immediate threat to campus, first responders will verify the emergency and notify UWMPD supervisors. In a significant emergency, UWMPD will send a campus-wide message. The message will describe the nature of the event and provide instructions to the campus community to avoid danger and remain safe. This could include avoiding campus or portions of it, leaving campus, or remaining in one\u2019s present location (sheltering in place).<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWMPD will take into account the safety of the community as well as the impact of notification on efforts to assist victim(s)\/survivor(s) or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-how-are-emergency-notifications-sent\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are emergency notifications sent?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An emergency notification most often takes the form of a UWM Emergency Alert email and text message to the campuses or portions of the campuses but may also include any other media designed to get information out quickly, campus-wide, such as by posting physical signs at appropriate locations and\/or distributing information through social media sites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Updates regarding the situation may be sent via UWM Emergency Alerts. Marketing &amp; Communications may also provide follow-up information via campus-wide email accounts and\/or posts on the campus website and\/or social media as information becomes available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-how-do-i-enroll-in-the-uwm-emergency-alert-program\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I enroll in the UWM Emergency Alert Program?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individuals can enroll in the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/police\/resources-records\/uwm-emergency-alerts\/\">UWM Emergency Alert Program on UWMPD\u2019s website<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-what-happens-when-there-is-an-emergency\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens when there is an emergency?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some emergencies could require more than one type of response (e.g., an explosion could result in a fire, which in turn could result in the release of a hazardous chemical) or may escalate from a low-level response to a higher level one. The emergency response team is responsible for determining the type and level of emergency response, and the Chancellor, or designee, is responsible for the overall university response. Marketing &amp; Communications is responsible for conveying this information to the campus community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>More information about UWM\u2019s response to emergencies is located below.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-125\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missing Student Notification<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event a student living in University Housing is reported missing, UWM officials should notify UWMPD immediately, but no longer than 24 hours, after the report that the student is missing. Students living in University Housing may register a confidential contact person to be notified within 24 hours in the event the student is determined to be missing. This is in addition to the option to designate a general emergency contact person and should be registered separately. Confidential contact information is maintained in a confidential file accessible only to authorized campus officials. It may not be disclosed except to law enforcement personnel in furtherance of a missing person investigation. Each student has the option to designate a confidential contact person at any time in the University Housing Office, Sandburg C100, or by <a href=\"mailto:housing@uwm.edu\">emailing housing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For students not living in campus housing, UWMPD will work with the police department with jurisdiction over the investigation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a student is reported to have been missing for more than 24 hours, UWMPD should be notified. Once notified, UWMPD will:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open an investigation\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conduct a risk assessment to determine if there is information to suggest the missing student is in danger or the victim of a criminal act&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assign investigative resources to locate the missing student\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaborate and share information with outside agencies that can aid in the investigation\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM officials will notify UWMPD if the missing person is under 18 and not emancipated. If the missing student is under 18 and not emancipated, UWMPD will notify local law enforcement, custodial parent(s) or guardian, and any additional contact person designated by the student, without delay, once the determination is made that the student is missing. If a student is over 18 or emancipated, UWMPD will notify the emergency contact, if any, and local law enforcement without delay once the determination is made that the student is missing. If local law enforcement was the entity that originally made the determination that the student was missing, there is no need for UWMPD to notify local law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While UWMPD responds, the University Housing Office will take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>University Housing staff will ensure UWMPD has the information they require&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>University Housing staff will direct staff to gather any available information about the student&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>University Housing staff will determine the last time and location the student accessed the residence hall and\/or dining services, if applicable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-127\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency Operations Management and Preparedness<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emergency operations management at UWM is governed by <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/emergency-operations-management\/\">UWM Selected Academic and Administrative Policy 10-14<\/a>, Emergency Operations Management.\u00a0 UWMPD has oversight of and responsibility for the emergency management program, which sets forth plans and procedures for prevention of, mitigation against, preparedness for, response to, and recovery from emergencies resulting from a disaster, or the imminent threat of a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM maintains an Emergency Operations Plan, which is a university-wide plan that establishes procedures and an organizational structure for the University\u2019s response to and recovery from emergencies that may threaten the health and safety of the UWM community or inhibit the University\u2019s ability to continue its mission-critical operations and activities. The Emergency Operations Plan is designed to maximize human safety and preservation of property, minimize danger, restore normal operations of the university, and assure responsive communication to all appropriate parties.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each year, UWM tests the Emergency Operations Plan through an actual event\/incident or a tabletop or functional exercise. Testing may include activating the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and\/or the Crisis Management Team (CMT) and concluding with a debriefing. The EOC serves as the centralized facility in which team members gather, receive assignments, and assume their emergency response roles, and the team is composed of a broad cross-section of campus personnel. The CMT, consisting of the Chancellor and their direct reports, provides executive-level oversight during the response and recovery effort. UWMPD maintains records of these exercises, including a description, the date\/time, and whether the exercise was announced or unannounced.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM also has working relationships with City and County Emergency Management, UW-Madison Emergency Management (on behalf of the Universities of Wisconsin), Wisconsin Emergency Management, and federal partners to ensure the University\u2019s preparedness for a wide variety of emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individual departments also prepare for responding to and recovering from emergencies through continuity of operations planning. Continuity of operations planning is a process that identifies high likelihood and high impact risks to critical functions and develops specific action steps to ensure readiness, response, recovery, and restoration. All continuity of operations plans are periodically tested, reviewed, and updated. UWMPD works with departments in the preparation and maintenance of these plans on an annual basis.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-129\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Response Training, Exercises, and Drills\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM tests emergency response and evacuation procedures twice annually.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-tornado-and-shelter-in-place-drills\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tornado and Shelter-in-Place Drills<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM conducts a tornado drill for all buildings during Tornado Awareness Week in the spring. The drill is organized by US&amp;A in collaboration with UWMPD and the University of Wisconsin System Office of Risk Management.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Procedures for tornado and other \u201cshelter-in-place\u201d responses are announced to the campus community via campus notices, email messages, and website postings. Building chairs and floor captains are offered pre-event training to ensure they can safely direct campus occupants to shelters or other refuge areas. The UWM Emergency Alert Program is also tested during the tornado drill. A text message and email alert are sent to all registered participants announcing the drill.