The Residential Officer Unit provides community oriented policing to the residents that live on campus. The Residential Officer philosophy is to make the residents and staff know that the officers are their direct link to the University Police. The residents come to know them not just as police officers, but also as friends. The Residential Officers make themselves very visible and accessible to the residents and staff. Doing this encourages residents and staff to come to the Residential Officers on their own terms to voice a problem or concern.
Concerns can range from criminal matters to housing complaints.
They also conduct several different types of programs for the residents.
