Police
Welcome to the University Park Police Department
We are a dedicated team of experienced law enforcement professionals committed to providing proactive, fair, and impartial police service. Our mission is to employ the principles of community policing, respect for all people, and reverence for the law to ensure a safe and enjoyable quality of life for the citizens and visitors of the Town of University Park.
Community policing is at the core of our approach. We actively engage with residents, building strong partnerships and fostering trust to collaboratively address public safety concerns. By working together, we can create a cooperative environment where everyone feels valued and heard.
We believe that police should maintain a relationship with the public that reflects the historic tradition: the police are the public, and the public are the police; the police are the only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties incumbent on every citizen in the interest of community welfare (Peel, 1829).
The University Park Police Department provides 24-hour proactive patrol with the primary objective of ensuring the general well-being and safety of all members of our community.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the University Park Police Department. We are proud to serve our community and look forward to continuing our tradition of excellence in law enforcement and public safety services. We hope you will review the pages of our website to learn more about the Department and the Town of University Park.
