Vision:

The University Police Department will grow with the needs of an expanding metropolitan university. The police department will augment services, not only for commuting students, but for the increasing number of residential students. Through continued documentation, review and planning, the department will be cognizant of the services that are required by the university. Those services will be provided by a well-trained, well-equipped and professional law enforcement department.

Goal:

To increase police for the university community by expanding programs currently offered and adding new services as required.

To increase communication by routinely publishing information on crime prevention and awareness and by providing educational programs to increase the community's knowledge and safety as it relates to police services.

To meet the challenges of maintaining and improving the law enforcement services, which will be needed in a growing metropolitan university, by aggressively seeking, employing and retaining highly qualified law enforcement professionals.

To train all officers, on a continuous basis, to be knowledgeable of the changing laws and procedures that law enforcement officers deal with on a daily basis.

To insure that the make up of the department represents the constituency it serves and is void of any form of discrimination.

To maintain and upgrade communications, alarm and surveillance systems, patrol vehicles and other police equipment needed to effectively provide comprehensive police service.
