 Rape Aggression Defense Program

 program, offering self defense training to female
 students, faculty and staff free of charge. For

                Explorer Program
Students interested in a career in law enforcement, or learning more
   about law enforcement are encouraged to join the UTD Police
   Explorer Post. Participating students may earn up to 6 hours of
   college course credit through the program. Explorers are trained
   in law enforcement scenarios such as misdemeanor traffic stops,
   high risk stops, bomb threat response, arrest search & seizure,
   domestic disturbance, crime scene investigation, accident
   investigation, medical assists, firearms, and robbery/burglary in
   progress. Explorers compete in regional, state, and national
   competitions in scenario events. Additionally, Explorer
   participate in Ride-A-Longs with Officers, are part of the bike
   patrol program, and assist with other community service efforts
   in the Department.
Community Liaison Officer Program
The purpose of the community liaison program is to improve
  communication between the Police Department and the
  community which it serves. We're here to develop a partnership
  to better serve the community. Through this program, specific
  groups will have officers assigned to help address the concerns
  of the group as well as the needs of the Police Department.
  Additionally, Officers may serve as Advisors to registered
  student organizations. The officers assigned to this program will
  be a link from the Chief's office to these groups. The Chief's
  door continues to be open to those in the community, but we
  hope this program will encourage a relationship of cooperation
  and service between the Police and the community.
                   Student Patrol
The UTD Police Department has hired a staff of twenty students to
  serve as Student Community Service Officers in the new Student
  Patrol program. Students are assisting the UTD Police and the
  community by serving as trained eyes and ears. CSO’s conduct
  foot patrols of the campus, and University residential areas.
  Services include walking escorts, motorist assists, entry assists,
  and performing other support services roles that do not require a
  commissioned Police Officer. Student CSO,s will identify and
  report all suspicious activity and safety issues while conducting
  their patrols. Additionally, Student Patrol staffs the Information
  Center from 6pm - 2am, extending the hours of service of the
  Information Center. Student Patrol is on duty daily from 6pm -
  2am.
         Emergency Call Boxes
Emergency call boxes are bronze or blue in
 color with a blue light above which
 illuminates at dusk. They are strategically
 located on the UTD Campus and are
 designed for emergency situations. These
 call boxes are connected directly to the
 Police Communications Center and have a
 button to push for service. If at any time a
 callbox button is pushed and you are
 unable to answer, an officer will be
 dispatched to that location immediately.
Campus Citation Online Appeals
Online campus citation appeals was
 made possible through a
 cooperative effort between UTD
 POLICE and the STUDENT
 GOVERNMENT
 ASSOCIATION. This service
 provides a more efficient method
 for conducting appeals. All campus
 citations are appealed online via
 our website:
    www.utdallas.edu/police
           Silent Witness Program
Silent Witness is provided as a service to you.
   We understand there are times when
   citizens may wish to provide information
   to the Police about criminal activity and
   remain anonymous. Providing for a safe
   community requires a partnership and a
   commitment from both Law
   Enforcement and the communities which
   they serve. We ask you to help us to serve
   and protect your community by reporting
   criminal activity. The form can be filled
   out online via our website:
   www.utdallas.edu/police
                Ask-A-Cop
Though we may answer questions
 about laws and possible sanctions,
 it should be noted that we are not
 allowed to provide legal guidance.
 Those questions most commonly
 asked will be added to the
 Frequently Asked Questions list
 on the website.
        Crime Prevention Unit
The Crime Prevention office coordinates several
 projects to promote safety and awareness on
 campus. Presentations by a crime prevention
 officer or a police officer can be arranged for
 student groups. Presentations may be offered in
 alcohol awareness, sexual assaults, identity theft,
 or other areas based on interest and need of
 your group. To have a presentation for your
 group, contact the Crime Prevention Office at
 972-883-4322 or 972-883-5311.

      Community Emergency Response Team

This program is open to anyone who is part of
 UTD, as Faculty, Staff, or Student. CERT
 training promotes a partnering effort between
 emergency services and the people that they
 serve. The goal is for emergency personnel to
 train members of neighborhoods, community
 organizations, or workplaces in basic response
 skills. CERT members are then integrated into
 the emergency response capability for their area.
