The Indiana University Police Department is committed to being as transparent as possible with our community. Because of that commitment, we’ve chosen to make our department policies available to the public. Some of the policies may have redactions due to operational security reasons. This policy page will be updated quarterly. Please note, this means some policies will show review dates past due.
Some of the policies made available on this page are in transition due to reviews to meet national accreditation with the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators. This process provides additional accountability, competency and assurance to meet national best practices in our operations. During the accreditation process, polices will be reviewed and modified. This page will change frequently during the duration of preparing for outside auditors. Policies that are required per accreditation standards not listed on this site are in development or under administrative review.
The IUPD policy group meets every two weeks to continually review policies and procedures.
