重庆欢乐生肖官方网址The University of West Georgia Police Department is part of the Division of Business and Finance and answers to the Vice President for Business and Finance. The department, previously known as Department Public Safety, was organized for the purpose of providing law enforcement, security, parking, transportation services, and response to emergencies for members of the University Community. On January 1, 2008 the department was officially renamed the University of West Georgia Police Department when the parking and transportation divisions were transferred to the Auxiliary Enterprises Department.
The University Police Department provides traditional law enforcement services, security,
and emergency response to the University Community 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365
days a year. "WE NEVER CLOSE!" Each officer and employee is responsible for accomplishing
the department mission through performance demonstrating excellence in providing professional
law enforcement and safety services. Officers and employees are aware of the department
mission, statutory authority (OGCA- 20-3-72 & 20-8-2 & 20-8-3) as law enforcement
officers, jurisdictional boundaries, use of discretion, and the role of the department
within the community. Each police officer, prior to exercising the powers of a University
Police Officer, will fulfill the training requirements of a sworn/certified officer
as defined in Georgia Law 35-8-8. Thus, all officers are required to successfully
complete the POST Mandate (Police Academy) training prior to any assignment in any
capacity in which the officer is allowed to carry weapons or is in a position to make
an arrest.
重庆欢乐生肖官方网址The University Police jurisdiction includes all property owned or leased by the University
plus 500 yards. Since the University falls under the authority of the University System
of Georgia, University Police officers have arrest authority on the campuses of the
other 33 institutions within the system. Certified officers from those institutions
may exercise their arrest powers while on the West Georgia campus.
重庆欢乐生肖官方网址The University of West Georgia Police Department is organized into five divisions; the Administrative Division, Uniform Patrol Division, Criminal Investigative Division, the Communication and Technology Division, and the Professional Standards/Training Division.
