University Police
cooperates fully with local and state law enforcement agencies in cases
that involve both on-campus and off-campus jurisdictions, or when the
resources of an agency other than University Police can be used to facilitate
the resolution of an investigation. Local police agencies and University
Police exchange information on a regular basis and work together during
UA sporting and other community events.
University Police
officers also participate in the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force,
which enforces all narcotics violations in Tuscaloosa County, and in
the Tuscaloosa County Homicide Unit, which is responsible for investigating
all serious crimes against people in the county. These cooperative efforts
enable the University Police to work with and for UA students and employees
in situations that occur off campus.