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, the tornado drill was conducted on April 10, 2025, at all campuses. The drill is triggered by a UWM Emergency Alert being sent to all UWM entities, followed by an announcement over the PA system or whistles blown (in buildings without PA systems) for further communication of the drill. Individuals proceed to the Tornado Shelter Area, and floor captains ensure that individuals in their areas participate and know where the shelter area is located. An \u201call clear\u201d UWM Emergency Alert and announcement is communicated when the drill is complete. Floor captains, building chairs, and US&amp;A staff provide feedback on specific drill actions via the tornado drill response form based on their observations. US&amp;A compiles the feedback, determines where corrective action is needed, notifies responsible departments of the need for corrective action, and guides them in correcting any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-fire-drills\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire Drills<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September of each year, campus-wide fire drills are conducted to test building evacuation procedures. In case of a fire, buildings need to be evacuated (opposite of sheltering-in-place) by sending occupants outdoors or to a refuge area. The drills are organized by US&amp;A in collaboration with UWMPD and the University of Wisconsin System Office of Risk Management.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Procedures for the fire drills are announced in advance to the campus community via campus notices, email messages, and website postings. Building chairs and floor captains are offered pre-event training to ensure they can safely direct campus occupants to emergency exits and ways of egress. Drills are conducted for individual buildings. In 2025, university-wide fire drills were conducted during the week of September 15. Fire drills occur at designated times, and the average evacuation time is five (5) minutes per building. The drill consists of the fire alarm being activated and individuals evacuating. Floor captains ensure that individuals in their areas evacuate and know where to go, as well as that evacuees are at the proper distance from the building. US&amp;A makes an \u201call clear\u201d announcement when the drill is complete. As with tornado and shelter-in-place drills, floor captains, building chairs, and US&amp;A staff provide feedback on specific drill actions via a fire drill response form and based on their observations. US&amp;A compiles the feedback, determines where corrective action is needed, and notifies responsible departments of the need for any corrective action. US&amp;A follows up on corrective actions and works with departments to determine the best solutions to any reported issues.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For individuals with mobility limitations, alternative evacuation procedures are in place. These individuals are encouraged to go to the nearest emergency stairwell. These stairwells are considered \u201careas of rescue assistance.\u201d Emergency personnel will arrive at the stairwells and evacuate individuals as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to an emergency, each person with mobility limitations is recommended to ask a friend, colleague, and\/or fellow student to provide assistance if an emergency develops to serve as an \u201cevacuation assistant.\u201d The evacuation assistant should be informed about what limitations an individual has and how the evacuation assistant can be of help. The evacuation assistant will go to the building evacuation assembly point and notify the on-site emergency personnel of the location of the person with a disability. Emergency personnel will determine if further evacuation is necessary. Building chairs and floor captains also check areas of rescue assistance before reporting that a building has been fully evacuated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"aligncenter uwm-c-img--center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/annual-safety-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/832\/2026\/09\/asr-uwm-panther-statue.jpg\" alt=\"A bronze panther statue, UWM's mascot, mid-stride on a stone base with a plaque, set against trees and a brick building.\" class=\"wp-image-985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/annual-safety-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/832\/2026\/09\/asr-uwm-panther-statue.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/annual-safety-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/832\/2026\/09\/asr-uwm-panther-statue-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-on-campus-safety-services-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-Campus Safety Services&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other UWM Safety Services include:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/transportation\/prowlline\/\">Prowl Line<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;Student Union WG25.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>UWM Transportation Services shuttles between the UWM Kenwood Campus, Kenilworth Square Apartments, Cambridge Commons and Riverview Residence Halls for University Housing residents as well as shuttle service from the Capitol and Humboldt UPark lot.

UWMPD officers perform multiple checks of the Kenwood campus facilities each day and note any safety issues that need attention. Any other malfunctions of security equipment should be reported to UWMPD, who will notify the appropriate party for repair. Each year UWMPD also confirms the campus blue light emergency phones are functional. Any malfunctions are reported to University Network Operations for repair.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM also has specific policies related to the safety of minors on campus and to ensure compliance with Wisconsin Executive Order 54, which requires mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect by University staff. These include portions of UWM\u2019s Use of Facilities Policies and Procedures (SAAP) <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/use-of-facilities\/\">Use of Facilities<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/facility-access-and-use-for-guests\/\">Facility Access and Use for Guests<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/child-abuse-and-neglect\/\">Child Abuse and Neglect<\/a>; and <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/minor-protection-and-adult-leadership\/\">UWM\u2019s Minor Protections and Adult Leadership Policy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical security measures and security patrols are augmented by a network of security cameras on campus. Security cameras are located in University Housing facilities, the Student Union, campus buildings, and other common areas. UWMPD also works with those responsible for individual buildings on campus to perform security surveys and make recommendations to improve security.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"uwm-asr-footnotes-list\" start=\"7\"><li id=\"footnote-7\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/18\/07\">UWS 18<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"#footnote-7-link\" class=\"tpa-fn-backlink\" aria-label=\"Back to text\">&#8617;&#xFE0E;<\/a><\/li><li id=\"footnote-8\"><a href=\"http:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/21\/01\">UWS 21<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"#footnote-8-link\" class=\"tpa-fn-backlink\" aria-label=\"Back to text\">&#8617;&#xFE0E;<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-135\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Academic and Administrative Buildings<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM academic and administrative buildings, excluding University Housing facilities, are open to faculty, staff, students, and the general public during normal business hours, with the exception of designated areas that may be limited to students, Facility Services personnel, research personnel, and other appropriate individuals. Most facilities have individual hours, and the hours may vary at different times of the year. Access to these buildings is controlled by either key or card access after normal business hours, and all of these buildings have varying levels of access. Campus and non-campus buildings are secured each night either by UWMPD or by building personnel in accordance with a schedule of closing times set by the building chair of each building and published by Campus Planning twice per year. Security measures in place at UWM buildings vary from building to building and day-to-day in order to accommodate the demands of the academic year. Circumstances such as late office hours, special events, semester breaks, legal holidays, spring break, exam periods, and terms between semesters can cause building schedules to change frequently.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"aligncenter uwm-c-img--center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/annual-safety-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/832\/2026\/07\/asr-uwm-fountain.jpg\" alt=\"A fountain sprays arcs of water into a shallow pool on the UWM campus, with a brick building and trees in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/annual-safety-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/832\/2026\/07\/asr-uwm-fountain.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/annual-safety-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/832\/2026\/07\/asr-uwm-fountain-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every campus building, except for University Housing facilities, has a designated building chair who is responsible for monitoring facilities and equipment, coordinating the placement of security information, determining the placement of bulletin boards, posting all required postings, serving as a liaison to Facility Services, and collaborating with UWMPD to address any safety or security concerns.

