As the University of Akron continues to grow and expand UAPD is growing and expanding also. "We are extremely excited about the opportunity to hire 7 new officers and we are determined to provide the safest environment possible for our community", states Chief Callahan. University of Akron police officers are "sworn officers" certified by the Ohio Police Officers Training Council. Currently the University of Akron Police department is staffed with 32 sworn officers, 22 of which are directed to patrol duties. The officers not working patrol are hard at work in administration, the detective bureau or information technology. Through a mutual aid contract, UA officers work together with the City of Akron Police and patrol not only the campus proper but the surrounding neighborhood as well.
