Welcome to the University of Oregon Police Department Community Service Officer Program. This program provides an alternative pathway to police services for our University of Oregon students. Community Service Officers perform many functions within the police supporting campus safety.

Community Service Officers are an important part of UOPD's detailed matrix that helps determine what department resources are the most appropriate to deploy in response to every potential type of call for service.
