Police
Services
The St. Edward's University Police Department is a service-oriented
organization that responds to the needs of the university
community. The department provides 24-hour-a-day patrol
coverage for the campus and all facilities, including administrative,
athletic and academic buildings, residence halls, the apartment
complex, athletic fields and parking lots.
The University Police Department employs 14 commissioned police officers that include the Chief, a lieutenant, three sergeants and nine officers. All of our
police officers are licensed by the State of Texas and commissioned
by the university in accordance with the Texas Education
Code. These officers are vested with full law enforcement
powers and responsibilities identical to those law enforcement
agencies within the state of Texas. Our Department works
closely with the Austin Police Department and other local
law enforcement agencies to promote a safe environment for
the campus community.
The University Police Officers are responsible for a full
range of police services, including enforcement of laws
regulating underage drinking, the use of controlled substances
and possession of weapons; investigation of incidents/offenses,
and motor vehicle accidents; crime reports, assisting with
medical and fire emergencies, and all other matters requiring
law enforcement assistance.
Potential criminal actions, suspicious activity or persons
and on campus emergencies can be reported directly by any
student, faculty or staff member. The University Police
Office or the on duty officer may be reached at any time
by dialing 448-8444 or campus extension 8444. There are
several emergency call boxes on campus that ring directly
to the University Police Office. The department has a radio/telephone
interconnect system that provides direct contact with the
on-duty officer when the office is closed. The on-duty officer
also carries a cellular phone for backup communications. Students and faculty and staff members who are victims of or learn about major crime on campus — such as a hate crime, a sexual assault or a crime involving alcohol, drugs or weapon violations — can also use the university’s confidential crime incident report form to alert UPD that the crime has occurred.
Office hours: seven days a week, 8 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Holy Cross Hall, room G2
If you are coming from off campus, you may want to call
the office for possible closure due to an unforeseen event.