No access is provided beyond the common areas without security clearance. Residents and guests must show identification to 24-hour security staff to go beyond common areas into residential areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case of emergencies, the building chair for each building and\/or UWMPD may change access policies and procedures. The extent of such changes will depend upon the type of emergency involved, whether outside law enforcement or emergency service providers are present, and the extent of the emergency. In the case of an emergency in University Housing facilities, evacuation of the building normally occurs for any issue that is not localized. University Housing staff escort first responders to the area of the emergency situation. In the case of a fire alarm or any other major facility evacuation, University Housing staff have the ability to waive normal security clearance procedures until all residents evacuated from the building have reentered. At that point, normal entry procedures are reinstated.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security cameras are located in the facilities and monitored by University Housing staff and UWMPD.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-my-90\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section uwm-l-container--narrow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h2 id=\"tpa-post-141\" class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator\">Informing Students and Employees of Campus Security Policies and Crime Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM uses several methods to inform students and employees of campus security procedures and practices.

These weekly events foster community connection and support a campus environment where students can make healthy choices that reduce unsafe situations related to high\u2011risk drinking.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UWM Athletics also sponsors OneLove, an organization that works with young people across the country to raise awareness about the warning signs of relationship violence through a film-based discussion with a trained facilitator.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<ol class=\"uwm-asr-footnotes-list\" start=\"30\"><li id=\"footnote-30\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-34\/part-668\/section-668.46#p-668.46(j)(2)(iv)\">34 CFR 668.46(j)<\/a> <a href=\"#footnote-30-link\" class=\"tpa-fn-backlink\" aria-label=\"Back to text\">&#8617;&#xFE0E;<\/a><\/li><li id=\"footnote-31\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-34\/part-668\/section-668.46#p-668.46(j)(2)(iv)\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-34\/part-668\/section-668.46#p-668.46(j)(2)(iv)\">34 CFR 668.46(j)<\/a> <a href=\"#footnote-31-link\" class=\"tpa-fn-backlink\" aria-label=\"Back to text\">&#8617;&#xFE0E;<\/a><\/li><li id=\"footnote-32\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/uw-policies\/uw-system-administrative-policies\/mandatory-employee-training-2\/\">UW System Administrative Policy 1293<\/a>. <a href=\"#footnote-32-link\" class=\"tpa-fn-backlink\" aria-label=\"Back to text\">&#8617;&#xFE0E;<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-252\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bystander Intervention Programs and Risk Reduction\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM is committed to providing bystander intervention initiatives. These are promoted and facilitated each semester in collaboration with campus community leaders, socio-cultural centers, and faculty. Through bystander intervention training, employees and students can learn how to engage as proactive bystanders to identify the signs of abuse and respond by using empathic risk reduction techniques.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou Can Help! Prevent Sexual &amp; Relationship Violence\u201d is a voluntary, 90 minute, evidence-informed bystander training. The training identifies a continuum of inappropriate behavior that contributes to a culture of sexual violence and asks that each member of the community commit to intervene in safe, individualized strategies that reflect an appropriate level of intervention for the inappropriate behavior. Facilitated by the Sexual and Relationship Violence Prevention Coordinator in the Student Health and Wellness Center, this training can be coordinated by contacting <a href=\"mailto:uwm-violenceprevention@uwm.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uwm-violenceprevention@uwm.edu<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-my-90\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section uwm-l-container--narrow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h2 id=\"tpa-post-294\" class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator\">Bystander Intervention Tips\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bystander intervention skills give individuals safe and pro-social options that may be carried out by an individual or individuals to prevent harm or intervene when there is a risk of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Bystander intervention includes recognizing situations of potential harm, understanding institutional structures and cultural conditions that facilitate violence, overcoming barriers to intervening, identifying safe and effective intervention options, and acting to safely intervene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friends, campus community members, and peers can serve an important role in reducing acts of all forms of violence. Individuals should always assess their own safety, but options to safely intervene when a situation looks like it may lead to violence may include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using a <strong>Direct<\/strong> approach: Name the problematic behavior and address it in the moment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delegating: <\/strong>If you don\u2019t feel like you can intervene on your own, ask others to help you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creating a Distraction: <\/strong>Sometimes the best way to get someone out of a potentially dangerous situation is to divert attention elsewhere.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Document<\/strong>: Record important information about the incident- who, what, where, when, how.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delay Response:<\/strong> Check in with those affected by the situation to see how they are doing and provide resources.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If any situation becomes volatile or makes you feel unsafe, contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/police\/\">UWM Police<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-299\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk Reduction\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be clear: a victim\/survivor\u2019s decisions and actions never justify their being subjected to harm or violence. These acts always depend on someone else making the choice to cause that harm. However, there are things we can all do to help promote individual and community safety, such as:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have healthy, open, and ongoing conversations with your partner or potential partner about sex and sexual contact. Talk about your boundaries and what behaviors you both feel comfortable and uncomfortable engaging in.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect everyone\u2019s personal boundaries in all situations, including those involving sex. Consent should be clear, knowing, and voluntary. If you\u2019re not certain you\u2019ve obtained consent, stop and check in with your partner.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand that people who are incapacitated by alcohol or drugs cannot give consent. Signs of incapacitation may include\u2014but are not limited to\u2014throwing up, slurring words, stumbling, or not being able to remember conversations.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When going out with friends, plan ahead. Charge your phone before going out and stay in contact with your friends throughout the evening. Create a plan with friends to check in on each other before heading out. If someone doesn\u2019t check in, call or text to make sure they\u2019re okay.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay attention to your gut instincts. If a situation feels uncomfortable, find someone you trust or leave.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact 911 if you have concerns about your safety, or if you believe someone else is in immediate danger.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use and encourage others to have a companion or a safe means of getting home, i.e., a trusted friend, taxi, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about how to apply bystander intervention concepts noted above by participating in the You Can Help!

