About The Position

Many of our officers are UNT graduates or students because we highly value education and training. That emphasis led our department to a rare dual accreditation, showing both our concern for our community and our dedication to professionalism. Our 48 state-certified police officers enforce municipal and state laws and UNT policies while providing service to campus 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The department has full law enforcement jurisdiction within the UNT campus, city of Denton, and any county where UNT maintains property.
