What Texas A & M University Police Department does

Texas A&M University Police Department (UPD) is a CALEA-accredited, state-funded campus law enforcement agency operating as a department within the Texas A&M University Division of Operations. Established in 1964 and granted full police authority under Texas Senate Bill 162 in 1967, UPD provides 24/7/365 patrol, emergency response, criminal investigations, and community safety services across four campuses: Main Campus in College Station, the Health & Science Center Bryan Campus, the RELLIS Campus, and the Farm Campus. The department serves a campus population of over 70,000 students plus faculty, staff, and visitors, organized into three primary divisions — Field Operations, Support Services, and Security, Compliance and Professional Standards — under Chief of Police Mike Johnson.

UPD's service portfolio includes the Code Maroon emergency notification mobile application (iOS/Android), the ACES mental health co-response program (a partnership with University Health Services that pairs sworn officers with licensed counselors), Clery Act compliance reporting systems, a crime reporting portal, structured safety training programs (Civilian Response to Active Shooter, Stop The Bleed, Alive at 25, child car seat inspections), the EZ Child ID digital fingerprinting program, property engraving services, and victim advocacy. The department maintains formal interagency coordination with College Station PD, Bryan PD, Brazos County Sheriff's Office, and training partnerships with TEEX.

As a government state entity, UPD's operating model is institutionally funded rather than commercially revenue-driven. The only disclosed paid service line is event security, with hourly rates effective September 1, 2025 of $100/hr for police officers serving TAMU System users, $102/hr for non-system users, $70/hr for security officers, and $108.53/hr for K-9 units, each with minimum charge thresholds. Customer segments are non-commercial: students, faculty/staff, campus visitors, and campus security authorities. Distribution is direct-to-community through headquarters presence, 24/7 dispatch (979-845-2345), community outreach programs, and active social media channels (Facebook, X, Instagram).