Trained investigators may investigate sexual harassment and sexual violence allegations under the coordination of the UWM Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator oversees the University\u2019s compliance with Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments. Title IX, as amended, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Covered under Title IX are educational programs and services such as housing, athletics, admissions, financial aid, recruitment, student treatment services, counseling, guidance, discipline, classroom assignments, and grading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone wishing to report an incident of sexual harassment or sexual violence may contact the Title IX Coordinator, regardless of the status of the individuals involved. Any concern or incident can also be reported via the links available at the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/community-empowerment-institutional-inclusivity\/services\/title-ix\/\">Title IX site<\/a>, and staff receiving such a report will refer it to the appropriate office for review and follow-up. Certain UWM employees who receive information regarding an incident or situation involving sexual harassment or sexual violence are required to promptly report the incident to the Title IX Coordinator. Upon receipt of such a report, the Title IX Coordinator will, generally, reach out to the individual who has experienced the concern and provide information about resources and response options. More information about UWM employee reporting requirements can be found in the UWM <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/discriminatory-conduct-and-consensual-relationships\/\">Discriminatory Conduct and Consensual Relationships Policy (SAAP 5-1)<\/a> and the UWM <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/sexual-violence-and-sexual-harassment\/\">Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy (SAAP 5-2)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM provides training and information to many staff members who may respond to and support victims\/survivors, however, healing can look different for everyone. UWM understands that not all victims\/survivors are comfortable reporting or choosing to report incidents to law enforcement or campus administrators. Additional services available to victims of crime occurring both on and off campus are listed in this section, including confidential options that will not result in criminal or university investigation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When reporting sexual misconduct, please note the following:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The preservation of evidence may strengthen investigations, which may result in a better chance of holding the accused responsible or obtaining a restraining order.

These papers are called the petition. The person completing the petition is called the petitioner. The person against whom the petition is filed is called the respondent. Once an individual has filed a TRO petition, the court decides whether or not to issue a TRO based on the information in the petition. If the court grants the TRO, the court will schedule a hearing for the petitioner to return to court within 14 days. This hearing is called an injunction hearing. At that hearing, the petitioner can ask the court to order a final order of protection, which is called an injunction. An injunction can be granted for up to two (2) years for child abuse, and up to four (4) years for domestic abuse, harassment, and individuals at risk. In cases where there is a substantial risk of homicide or sexual abuse to the petitioner by the respondent, the injunction may be granted for up to five (5) years for child abuse, and up to 10 years for domestic abuse, harassment, and individuals at risk<sup>.<\/sup><sup class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#footnote-35\" id=\"footnote-35-link\">35<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A harassment, child abuse, individual at risk, or domestic abuse injunction may be ordered permanently if the court finds the respondent has been convicted of a violation of first-, second-, or third-degree sexual assault against the petitioner.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victims\/survivors sometimes ask if restraining orders are necessary if there is no criminal action pending. ROs do provide protections that are unavailable through the criminal trial process, such as the authority for law enforcement to make an immediate arrest if a violation occurs. Victims\/survivors sometimes also have other questions about how a RO may impact a criminal case or if they can obtain more than one type of RO. Victims\/survivors may want to discuss these complicated questions with the district attorney or with an advocate, so the victim\/survivor can make decisions that will keep them safe. Advocates can assist victims\/survivors with a better understanding of the RO process, developing a safety plan, and providing additional resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For additional information about Restraining Orders in Wisconsin, individuals can contact the UWM Office of Victim Advocacy &amp; Survivor Support, and\/or visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcasa.org\/resources\/areas-of-interest\/systems\/civil-legal-needs-of-survivors\/\">Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault (WCASA)<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.endabusewi.org\/our-work\/legal-services\/\">End Abuse Wisconsin<\/a> resources.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-harassment-restraining-orders-hros-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Harassment Restraining Orders (HROs)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An HRO may be appropriate for some victims\/survivors who experience sexual harassment or sexual violence by someone with whom they have not had an intimate relationship. Grounds include, but are not limited to: striking, shoving, kicking or otherwise subjecting another person to physical contact or attempting or threatening to do the same; engaging in a course of conduct or repeatedly committing acts which harass or intimidate another person and serve no legitimate purpose; engaging in child abuse (see definition below), sexual assault, or stalking. One (1) act of sexual assault can be grounds to obtain this restraining order.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any person harassed, including an adult, a child, the parent, stepparent, legal guardian, or guardian ad litem of a child who was harassed, can file a HRO against any person, child, or adult, who engages in harassment as described above. A few additional individuals can petition in a proceeding brought under <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/statutes\/statutes\/48\/iii\/13\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/statutes\/statutes\/48\/iii\/13\">Wis. Stat. \u00a7 48.13<\/a> (child in need of protection or services).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The respondent can be ordered to cease or avoid the harassment of the petitioner, to avoid the residence of the petitioner (this can be ordered temporarily even when the respondent owns the property), or any combination of these remedies. The HRO can be in effect up to four (4) years. A firearm surrender is not automatic but may be requested by the petitioner of the HRO.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-domestic-abuse-restraining-order-daro-nbsp-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Domestic Abuse Restraining Order (DARO)&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sexual assault is a common form of domestic abuse by intimate partners. Grounds for a DARO include but are not limited to, intentional infliction of physical pain; physical injury or illness; intentional impairment of physical condition; sexual assault (1st \u2013 3rd degree); intentional damage of property; or threats to engage in any of the above.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An adult family member, adult household member, adult former spouse, adult with whom the petitioner has a child in common, adult with whom the petitioner has or had a dating relationship, an adult under a caregiver\u2019s supervision, or a guardian of an individual adjudicated incompetent can file for a DARO. The petitioner must be the victim, except for the guardian of an incompetent individual.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A DARO can be granted against an adult family member, adult household member, adult former spouse, adult with whom the petitioner has a child in common, adult with whom the petitioner has or had a dating relationship, or an adult caregiver.