The function of the Crime Prevention and Community Outreach Unit is the proactive
identification of crime, staff and students needs, and developing
crime prevention and safety programs to reduce identified or
anticipated crime trends. This is accomplished through educating and
encouraging the Radford University community to participate in a
partnership approach to crime prevention. The Crime Prevention Unit
also provides information, assistance and support to the Operations and
Services divisions in their daily duties
to reduce crime. Each officer at the Radford
University Police Department participates in crime prevention during
their daily tours of duty.
