Adopt-A-Cop

The Adopt-A-Cop program was initiated as an effort to make it easier for student residents and police officers to communicate with one another. Participating officers are assigned residence halls and work closely with Housing and聽Residential Life staff聽within the selected residence halls. The educational and crime prevention needs of each residence hall are assessed and programming is specifically designed and implemented to address these needs. Participating officers patrol their respective residence halls and spend time with the staff and residents of these halls; as a result, residents are more likely to approach participating officers to report concerns, crimes, and issues.
