University Police Officers maintain a high level of visibility on campus, which helps create a strong connection with the community. Linked through our state-of-the-art communication center, our officers patrol campuses 24 hours a day on foot, in cars, and on bicycles.

On foot or on bicycle, officers get an up close view of the people and activities on campus. In police cars, officers can respond quickly to an event on campus in and in the surrounding community.

The University officers work collaboratively with Lincoln Police to prevent and solve problems in the areas around campus. This team work benefits both city and east campuses in providing better coverage during patrol operations.

Bicycle officers increase their campus contacts through their patrols. These officers maintain a friendly accessibility to students and others on campus. And they can move rapidly and with great agility to any area they are needed.

University Police Officers are commissioned as Special Deputy State Sheriff's. Officers are authorized to perform all duties provided by the law, both on and off University property.
