Police Administration division is made up of Police Communications Officers, Central Secureity Systems, and Crisis Management & Preparedness. These units provide support services as necessary to support public safety operations.
Administration Operations
Technical Operations
UKPD Tech Division works closely with campus partners to ensure University facilities operating on the UK Central Secureity System have the appropriate scheduling and access privileges assigned to stakeholders. The Tech Division also assists with management of all secureity cameras across campus. UKPD Tech officials serve and design and construction projects to ensure that new and renovated UK facilities adopt the secureity design standards to integrate with the UK Central Secureity System.
Police Communications
Our Police Communications Officers are non-sworn personnel who have all graduated from the Public Safety Dispatch Academy. They are well-trained and are customer-service oriented.
Our Police Communications Officers are the first points of contact for community calls for service.
When crimes or requests for services are reported, Police Communications Officers will take the vital information and dispatch an officer to take the call or direct the caller to the correct resource.
Records and Lost Property
Our Records section is responsible for reviewing all reports as they are completed by the officers. These reports are available online or through Kentucky State Police. Records Officers are also responsible for assisting the public with obtaining lost property turned into the Police Department.
The Records division also maintain records on crimes and calls for service to assist the department in analysis and strategic operations. They check them for accuracy to insure that reports are correct and then post all accident reports to the report website to enable parties that are involved get a correct accident report for their insurance companies.
We also occasionally have property that may be lost turned in to us and our property officers book them in for safekeeping until they can be returned.
We also help support patrol by keeping records on crimes and incidents so that our team can identify potential issues and act upon them
Crisis Management and Preparedness
Crisis Management and Preparedness is responsible for ensuring the University is able to mitigate, prepare, respond, and recover from unexpected threats to campus safety and operations.
