University Police -- Night Watch (Escort Service)

Equipped with two-way radios, and in constant contact with the Police Dispatcher, two-person teams of escorts will provide assistance to people requesting an escort from one UT building to another, late at night.

The purpose of the Night Watch (Escort Service) is to provide for the safety of anyone walking alone on campus during the evenings.

Although the campus is well lit, those traveling the campus on foot should choose well-used routes. People who feel uncomfortable walking alone on campus during evening hours can utilize the Escort Service that operates weekdays from dusk to midnight when school is in session.

The service is accessible from the Student Union, Carlson Library, the Horton International House, and Nitschke Hall. To request an escort, students should call 530.3024. (On-campus 3024.) An escort will be sent to their location and accompany them to any parking lot or campus building.

Escorts are easily identified by their blue-and-gold jackets. They carry police radios to keep in constant contact with the Police dispatcher. The escorts are cleared through the University Police Department prior to assuming their duties.
