The University Police Department employs 15 highly trained, full-time, sworn police officers, and an active support staff for 24-hour protection of the campus community. The peace officers of this department have statewide police authority, and are vested with law enforcement powers and responsibilities, identical to the municipal police or sheriff's departments in your community.

The University Police Department is located in the University Police Facility (U.P.), north of the Corporate Yard next to the Facilities Management Building (F.M.) on Fairview Drive.
