A Message from the Chief
The University of Arizona Police Department is a CALEA certified police agency, providing law enforcement and security services to the campus community. Our police officers are fully state certified and have the same powers as any other police officer in the state. Our primary jurisdiction is the main campus and outlying university properties, including the Mount Graham International Observatory site near Safford. However, through established agreements, we also take action as needed and provide assistance to other law enforcement agencies in the areas adjacent to our jurisdiction.

We believe that to accomplish our mission of, "providing a secure atmosphere conducive to the education, research, employment and daily community lifestyles of the institution", we must work with and have the assistance of everyone on campus. All of our members have committed to serve the campus and fulfill our mission by being highly skilled and always acting in good faith. In return they ask all campus members to join with them to accomplish our mission through proactive efforts designed to address issues before they become police concerns.

We established this web site to enable us to be even more accessible to the community we serve and to others interested in learning more about our department.

It is designed to address many of the questions commonly encountered about our department. Please contact us directly if you have further questions and by all means don't hesitate to just say "hi" to us as you see us around campus.

Sincerely,
Anthony Daykin
Chief of Police
