Patrol Division
The main function of the patrol division is to provide around the clock patrol to ensure campus safety by maintaining high levels of visibility. Patrol officers are committed to providing the highest quality of police services to the University community. Officers respond to a wide variety of calls, ranging from emergency calls for service, to providing informational, instructional and training services.
Patrol Methods:
Mobile Patrol: Mobile patrol refers to motor vehicle and golf cart patrol. Through mobile patrol officers are able to cover more areas, patrol the same area more often and patrol in a random manner. The main advantage of mobile patrol is that officers are able to respond promptly to calls for service.
Foot Patrol: Foot patrol is the most common type of patrol performed by TAMIU police officers. When on foot patrol, officers provide a consistent and visible presence on campus. Through foot patrol, officers are easily accessible and are often able to deal with community concerns before they ever receive a call from a police dispatcher.
Bike Patrol: Bike patrol offers easy mobility while maintaining a high level of visibility. Officers have increased vision on bike patrol, which allows greater awareness and provides an opportunity for greater public contact in high pedestrian areas.
