As a patrol officer on campus, you need to have all the state-mandated training as other law enforcement officers and be prepared for any situation. But we're not bouncing from call to call for the entire shift. In fact, we have the time to walk around campus and build relationships with the students, faculty, staff and visitors who make our campus special. That's one of the reasons a recent survey shows that the majority of campus constituents support our Police Department and three-quarters feel safe or very safe here.