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The respondent can be ordered to refrain from committing acts of domestic abuse against the victim, avoid the victim\u2019s residence or any other location temporarily occupied by the victim (this can be ordered temporarily even when the respondent owns the property), avoid contacting or having others contact the victim, any combination of these remedies, or any other appropriate remedy not inconsistent with the remedies requested in the petition. If a DARO is granted, it must be for the duration requested by the victim but may not exceed four years. If a DARO is granted, firearms surrender is mandatory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-child-abuse-restraining-order-caro-nbsp-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Child Abuse Restraining Order (CARO)&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This restraining order is used when children are abused. Grounds include but are not limited to: sexual assault (1st \u2013 4th degree); sexual assault of a child (1st and 2nd degree); repeated acts of sexual assault; sexual exploitation of a child; permitting, allowing or encouraging a child to engage in child prostitution; causing a child to view or listen to sexual activity; causing child to expose or exposing genitals or pubic area to a child; emotional damage; physical injury; or threats to engage in this conduct.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A victim of child abuse or the parent, stepparent, legal guardian, or guardian ad litem of a victim can file for a CARO.

Stat. \u00a7 48.13<\/a> (child in need of protection or services).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A CARO can be granted against any person, child, or adult who engages in child abuse. A claim of emotional damage can be brought against a parent, guardian, or legal custodian who has neglected, refused, or been unable to ameliorate those symptoms for reasons other than poverty.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A respondent can be ordered to avoid the victim\u2019s residence and avoid contacting or causing any person to contact the victim (with a few narrow exceptions). The injunction can be granted for up to two (2) years or until the child reaches 18, whichever is first. If a CARO is granted, firearms surrender is mandatory. A CARO may also set or restrict visitation rights if the respondent is the parent of the child victim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-enforcing-a-restraining-order-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enforcing a Restraining Order<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the respondent violates the restraining order, call the police immediately. The respondent has just committed a crime. Ask the police to have the district attorney\u2019s office review the case for charges, even if no arrest is made. If the respondent is on probation or parole, give a copy of the restraining order to the parole agent and report any violations. To find out who their probation agent is, call the Department of Corrections Central Records at <a href=\"tel:608-240-3750\">(608) 240-3750<\/a> and provide the person\u2019s name or birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"uwm-asr-footnotes-list\" start=\"35\"><li id=\"footnote-35\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdoj.gov\/Pages\/CrimeVictimServices\/restraining-orders.aspx\">Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Students who have a court-issued restraining order and wish to inform UWM should contact DOSO or UWMPD. Employees who have a court-issued restraining order should notify UWMPD. Please be aware that notification to the University of an existing court-ordered restraining order may require the Title IX Coordinator to evaluate the situation giving rise to the order if prescribed by Title IX.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your restraining order is being violated, regardless of whether you have informed UWMPD, please call 911 immediately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-no-contact-orders-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Contact Orders&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No Contact Orders can be issued by DOSO, and in situations where there are allegations of sexual harassment or sexual violence, the Title IX Coordinator can also issue a No Contact Order. No Contact Orders are issued in writing via a student\u2019s university email, and, when possible, verbally. Recipients of the No Contact Order are informed that future contact with the individual or individuals named in the No Contact Order may be considered harassment and could result in a disciplinary investigation. If the individuals involved are in student organizations, activities, or classes together, the parameters of the No Contact Order will be discussed and additional expectations for minimizing contact may be added to the written correspondence. Students will be provided with an opportunity to ask questions about the terms of the No Contact Order issued to them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-327\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information About Sex Offenders\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement to the campus community about where to find information on registered sex offenders in the state. It also requires sex offenders who are already required to register with the state to notify that state if they are enrolled, carry on a vocation, and\/or are employed in a post-secondary institution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Wisconsin, convicted sex offenders are required to register with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wistaysafe.gov\/\">Sex Offender Registry<\/a> can be used to search for registered individuals. UWM will inform the campus if there is a change in how and where this data may be obtained.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1997, the State of Wisconsin enacted the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law. This law was created to monitor and track people convicted of sex crimes and to provide access to this information for police, victims, and the general public. The official website is designed to enhance public safety by making the information contained in the Sex Offender Registry easily accessible to the public. It also serves to enhance public awareness about sexual violence in our communities and provides valuable information about the ways in which individuals and communities can protect themselves and those they love from acts of sexual violence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wisconsin Department of Corrections supplies information to UWMPD regarding registered sex offenders who are enrolled and\/or employed at UWM. This information can also be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/police\/data-policies\/sex-offender-information\/\">Sex Offender Information<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-329\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">UWM Protective Measures and Resource Notification\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM will provide written notification about options for protective measures to victims\/survivors who report sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and\/or stalking, as well as to respondents, subject to and consistent with regulations relating to the implementation of Title IX, where applicable. UWM may be able to offer a range of appropriate protective measures, including changes to academic, working, transportation, and living situations if requested by the complainant(s) or the respondent(s), and as reasonably available. UWM may also issue a directive ordering the parties to a complaint not to have contact with each other. Protective measures can be ongoing, are not necessarily tied to the outcome of a disciplinary action and will be determined on a case-by-case basis in response to the request and concerns of the victim. The UWM Victim Advocate, DOSO, and\/or UWMPD can assist in developing a safety plan. More information on No Contact Orders is available in the Restraining Orders section of this document.