Campus Police

What They Do

Lock and unlock campus buildings and classrooms, handle special requests (i.e. barricades, cones, and signage required for events), and provide extra security.

Most campus buildings are open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday hours are typically 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. If you plan to use campus rooms outside of these hours or are unsure if the room will be unlocked, please note within your event registration the requested lock/unlock times (see form below).

UTD Police can also be hired to provide extra security at events. The rate of hire is approximately $45/hour for officers and $25/hour for guards (PSOs).

Cindy Percival, UTD Police’s event specialist, is available to meet with campus event personnel to discuss any potential event needs, concerns, and/or questions.
