Crime Prevention Tips, Safety Talks, & Community Oriented Policing (COP)
University of Toledo Police Department (UTPD) officers are active in Community Oriented
Policing (COP), a philosophy of policing promoting partnerships between law enforcement
and the community served. Officers are assigned to specific areas of responsibility
such as Parks Tower residence hall or the Student Recreation Center. Officers spend
time becoming familiar with the students and staff and the unique challenges found
in those respective areas. Relationships are developed and the officer is viewed as
a resource and educator on safe habits and practices. Officers attend meetings with
students and staff and help develop solutions to problems. Programming such as theft
prevention methods, alcohol/drug awareness and sexual assault prevention are among
some of the programs provided through community policing.
