If a law enforcement official has business on campus, UAB faculty and staff — as public employees — should follow instructions of any local, state or federal law enforcement official.

• If a member of law enforcement shows a UAB employee a badge/identification — anywhere on campus, whether indoors or outside and whether OneCard access is required to be in the space or not - employees should follow law enforcement instructions and not impede activity.

• If the law enforcement official does not have a badge/identification visible, UAB employees can ask to see a badge/identification.

  • If no identification is provided, employees can contact UAB Police dispatch at 205-934-4434.

• If outside law enforcement officials are on campus, UAB Police and Public Safety and/or the Office of Counsel is likely already aware.

• If an employee wants to confirm, they can call UAB Police dispatch at 205-934-4434 or the Office of Counsel at 205-934-3474. However, employees should not impede law enforcement officials with identification/badge while making a call.
