University Area Command

Welcome to the University Area Command. Our patrol officers are divided into Watch Commands, providing day shift, swing shift, and graveyard coverage for emergency calls for service. In addition to patrol officers, the University Area Command also has a Proactive Response Team (PRT) Officers, who conduct proactive enforcement in crime areas, and conduct community engagement and outreach.
