Our professionally trained staff is guided by integrity, service, and excellence in partnership with our community. Police Officers and Public Safety Officers patrol the campus using fully equipped police cars, bicycles, T-3 electric chariots, and foot patrol. Emergency phones are provided throughout the campus for the public to report emergencies or request information and services. Walking escorts, vehicle unlocks, and jumpstarts are provided on campus by the Department. Crime prevention and awareness programming are also provided to the UTPA community.
The Department participates in the national Law Enforcement Explorers program to offer a worksite career education experience for students interested in pursuing a career in the various criminal justice professions. We are committed to working in partnership with the students, faculty, and staff to provide for a safer community.
Students, Faculty, and Staff are encouraged to subscribe to "Bronc Alerts" to receive information in the event of a campus safety emergency.
