@UTAustinPolice Change happens because of leaders like Chief Streepy. We are incredibly proud to honor him with the 2026 Community Impact Award in Memory of Haruka Weiser. Thank you Chief for your leadership and standing with us! 💙🤘

[UT Austin Police Department @UTAustinPolice]

UTPD Chief Shane Streepy has been recognized by SafeHorns with the 2026 Community Impact Award.

Presented in memory of Haruka Weiser, the award honors individuals and organizations whose compassion, commitment and action help strengthen the campus community. SafeHorns recognized Chief Streepy for his leadership, commitment to campus safety, and work to strengthen partnerships across UT Austin and the broader Austin community.

Assistant Chief Pat Connor and Chief Security Officer David Armistead accepted the award on Chief Streepy’s behalf during National Night Out. Thank you for this meaningful recognition and for your continued partnership in keeping our community safe and connected. 🧡

[UT Austin Police Department @UTAustinPolice]

The safety of Longhorns is our highest priority. Overnight, an Austin resident reportedly suffering from a mental health crisis made threats against our campus and others. The Austin Police Department arrested him early this morning and is the primary investigative agency. This individual has no affiliation with the University. We are thankful to our partners at APD for their swift action to protect our Longhorn community. We will continue to monitor this case as it moves through the justice system.

UTPD routinely coordinates with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners, exchanging information and monitoring potential threats to ensure every person on our campus is safe and feels safe and supported. As always, we encourage all Longhorns to always be vigilant and report anything suspicious by calling 911 or texting UTPD through the UT LiveSafe app.

Stay hydrated and enjoy the game, Longhorns!
