Axe ’Em, Jacks!
Keeping Lumberjacks safe
Safety is your number one concern and our number one priority.
The University of Texas System Police Department at SFA has a comprehensive emergency operations plan that prepares us to handle virtually any campus emergency, from isolated incidents to full-scale natural disasters.
We do more than keep a watchful eye — we work hard to update resources and offer services that protect our campus community.
How to stay safe on campus
We have a variety of services and programs in place to help keep all Lumberjacks safe:
- Automated electronic defibrillators (AEDs)
- Crime prevention tips
- Emergency call boxes
- Police escorts
- Safety and crime prevention programs
- Vehicle assists (lockouts/jump-starts)
- Emergency procedures for severe weather, environmental hazard or other imminent thread to campus safety
- Emergency notification systems to alert campus
Calling 911
In the event of an emergency, you should call 911. If you dial 911 from any campus phone, you will be connected to the UTS-SFA police department. If you wish to reach the Nacogdoches Police Department, dial 911 from your cell phone.
Eyewitness Text Tips
In an effort to provide a way to make anonymous crime tips, The University of Texas System Police Department at SFA offers the Eyewitness Text Tip.
This allows anyone with information about a crime in progress or a crime that has already been reported to provide anonymous information to the campus police. To operate, save the number "67283" in your cell phone, begin the text message with "SFASUTIP" and a space, and then your message. You will receive a confirmation text back that your tip was received.
If it is an emergency or you need immediate assistance, dial 911 from any campus phone or 936.468.9111 to report the emergency to the campus police.
