The UT Dallas Police Department is comprised of commissioned and non-commissioned personnel. All commissioned Police Officers are state certified through the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE). Our non-commissioned officers enhance the services we provide by assisting in calls for service; such as escorts and vehicle assists; traffic and parking control; building security checks and special events. The Department employs dozens of other professionals in our state-of-the-art Communications / 911 Dispatch Center as well as administrative support staff. Our agency has a Patrol Division, Criminal Investigation Division, Communications Division, Crime Prevention Unit, Training Unit and several other important components.

The UT Dallas Police Department is a fully functional, modern law enforcement agency. The Department is open and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All of our Police Officers have broad jurisdiction and are empowered and equipped to respond and investigate all calls for service, criminal offenses and non-criminal incidents on campus; to include the nine apartment complexes of the Waterview Park Apartments.
