In police work getting to the scene of an emergency quickly or being able to track down a fugitive no matter where they may flee is of the utmost importance. To this end, UAPD maintains a fleet of Ford Crown Victoria Police Cruisers along with several detective and administrator vehicles, two motorcycles, two all terrain vehicles, mountain bikes and forfeiture vehicles. Not only a means from getting from point A to point B, University of Akron cruisers are in essence small mobile offices complete with computers! Thanks to the City of Akron Police Department, our cruisers are equipped with Mobile Data Browsers that can run license plates and communicate car to car with Akron City Police and Summit County Sheriff's Deputies.
Our motorcycles have been involved in police related events ranging from the "close to home" Akron Marathon all the way to events in the Nations Capital in Washington D.C..
