Proud of @UCFPolice's Community Partnership officers for starting this partnership with Amazon and grateful to Amazon for helping our community!

[UCF Police Department @UCFPolice]

Huge thank you to @amazon for their incredibly generous donation to the @KHKPantry! The donations, which included about $3,500 worth of personal hygiene items, were picked up and delivered to Knights Pantry by UCFPD officers this morning, where members of @UCFSG helped us unload.

[Chief Carl Metzger @UCFChiefMetzger]

We all share UCF's roads and it's up to all of us to keep them safe. Please slow down.

Last week, an officer stopped a driver going 61mph in a 25mph zone -- right in front of the police department and in the rain.

The driver received a citation and a mandatory court appearance in front of a judge that cost a minimum of $369 and at least 5 points on their license.

We are so grateful for our dispatchers at @UCFPolice and all they do to keep campus safe. They are truly the first, first responders in an emergency and law enforcement officers could not do their jobs without them.

[UCF Police Department @UCFPolice]

As National Public Safety Telecommunications Week comes to a close, we wanted to share a few photos from the week’s celebrations.

Our dispatchers had fun dressing up for themed days throughout the week, complete with a backdrop and decorations!

I hope you'll consider joining me in giving to our UCFPD K-9 fund. Your gift supports the adoption, training and care of our four-legged officers. #UCFDayOfGiving

[UCF Police Department @UCFPolice]

Aside from putting a smile on the face of anyone who meets them, UCFPD's K-9s play a critical role in keeping our students and campus safe.

By making a gift to the K-9 fund, you’ll support the adoption, training and care of our four-legged officers.
