At The University of Texas at Austin, UTPD is committed to serving the campus community through a community policing approach rooted in trust, visibility, and collaboration. Our goal is to build meaningful relationships with students, faculty, staff, and visitors while maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all.
Our officers are actively engaged across campus, connecting with community members, supporting university initiatives, and working in partnership with campus departments and local agencies to address safety concerns. These partnerships strengthen our ability to respond effectively and provide resources that support the well-being of the UT Austin community.
We prioritize being approachable, responsive, and present in the spaces where our community lives, learns, and works. Through consistent engagement and open communication, we strive to foster trust and ensure that every member of the UT Austin community feels seen, heard, and supported.
We believe that safety is a shared responsibility. By working together with our campus community and partners, we aim to create a campus environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered.
