Our Vision

A safe and secure campus which fosters an atmosphere that allows the University community as a whole to achieve personal and institutional goals pertaining to learning, working and quality of life issues.
Our Mission

The University of North Florida Police Department is entrusted to preserve the peace, provide general police services to the University community, and enforce the laws of the State of Florida, the ordinances of the City of Jacksonville, as well as the rules, policies and traffic regulations of the University of North Florida. In cooperation with the entire campus community, the University Police Department also is committed to protecting the University's population, buildings, grounds and equipment.
Core Values



PARTNERSHIP: The University Police Department will work to create partnerships with the University community. Partnerships allow the community a voice in the policing process and promote a mutual understanding of quality of live issues.

INTEGRITY: The single most valuable tool a law enforcement officer has at his/her disposal is integrity. Integrity builds a foundation of trust and support, which is an essential element in a relationship between the police department and the community.

RESPECT: The University Police Department serves a diverse community and each person in our community deserves a level of respect that we would want extended to us as an agency and as individuals. Having respect for every person we serve will help build relationships that improve the community as a whole and will ensure that the rights of every individual are respected. 
Quality Campaign

In addition to a strong emphasis on the Mission, Vision and Core Values, members of the University Police Department have adopted as their principle for the delivery of police services the ongoing campaign of “A FOCUS ON QUALITY”. 

With this principle in mind, each member of the University Police Department is coached on the importance of the following issues by their supervisor and the Chief reviews the issues with each officer at training sessions:

  • A Focus on Quality Police Services – Providing a level of service that we would want provided to us or our family.
  • A Focus on Quality Enforcement – Enforcing laws and rules in a manner that is beneficial to the community as a whole.
  • A Focus on a Quality Work Product - Producing a total work product that brings pride to the employee. 

A FOCUS ON QUALITY is a principle that has increased the level of professionalism in employees and has encouraged closer working relationships with the community.
