Our Mission
The University of Oregon Department of Public Safety plays an integral role in the university community by providing a safe, secure and welcoming environment. Our mission is to foster a climate that encourages a free, open, and civil exchange of ideas, in support of the educational, research and public service goals of the university. We recognize and promote the value of diversity and tolerance consistent with a spirit of responsible citizenship within an international community.
UODPS serves the university community in a well established partnership with the Eugene Police Department (EPD). A sergeant and a patrol team from the Eugene Police Department are assigned at the Department of Public Safety. EPD officers are on-duty at all times near or within the university district in combination with the UODPS Officers.
