Go behind the scenes of campus safety.

The UAPD Community Academy is a free learning series for U of A faculty and staff to understand how campus safety and community policing actually work. 

Throughout 11 weekly evening sessions (plus a graduation celebration at the end), you'll get an insider's look at how UAPD operates—everything from patrol operations and investigations to crisis support and crime analysis. You'll hear directly from UAPD officers, civilian staff, and Office of Public Safety leaders as they share what they do day-to-day and answer your questions.

Your voice matters, and we want to hear your thoughts, concerns and ideas about safety on campus.
