Officers are part of the educational process.
They speak on topics such as sexual assault, drugs, crime prevention and traffic safety. They develop and maintain a positive relationship with students, faculty and staff in order to ensure the safety and cooperation of the entire campus community. University Police Officers receive their official powers through the Education Law and the Criminal Procedure law. Officers also can take advantage of statewide promotional opportunities. Whatever the assignment, wherever the opportunity, University Police Officers perform their duties consistent with the educational mission of the campuses they service.
