In partnership with Nottinghamshire Police we now have a dedicated University Police team.

Safe Place
In partnership with the Students’ Union, we have launched a Safe Place at our City, Clifton and Brackenhurst campuses to supplement the University’s Campus Safety initiative.
Each space is open from 9pm – 9am everyday.
You may want to use the space for a variety of reasons, including waiting for friend or taxi, if you are being followed, to calm down if you’re feeling anxious and to leave a situation if you feel uncomfortable.
Reporting a crime
If you are personally the victim of a crime whilst on university property and you do not believe that the perpetrator is still present, then you should either:
- Report the matter to the police and then to the Security Control room quoting the incident reference number given to you, or;
- Contact the Security Control room first, depending on the circumstances the Security Control room officer may ask you to contact the police yourself, as the police can be reluctant to accept third party complaints.
If you believe that the perpetrator is still present then you should contact the Security Control room, who will take appropriate action and call the Police and arrange for them to see you.
If you are the victim of crime off-campus and the incident affects the University i.e. NTU property has been stolen, then please report the matter to the Police and contact the Security Control room with the details and the police incident number.
If you are aware of any criminal incident in which the University is the victim, then please contact the Security Control room with full details.
If due to any criminal act, you believe that the health and safety of any person is at risk, please ring 999 and then alert the Security Control room.
Police Contact Details:
- Telephone: 999 for emergencies
- Telephone: 101 for non-emergencies and request Nottinghamshire Police.

It is the responsibility of each Student to read the policy and adhere to the Student Code of Behaviour.

Lost and found
Found property
If you have found lost property, please hand it into the nearest staffed Reception or directly to the nearest Security Control room.
Lost property
Should you lose any property:
- Retrace your steps.
- Check with the Reception of the building where you think it may have been lost.
- Contact the Security Control room to see if it has been handed in.
Please note that it may take longer than 24 hours for found property to be moved from Reception to the Security Control room.
Found property is normally kept for a period of one month after which it may be disposed of (unless the property poses a health hazard or is a perishable item, in which case, will be disposed of as soon as received).
Valuables or high value cash may be handed over to the Police, at the discretion of the Security Officer in charge.
