Job Description
(click to see jobs for roles related to this one)
The Police Sergeant position is a uniformed first line supervisory position and is responsible for ensuring that Campus Police Officers perform in alignment with the mission and direction of the Campus Public Safety Office while complying with constitutional guidelines, policies, state laws, and a variety of complex administrative operational and programmatic functions
Supervision is exercised over Campus Police Officers and within certain assignments, civilian personnel. Campus Police Sergeants work independently in performing regularly assigned duties under general direction of a Lieutenant or other higher ranking administrators.
Special Note:
The Police Sergeant may at times be the highest ranking law enforcement/public safety official on campus. As such, the incumbent is expected to make emergency command decisions without the benefit of consultation from a higher authority. Due to the potential decision making nature of the position, the Sergeant must be prepared to provide immediate direction to the community by making decisions for the University that may marginally relate to law enforcement/public safety until such time as higher-level authority arrives on scene.
