University of Arizona's Police Department is taking steps to make campus safer for students.
For the first time, UAPD released photos Tuesday of people who are banned from a specific area on campus to the entire university.
Nearly 40 people are on thelist. The website shows the name of the person, what area on campus they are banned from and how long they are banned.
The department decided to post the information online because of popularity with social media on campus.
"I hope this opens it up so we can have a better communication with the students and faculty and staff on campus too because really even though we do have officers out 24 hours a day this provides us more eyes and ears that can say wait a minute I remember seeing that person," said Sergeant Cindy Spasoff with UAPD. "We are hoping for more help and more people to call if they see something suspicious."
Some students say they are happy to have this extra resource.
"I think the intention of trying to bring notice and let people know who should and should not be here is also hard because it is a public university and so there is no gate like people can just walk in but I think it is important to know the people to look after," said Mara Serbera, a U of A student.
UAPD says the people who make the list either violated a campus policy or conducted criminal activity on campus and a person can be banned anywhere from six months to a year.