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM will provide written notification to parties to a sexual violence complaint about options for, and assistance in, requesting changes to academic, living, transportation, and working situations or protective measures. This will be provided whether the alleged offense occurred on or off campus. UWM will make such accommodations or provide such protective measures if the victim\/survivor requests them and if they are reasonably available, regardless of whether the victim\/survivor chooses to report the crime to campus police or local law enforcement. This information is also provided to all students and employees in this ASR\/ASFR.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-331\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confidentiality\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM takes confidentiality seriously. UWM will share information with others only on a need-to-know basis, which may include investigators, witnesses, the complainant and respondent, relevant UWM officials, or as required or permitted by law. UWM will maintain as confidential, to the extent permitted by law, any supportive measures provided to the complainant or respondent, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of UWM to provide accommodations or protective measures.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a student and\/or employee victim\/survivor reports to a university office and\/or official who is not explicitly designated as a confidential resource, UWM takes every precaution to protect privacy and confidentiality by sharing information only with university officials who have a legitimate educational or employment interest and\/or those who need to know for the purposes of providing an institutional response. Anyone who has experienced sexual harassment or sexual violence may choose to consult with a licensed mental health care provider or health care provider of their choice. By law, such professionals are able to assist victims confidentially and are exempt from legal obligations to report incidents to the university, with some limited exceptions, such as child abuse, elder abuse, or certain threats of harm. For additional information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/community-empowerment-institutional-inclusivity\/services\/title-ix\/make-a-report\/#h-confidential-resources\">UWM&#8217;s Title IX website<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWM maintains information about sexual misconduct in a secure manner. When a victim\/survivor requests confidentiality or requests that UWM not proceed with an investigation, UWM respects that request to the extent possible, consistent with state and federal legal requirements. In rare circumstances, UWM\u2019s legal obligation to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment may require that UWM proceed with an investigation, which may require investigators to share limited identifying information about a victim\/survivor; however, UWM takes steps to inform a victim\/survivor should it become necessary to do so. In all cases, UWM works with the victim\/survivor to provide resources and support. UWM policy prohibits retaliation against anyone who reports or participates in an investigative or disciplinary process by UWM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For victims\/survivors aged 18 and older who report to non-confidential sources, reports of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and\/or stalking are directed to the Title IX Coordinator, who will share relevant information only with those who need to know, such as Deputy Title IX Coordinators, investigators, and other individuals who are responsible for handling the school\u2019s response to incidents, or as necessary to comply with the Wisconsin Public Records Law, a valid subpoena, a lawful discovery request, or a governmental inquiry or investigation. UWM follows applicable Title IX regulations and guidance and the requirements of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, <a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/view.xhtml?req=(title:20%20section:1232g%20edition:prelim)\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/view.xhtml?req=(title:20%20section:1232g%20edition:prelim)\">20 U.S.C. \u00a7 1232g<\/a>, when evaluating whether to disclose student information. In the case of minors, UWM employees must report child abuse to Child Protective Services or local law enforcement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Clery Act reporting and disclosures, a victim\/survivor\u2019s name or identifying information will never appear in a Timely Warning, on the Daily Crime Log, or in the Annual Security Report. UWM will redact a victim\/survivor\u2019s identifying information when responding to requests for information pursuant to the Wisconsin Public Records Law.

The following policies and procedures of the University of Wisconsin System, and UWM apply to UWM\u2019s response to allegations of such student or employee misconduct. Complaints against students will be processed through Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter UWS 17 (Student Nonacademic Disciplinary Procedures). Complaints against employees will be processed under the UWM <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/discriminatory-conduct-and-consensual-relationships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discriminatory Conduct and Consensual Relationships Policy (SAAP 5-1)<\/a>, the UWM <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/sexual-violence-and-sexual-harassment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy (SAAP 5-2)<\/a>, and the UWM <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/investigation-and-resolution-of-formal-title-ix-complaints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Policy on Investigation and Resolution of Formal Title IX Complaints (SAAP 5-4)<\/a>.

Student employees may be subject to non-academic misconduct charges in addition to any employment-related action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any investigations will be fair and impartial from the outset of the investigation through its conclusion. UWM will complete a sexual misconduct investigation promptly in accordance with federal guidance, although the timeframe for investigation will depend upon the availability of witnesses and evidence, and other factors such as a parallel criminal investigation, school breaks, reasonable requests by either party for an extension, and the complexity of the investigation. All individuals in the investigation and disciplinary hearing process, at a minimum, receive annual training on issues related to sexual misconduct as well as how to conduct an investigation and hearing that protects the safety of parties to the complaint and promotes accountability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all sexual misconduct investigations, UWM uses a preponderance of evidence standard to determine whether an act of sexual violence occurred. A \u201cpreponderance of evidence\u201d means information that would persuade a reasonable person that a proposition is more probably true than not true.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-chapter-uws-17-student-non-academic-misconduct-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chapter UWS 17: Student Non-Academic Misconduct<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sexual misconduct committed by a student may lead to university-imposed disciplinary procedures and sanctions. That process is contained in Chapter UWS 17.<sup class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#footnote-36\" id=\"footnote-36-link\">36<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chapter UWS 17 is a part of the Wisconsin Administrative Code and was adopted by the State of Wisconsin as a set of student disciplinary procedures for the University of Wisconsin System. It defines conduct by students that may result in University discipline and also describes the sanctions which may be imposed and the procedures for carrying out disciplinary actions. Due process for students accused of misconduct is an important part of these procedures.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonacademic misconduct policies cover a broad spectrum of conduct involving students\u2019 behavior, wherever it takes place. A student may be subject to discipline for conduct that is or already has been the subject of criminal action. This means that a student who is given a citation and\/or arrested by law enforcement may also be subject to non-academic misconduct proceedings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sexual misconduct cases are subject to unique procedures as defined in UWS 17.151-17.156. Such disciplinary procedures typically take 90 calendar days following the conclusion of any sexual misconduct investigation, depending upon several factors, including, but not limited to, the availability of witnesses and any hearing committee\/examiner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chapter UWS 17 guarantees the following rights in sexual misconduct cases:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proceedings will be prompt, fair and impartial.