Bike and Property Registration

Students may register their personal property online with the UCF Police Department. Items such as computers, bikes, skateboards, cameras and other valuables can be entered. Why would you want to do this? Theft is the number one crime that affects college students across America. Don’t think it can’t happen to you! If you report theft of your property and you don’t have the information that law enforcement needs to help you, the odds of getting your property back diminish. If you use the online property registration program, it creates a record of your property and its serial number, making it easier to return your items to you if they are found. If your property is stolen, the police can enter the serial number into the national and state databases for stolen property. All law enforcement agencies are now able to retrieve the information so that stolen item may be recovered and returned to you. This program is available 24 hours a day through out the year and just takes minutes to do.
