About Support Services Division
We are primarily responsible for providing logistical support for all of our department divisions. One of our most important functions is recruiting and hiring. It is important to us, and the Â鶹AV community, to find and hire officers who are not only of high moral character, but also embrace the value of community policing. Our Support Services consists of Dispatch, Special Projects, and the Intelligence Unit. Additionally, Support Services assists Â鶹AV by providing security guards throughout campus, and overseeing the safety and security, as well as planning, Â鶹AV special events.
Training
Our Training Division has one of the most critical functions in law enforcement. Our greatest responsibility in law enforcement is to the public. This is accomplished through a furtherance of education and training of our employees. Our employees receive the most innovative and current training available. We look to provide the Â鶹AV University community with the best trained, highest skilled, and ethically upstanding public servants possible.