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investigations and all relevant proceedings will be conducted by officials who receive, at minimum, annual training on sexual harassment definitions, the scope of UWM\u2019s education programs and activities, how to conduct an investigation and grievance process, how to serve impartially, and how to avoid prejudgment of facts, conflicts of interest and bias.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hearing examiners and committees will also receive training on conducting sexual misconduct hearings, including assessing the relevance of evidence and the relevance of questions, among other topics.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A hearing examiner\u2019s or committee\u2019s finding of misconduct in sexual misconduct cases will be based on a preponderance of the evidence standard.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The complainant will have the same opportunity as the respondent to have others present during a disciplinary proceeding, including the opportunity to be accompanied to any related meeting or proceeding by an advisor or support person of their choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UWM will not limit the choice of an advisor or support person or the presence of such person for either the respondent or the complainant in any meeting or institutional disciplinary proceeding; however, UWM may establish restrictions regarding the extent to which such person may participate in the proceedings that apply equally to both parties.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The complainant and respondent will receive simultaneous notification of:&nbsp;\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether the formal complaint is dismissed and their appeal rights concerning that decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The result of any institutional disciplinary proceeding that arises from an allegation of sexual misconduct.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UWM procedures for the complainant and respondent to appeal the result, if available.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any change to the result through appeal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the result becomes final.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proceedings will be completed with reasonably prompt timeframes and will include a process that allows for extension of the time frames for good cause with written notice to the complainant and respondent of the delay and reason for delay.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The complainant and respondent will be provided timely notice of any meeting at which the respondent or complainant or both may be present.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The complainant and respondent will be provided with a chance to review and comment on all evidence provided to investigators that is directly related to the investigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proceedings will be conducted by officials who do not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against the complainant or respondent.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retaliation against either party for exercising their rights in good faith under these procedures is prohibited and may be subject to disciplinary action.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At no time can either party be required to waive a legally recognized privilege, be prohibited from discussing the allegations under investigation, or be prohibited from gathering or presenting relevant evidence.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chapter UWS 17 provides, in relevant part:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\/ii\/09\">UWS 17.09 Conduct subject to disciplinary action<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\/ii\/11\">UWS 17.11\u202fDisciplinary procedure<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\/ii\/12\">UWS 17.12 Hearing<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\/ii\/13\">UWS 17.13 \u202fAppeal to the chancellor<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\/ii\/14\">UWS 17.14 Discretionary appeal to the Board of Regents<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\/ii\/15\">UWS 17.15 Settlement<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\/iii\/151\">UWS 17.151 Sexual misconduct subject to disciplinary action under ss.

In addition, UWM has&nbsp;various types&nbsp;of at-will employees, including limited appointees, teaching assistants, project assistants, postdoctoral trainees, other employees-in-training, and student employees. All employees may be subject to one or more of the following disciplinary responses to sexual misconduct: written reprimand, unpaid suspension, dismissal, demotion, revocation of responsibilities, reassignment, and retraining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employee discipline is addressed through different processes depending upon whether the conduct allegedly violates Title IX. Sexual misconduct may still constitute misconduct under UWM\u2019s policies and procedures even if it does not constitute a violation of Title IX, as defined by regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Education in May 2020, which apply to conduct that occurs on or after August 14, 2020.

If the chancellor\u2019s proposed decision differs&nbsp;substantially from&nbsp;those recommendations, the chancellor&nbsp;will&nbsp;promptly consult the hearing committee or the hearing examiner and provide the committee or the hearing examiner with a reasonable opportunity for a written response prior to&nbsp;making a decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review of the chancellor\u2019s decision by the Board of Regents depends on the appointment type of the employee. Cases involving faculty member respondents are automatically transmitted to and reviewed by the Board of Regents, while cases involving academic staff members are reviewed by the Board of Regents if the chancellor\u2019s decision is appealed by either of the parties. For cases involving all other employees, review is conducted by the Board of Regents only in cases of dismissal for cause if appealed by the employee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For cases involving faculty members and academic staff members, the&nbsp;Board of Regents reviews the record from the hearing and&nbsp;provides&nbsp;an opportunity for filing exceptions&nbsp;to the chancellor\u2019s decision&nbsp;and for oral arguments unless both parties waive in writing these rights. Within&nbsp;60 days&nbsp;of receipt of the chancellor\u2019s decision, or otherwise as soon as&nbsp;practicable, the board shall simultaneously notify the parties of the board&#8217;s final decision, which shall include the board\u2019s rationale for its decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For cases involving all other employees, the Board of Regents reviews the record and&nbsp;provides an opportunity&nbsp;for both parties&nbsp;to&nbsp;submit&nbsp;a written statement&nbsp;supporting or challenging the outcome.&nbsp;The Board of Regents then issues&nbsp;a written decision describing the result of the review and the rationale for the&nbsp;result and provides&nbsp;that&nbsp;written decision simultaneously to both&nbsp;parties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-employee-nbsp-investigations-nbsp-of-non-title-ix-sexual-misconduct\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employee&nbsp;Investigations&nbsp;of Non-Title IX Sexual Misconduct<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sexual misconduct allegations not falling under Title IX,&nbsp;in which a UWM employee is the alleged respondent will be investigated by&nbsp;EOCR&nbsp;under the procedure outlined&nbsp;in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/discriminatory-conduct-and-consensual-relationships\/\">UWM\u2019s Discriminatory Conduct and Consensual Relationships Policy (SAAP 5-1)<\/a>.&nbsp;Under this policy,&nbsp;EOCR&nbsp;investigates such allegations as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>EOCR&nbsp;will review the complaint to ensure that it&nbsp;contains&nbsp;the information necessary to&nbsp;proceed.

