Community Policing
We are proud to serve our community through many different programs and projects.
Pack the Patrol Car
The UWF Police Department's way of life is to Serve and Protect. Our Sr. Police Communications Office, Sandra Bermejo, is from the Marianna, FL community that was hit hard by Hurricane Michael, and our community came together to support those impacted through the Pack the Patrol Car program. We will continue to use this program to help support communities in need. We want to give a big thank you to our Argo community for the support.
Coffee with a Cop
We put on the badge to serve and protect our communities professionally and compassionately. Building relationships with students, faculty, staff and community members allows us to do our job most effectively, and it is only possible to do so with open lines of communication and trust. Typically, law enforcement officers and community members interact in crisis situations. Coffee with a Cop allows us to remove barriers between you and our officers in a relaxed environment to promote police-community collaboration.
Guarding Our Campus Is More Than A Duty... It Is Our Privilege. No agenda or speeches, just a chance to chat, ask questions, voice concerns, and get to know the Police on your campus. Pull up a chair and chat over a Cup of Coffee provided by UWFPD.
Coffee with a Cop Events Are Postponed Until Further Notice
On Campus Engagement
We place a strong emphasis on campus-community oriented policing which integrates the idea of crime prevention, problem solving, and community involvement into a comprehensive program. Being involved on campus and getting to know the students through a variety of programs like:
- Pizza with the Police
- Coffee with a Cop
- Popsicles with the Police
- Cookies with the Cops, etc.
These programs allow us to be successful in our goals of being partners in safety, guardians of trust, and servants of the community we protect.
