Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD) responds to several types of non emergency calls. The most common is a motor vehicle lockout. RUPD will assist students, visitors, and faculty/staff with motor vehicle lockouts on the Camden campus as well as the surrounding areas. When you call, please let the telecommunicator know the make and model of the vehicle, location, parking lot #, street address, call back number, and if the vehicle is running or if a child is inside. Call the Rutgers University Police Communications and Dispatch Center at 856-225-6009 for a lockout request.


The RUPD offers jump starts to individuals needing assistance with weak or dead batteries. Persons needing jump starts can contact the Rutgers University Police Communications & Dispatch Center at 856-225-6009.

 

Drivers of vehicles needing jump starts should raise the hood of their vehicle to help identify their vehicle. In order to have your vehicle jump started, a Liability Release Form must be completed and signed by the driver of the vehicle being jump started and by the officer providing assistance.
