UNC Police Receive Grant to Upgrade Radio Console

Weld County government in conjunction with the University of Northern Colorado is pleased to announce the Weld County E911 Authority Board has awarded the UNC Police Department a $68,000 grant for an upgrade to its radio communication system.  

The new multi-channel console provides an interface that allows seamless monitoring of campus and surrounding community emergency communications. It enhances the UNC Police Department’s ability to communicate more efficiently with Weld County emergency services and providers. 

Funding for this grant, a collaborative effort of continued partnership among area law enforcement and local governmental agencies, is received from the E-911 Board through a surcharge placed on all calls in the area. Multi-jurisdictional agreements exist between UNC Police, Greeley Police, Evans Police and Weld County government. 

Commissioner William Garcia states that this is another positive example of regional cooperation between local governmental agencies aimed at providing more coordinated and streamlined delivery of services. UNC Police Chief Wendy Rich-Goldschmidt added:  “This upgrade strengthens our ability to quickly respond by using an efficient conduit to provide or request resources both in our jurisdiction and also within the jurisdictions of our partners.” 

 

UNC Police Receive Accreditation 

In 2007, the UNC Police Department began pursuing reaccreditation through the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police. In 2008, the department completed the process, which included compliance with 186 standards, interviews with assessors, on site inspections and a demonstrated commitment to professionalism. Specifically, officer conduct, ethics, use of force, organizational accountability, critical incidents, community partnerships and patrol operations were examined. 

While the UNC Police Department is proud of this accomplishment, it is but one example of our commitment to policing excellence. Forging a plethora of community-based partnerships, coupled with a strong values-based policing model, also guide the UNC Police in providing exceptional police services to our community.

Welcome from the Chief

UNC PD welcomes you to our beautiful campus and city.

Our officers are part of the campus community. Whether you're at a residence hall, in an academic building or out and about on campus, you're likely to cross paths with us at all hours.

Safety is everyone's business here. You can do your part by remembering to:

• Lock the doors on your car, residence hall, apartment or office.
• Keep valuables secured and out of sight.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Don't walk alone.
• Follow the rules and laws of the community.
• Immediately report anything suspicious.

All we do aims to keep you safe. We make vehicle, bike and foot patrols on and around campus 24/7. We work with others on- and off-campus to enforce alcohol and traffic laws and rules. We also offer many educational programs.

We're glad to have you as a partner in keeping our community safe and enjoyable.

 

Best Regards,

Wendy Rich-Goldschmidt

Chief, UNC Police Department