University Housing\u2019s fire safety regulations are intended to prevent injuries to members of the University community and physical damage to facilities. Rooms are inspected periodically, at random, to&nbsp;ensure&nbsp;compliance with University&nbsp;Housing&nbsp;regulations.&nbsp;Due to&nbsp;the seriousness of the regulations that cover fire safety, University Housing takes disciplinary action on the first offense. Such actions may include an educational and\/or a disciplinary sanction (such as housing contract probation, contract termination (eviction from the residence halls), etc.).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If&nbsp;an alarm is activated, the fire alarm will sound,&nbsp;and the strobe lights will flash. Sandburg Halls, Cambridge Commons, Kenilworth Square, and&nbsp;RiverView&nbsp;Halls are each equipped with a public address system, and University Housing staff will provide instructions for the residents to follow in response to a fire alarm. Residents should assume each alarm is genuine and respond according to directions given over the public address system. If the alarm is determined to be a false alarm, an \u201call clear\u201d will be issued over the public address system.&nbsp;In the event of&nbsp;an actual fire emergency, residents will be instructed over the public address system to evacuate the building&nbsp;immediately. During an evacuation, residents must:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Immediately evacuate the building using the nearest stairwell.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a different stairwell if smoke or fumes are coming up the stairwell.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not\u00a0use the elevators. Depending on what activates the fire alarm, the elevators may go to the first floor and remain there.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move as far away as possible from the building\u00a0after exiting to\u00a0allow\u00a0firefighters\u00a0access to\u00a0the building.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">University Housing Staff will make clear announcements when the fire emergency has been&nbsp;resolved and&nbsp;inform residents when it is safe to return to the building.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-278\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elevator Use During Fires<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a fire alarm is sounded, elevators are programmed to go to the first floor of the building and remain locked out of normal service,&nbsp;preventing&nbsp;building occupants from using the elevator during a fire.&nbsp;In the event of&nbsp;a fire or other emergency&nbsp;conditions, the elevator can only be&nbsp;operated&nbsp;by trained firefighters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under no circumstances should anyone, other than a trained and experienced elevator technician,&nbsp;attempt&nbsp;to perform repairs to an elevator or its associated equipment or&nbsp;attempt&nbsp;to rescue any entrapped passenger(s) unless a bona fide emergency, such as a risk to life or a fire, exists.&nbsp;Under certain rare circumstances, when it is believed that a serious life\/safety hazard exists, police or fire department personnel may access elevator shafts or cars using the proper procedures as outlined in ASME A17.4, \u201cEmergency Evacuation of Passengers from Elevators.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most campus elevators are equipped with emergency phones for the purpose of summoning aid for those stranded in a stalled elevator. Please&nbsp;identify&nbsp;yourself and the number from which you are calling.&nbsp;Identify&nbsp;the emergency, including type, location, injuries, and\/or other known details to&nbsp;determine&nbsp;assistance&nbsp;needed. If possible, stay on the line until the dispatcher tells you that you can hang up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tpa-archive-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<h3 id=\"tpa-post-281\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire Preparedness<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn where emergency exits are\u00a0located. All designated exits are clearly marked.\u00a0Review the Emergency Evacuation Floor Plans for your building in advance of an emergency so that you are familiar with alternate routes\u00a0if your normal exit route is blocked by fire or smoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participate in fire drills. Fire drills are conducted to familiarize you with the sound of your&nbsp;building\u2019s&nbsp;fire alarm, the emergency exits which you may not normally use, and the procedures for calling&nbsp;UWMPD.&nbsp;In case of fire evacuate through the nearest, safe stairwell. Do not use elevators.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-if-you-are-disabled\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You Are Disabled<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a wheelchair user, you should learn about fire safety,&nbsp;plan ahead&nbsp;for fire emergencies, and be aware of your own capabilities and limitations. Look for \u201careas of refuge\u201d,&nbsp;like stair enclosures or the other side of corridor fire doors.&nbsp;Most elevators are designed to stop operating when the alarm is sounding and are not safe during a fire.&nbsp;Sometimes it may be safer to stay in your room. If you are hearing-impaired,&nbsp;you should request to be assigned to a room with strobe lights inside the bedroom.

First, most fires are reported through automated smoke&nbsp;detectors&nbsp;or rate-of-rise heat detector systems. Each campus building is served by an advanced automated fire detection system that&nbsp;sounds&nbsp;a local alarm&nbsp;and also&nbsp;sends an alarm to the campus 911 emergency system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system dispatcher notifies the local fire department and sends law enforcement officers to the alarm location for further investigation.&nbsp;Automated sensors are located in rooms and hallways,&nbsp;and also inside building ventilation ductwork.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, fires are reported by&nbsp;the&nbsp;use of manual pull-boxes.&nbsp;The boxes, also connected to the advanced fire detection systems, activate the local alarm and send an alarm to the campus 911 emergency system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third, fires are reported by\u00a0telephone calls\u00a0to the campus 911 system.\u00a0Users should\u00a0dial <a href=\"tel:414-229-9911\">414-229-9911<\/a> to reach the campus 911 dispatcher. The dispatcher contacts the local fire department and sends law enforcement officers to the alarm location for further investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fourth,&nbsp;fires are reported&nbsp;via fire sprinkler flow switches&nbsp;and are&nbsp;integrated within the fire alarm system.&nbsp;Upon activation of a sprinkler head, both a localized alarm and a transmitted signal occur,&nbsp;similar to fire alarm activations by smoke or heat detectors.&nbsp;Students should also report any fire in progress to a resident assistant (assigned by floor) or Housing security staff:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sandburg Security Staff&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><a href=\"tel:14142296123\">414-229-6123&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cambridge Commons Security Staff&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><a href=\"tel:14149356900\">414-935-6900&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RiverView&nbsp;Residence Hall Security Staff&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><a href=\"tel:14142293595\">414-229-3595&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kenilworth Square Apartments Security Staff&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><a href=\"tel:14142290512\">414-229-0512<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per federal law, the University&nbsp;is required to&nbsp;annually&nbsp;disclose&nbsp;statistical data on all fires that occur in on-campus student housing facilities.
