Community Affairs Unit

The members of the University Police are committed to community policing and are actively involved in campus activities. The goal of the Community Affairs Unit, recipient of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) Award, is to educate the campus community on such topics as personal safety, risk awareness, crime prevention (including date and acquaintance rape prevention), drug and alcohol risk awareness, and many other community safety issues. The unit's members accomplish their mission through formal and informal talks, new student orientation programs, and the creation and distribution of pamphlets and posters across the campus. The unit engraves state and personal property (including bicycles) as part of the Operation ID program.

The commander of the unit is Assistant Chief Douglas F. Little and is staffed by Lieutenant Bruce Redden, Officer Philip Morales, Officer Peter Thomson, Officer Vito Colella, Officer Jeffrey Watson, and Officer Patrick Bazemore.

Side Notes
