Jurisdiction and Responsibilities

Campus and Property Coverage

CSUPD officers have jurisdiction over all university-owned grounds, including properties and campuses listed on the official CSU map. Their primary focus is on ensuring safety and responding to incidents across:

  • Main Campus
  • South Campus
  • Foothills Campus

Additionally, CSUPD provides coverage for university-owned properties near I-25 and Prospect Road and other CSU properties in Fort Collins.


Expanded Jurisdiction

Beyond CSU campuses, CSUPD officers have jurisdiction in Fort Collins and Larimer County, allowing them to:

  • Assist other agencies on calls throughout the city and county.
  • Participate in joint efforts, such as DUI patrols and other collaborative projects.
  • Respond to incidents or make contacts while en route to other locations.

Community and Interagency Support

While most interactions are centered on CSU campuses, CSUPD actively contributes to broader community safety efforts by:

  • Partnering with local law enforcement agencies.
  • Supporting calls for service in the city and county.
  • Participating in joint patrols and initiatives.
