Having the right numbers of officers in the right place to assure a smoothly operating event is our departments goal. Services division members spend long hours attending meetings planning and coordinating efforts with on campus and off campus departments to prepare for these events.  To assure that our department has an adequate number of officers available, UAPD maintains arrangements with the City of Akron Police Department, the Summit County Sheriffs Office, the Orville Police Department and the State Highway Patrol as well as all State Universities within the state of Ohio. </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www3.uakron.edu/police/gameball.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www3.uakron.edu/police/gameball.w"><I><B>Click here</B></I></A><I><B> to view an Infocision Stadium opening day video</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Orientation/Crime Prevention Talks</B></I></div> <div>  Enrolled freshman are scheduled to attend orientation sessions where our segment presents crime prevention tips and techniques that are unique to the college experience.
