The University Police Department is located on the East side of campus,
on Walton Drive and is open 24 hours a day. Police officers patrol the
campus seven days a week, 365 days a year. The primary objective of the
University Police Department is to provide a safe and secure environment
within which students, faculty, and staff can live, learn, and work. The
department is comprised of three divisions -
Community Services
, Investigations,
and Patrol.
The 26 officers who staff these divisions are duly
sworn, certified, armed, and empowered with the same authority as other
local law enforcement officers in the State of North Carolina as regulated
by the North Carolina Department of Justice.
Telecommunicators, program managers and command-level personnel
provide administrative support for the various divisions. The department also employs
2 full-time and approximately 13 part-time security guards who assist community members
by providing escorts and access to other departmental services.
