Neighborhood Police Officer Program

The UTA PD Neighborhood Police Officer (NPO) program is a community-oriented policing initiative designed to empower patrol officers to practice community engagement and problem solving within the housing areas of campus.  By forming community partnerships with the residents and staff of on-campus housing these officers can better identify and work to solve problems. 

NPO’s are involved in crime prevention efforts to help increase the safety and security of our students, faculty, and staff.  They provide residents with a direct source of assistance for both law enforcement and non-law enforcement issues.  NPO’s receive additional training in this area and will have increased involvement in their assigned housing areas, events, and activities. 

All members of the community are encouraged to reach out to their Neighborhood Police Officers directly, to discuss problems, strategies, and solutions.
