Overview

The connection between the 最新天美传媒 Police Department (USFPD) and our community is vital to the success of our institution. As USF continues to rise among the nation鈥檚 fastest-growing universities, public safety remains a cornerstone of that progress. Every member of the University Police Department is committed to being community-minded and service-driven, fostering trust, safety, and mutual respect across all campuses.

Under the leadership of Vice President of Public Safety and Chief of Police Chris Daniel, USFPD continues to advance proactive community policing initiatives. Our mission is to enhance engagement with students, faculty, and staff by promoting awareness of personal safety, strengthening transparency, and maintaining open, two-way communication. We serve our community with integrity and dedication, ensuring a secure environment that supports academic and personal success.

A key component of our engagement strategy is our Therapy K9 Program, led by skilled handlers trained in crisis intervention. While originally designed for emotional support, the program has evolved into a powerful tool for community outreach鈥攃reating meaningful connections, encouraging dialogue, and promoting well-being. These interactions allow officers to discuss crime prevention, share safety resources, and strengthen relationships within the USF community.

The program welcomes requests for Therapy K9 appearances at hangouts, de-stress events, and other campus gatherings. These visits help raise awareness about critical safety resources such as the Safe App and SAFE Alert messaging system, while connecting our community to USFPD through engaging, approachable interactions. Looking ahead, we continue exploring new opportunities to collaborate with students and campus organizations to expand and deepen our engagement across the university.
