NAUPD<\/h1>\n

From the Chief of Police<\/h2>\n

\"\"NAU PD is committed to providing the Northern Arizona University community with a highly professional and well trained police department.\u00a0 Our mission is to foster a safe, healthy environment through quality law enforcement services and community problem solving partnerships. NAU PD focuses on collaborative partnerships within the NAU community and the city of Flagstaff.\u00a0 Community outreach is a priority for our police department.<\/p>\n

NAU PD has been an accredited agency since 1995 and currently holds that accreditation through the Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ALEAP). By voluntarily holding ourselves to this higher standard of excellence, we hope to always provide a level of law enforcement service that our community can trust and appreciate.<\/p>\n

NAU PD enhances the safety of the NAU campus community through our patrol division that works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.\u00a0 Officers are able to use a variety of patrol methods including marked patrol units, unmarked units, police mountain bikes, and an All-Terrain Vehicle.\u00a0\u00a0 In addition, NAU PD maintains a highly trained Police Emergency Communications Center, an Investigations Division, and a Community Relations Division. We also utilize student workers as University Safety Aides and Student Traffic Controllers.<\/p>\n

I encourage all NAU students, staff, faculty, and visitors to learn more about the resources offered by our department by reviewing the important information on our webpage, or by contacting us directly.\u00a0 Please take some time to read the Annual Security Report to enhance your Lumberjack experience as it relates to being informed and safe.<\/p>\n

We are proud and honored to serve Northern Arizona University.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
