ORLANDO, Jan. 24, 2022 -- A team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) will examine all aspects of the University of Central Florida Police Department policies and procedures, management, operations and support services starting March 8, 2022. 

UCFPD Honors Dispatchers During Telecommunications Week

During National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, the UCF Public Safety team would like to highlight two of our dispatch heroes we get the pleasure of working with every day.

Congratulations to UCFPD’s very own Trish Trovillion for THIRTY years with UCFPD!

The UCF Police Department's 2019-2020 Annual Security and Fire Safety Guide (Annual Security Report) is now available for public viewing.

The report, published each year by October 1, includes statistics from the previous three calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the university, and on public property immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.

Another asset has been added to UCF Downtown’s safety team, and she’s got four legs, a strong nose and answers to “Blue.”

Blue is a two-year-old yellow lab and the newest member of UCFPD’s K-9 Unit. She specializes in explosives detection, conducting sweeps of buildings and assisting partner agencies with detection searches.

Blue, who was donated to UCFPD by Diversity K9, is partnered with Ofc. Jerad Engel. Officer Engel is a U.S. Air Force veteran who currently serves in the Air National Guard. He joined UCFPD in September 2015.

Their journeys to law enforcement started very differently - in the halls of UCF, taking 911 calls in Osceola county, on the streets of New York and as a security officer inside a county jail - but their paths all crossed when they were officially introduced as the newest class of officers at the UCF Police Department.

Family, friends and UCF Police officers and staff welcomed the six new officers to the department at a swearing-in ceremony Wednesday.

ORLANDO, Jan. 15, 2019 – Before a team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement arrives at UCFPD in March, agency members and the general public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team.

*UCF Alert* Health & Public Affairs II has been cleared and reopened by police and fire rescue. All campus operations are normal.

*UCF Alert* The Health and Public Affairs II building is being evacuated due to smoke coming from a room. UCFPD and Orange County Fire Rescue are responding. Please avoid the area until an all clear is given. All other campus operations are normal.

To provide more safety for the UCF community, UCFPD this semester is launching a new Knight Ride shuttle program with support from the Student Government Association.

Knight Ride, previously known as SEPS (Safe Escort Patrol Service), now features a van that will circle campus, making stops at eight locations from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. every night classes are in session, with extended hours around exam periods.
