Department Overview University police officers exist to prevent, discover, and deter the commission of crime, enforce university rules and regulations, promote personal and property security, and provide traffic law enforcement. They observe and make note of suspicious persons, possible violators, hazardous conditions, or unusual situations. Officers also check buildings, observe public or student gatherings, respond to emergency alarms and dispatched calls, assist in parking activities, perform traffic control duties, render first aid, and issue warnings or citations to drivers. In addition, as police officers commissioned through the State of Missouri, they conduct criminal investigations, prepare court cases, and provide legal testimony in court. They may arrest individuals and take them into custody if situations warrant. Reserve police officers (non-paid police officers) augment the services of the full time officers as back-ups and to help them with the workload during busy shifts or large events. Their only compensation is being commissioned through the state of Missouri, on-the-job police experience and as much training as they would like. They are also considered first for full-time vacancies. Students who are chosen to serve with the Parking Enforcement Program issue administrative parking tickets on campus. They help the UPD with the large task of enforcing university parking rules, freeing up police officers for other duties. They also assist with Lion-backer parking at sports events.
