Law Enforcement Information Concerning Registered Sex Offenders

The Georgia Crime Information Center, a division of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, is required to act as the repository for registration information concerning those persons convicted of a sex crime who reside within the state of Georgia. The Georgia Sex Offender Registry is available online at the Web site listed below:

The same good sense that can help keep your property secure can also help keep you safe. Remember that just being on campus is not sufficient protection — don’t put yourself in a victim’s position.

LOCK UP!

Keep your apartment or residence hall room doors locked regularly, even when you're home, and especially when you're sleeping or showering.

Don't prop open the door to a locked campus building or residence hall.

Close your curtains or blinds after dark.

Keep your car doors locked and the windows up—when the car is parked and when you're driving.

DON'T WALK ALONE AFTER DARK.

Students, faculty, and staff can call the UGA Van Escort Service at 706-542-2000 (or use the Emergency Call Boxes in campus parking lots) for a ride from one campus location to another.

The service operates Sunday through Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Friday 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. during fall and spring semesters, beginning the first day of classes and ending on the last day of finals, including reading days during final exam periods. Escort service is available for campus or Milledge Avenue locations.

When you call, tell the dispatcher your location, your destination, and the size of your group; the dispatcher will put your call on hold to arrange your escort and will then tell you where and when to meet the van. Dispatchers and drivers are police department employees.

Need to go to the library? Find a friend who needs to go too.

If you must work alone in a campus building after dark, be sure a friend knows where you are and when you’ll be home.


In an emergency, use one of the yellow call boxes in campus parking lots.

BE CAUTIOUS AND PREPARED.

Learn locations of the 25 yellow emergency call boxes in campus parking lots.

A brochure about the call boxes, including a map showing all 25 locations, is available from the Police Department by phoning 706-542-0104.

Call boxes provide a direct link to UGA police. No dialing is necessary.
