Bright Future^TM

A Bright Future™ is what the UConn Police Department wants for you and for everyone in our community. The men and women of the UCPD work hand-in-hand with members of our community to identify University Safety concerns, provide education, host community events, and realize practical and effective solutions to the issues facing our neighborhoods. These efforts, coupled with directed enforcement and thorough investigations, serve to make Bright Future™ a model University Safety campaign by the UConn Police Department. Through using a multifaceted approach to complex problems, we provide education, information, and enforcement as we work cooperatively with community members to achieve safer communities and a Bright Future™ for everyone.

Collaboration

A safe community is only possible with the combined efforts of local law enforcement and the communities they serve. UConn Police officers constantly work with members of the UConn community to identify University Safety concerns. They then become part of the collaborative solutions to ensure safe communities.

Education

Members of the UConn Police Department bring to the community leading edge education through facilitated learning activities and public information efforts. Interactive presentations on sexual violence prevention, alcohol and other drug awareness, interpersonal communication skills and more are all key components to a Bright Future^TM for the community. Officers continually assess programming through detailed data collection and develop information for the community that will resonate with a broad spectrum of community members. The UConn Police Department also utilizes partner information packages for community groups that want to be leaders in making a Bright Future for our entire campus.

Directed Enforcement

Whether it be increasing dedicated patrols to address specific issues such as underage drinking, impaired driving, or other public health risks; implementing leading-edge training for our officers investigating crimes of sexual violence; or enhancing the delivery of services to victims and witnesses of crime in our neighborhoods, all members of the UConn Police Department strive for excellence in our law enforcement efforts.
