"Promoting Awareness Through Education"
The Crime Prevention Unit (CPU) was formed in 1989. Over the years the CPU has received
numerous awards honoring their dedication and devotion to crime prevention and to the
faculty, staff, and students of Texas A&M University. The CPU is currently staffed by
Sergeant Allan Baron, Master Officers
Dee Donovan and
Kristi Hosea.
The involvement of the CPU within the A&M community is vast and far-reaching. The
unit primarily concentrates its duties within the A&M campus proper, located in College
Station, Texas. Approximately 45,000 students and 10,000 faculty/staff members benefit
from the unit. The unit also travels to various cities throughout eastern and central
Texas giving talks, lectures, and presentations to various groups and organizations.
The CPU is responsible for staffing the
Community-Oriented Police Services (C.O.P.S.)
offices in the University Apartments, Commons Lobby (residence south), and the A1
Lounge (residence north). The C.O.P.S. program is a partnership between the Department
of Security and University Police and the Department of Residence Life. Together, they
work hand in hand to provide a safer community.
The CPU conducts building security surveys, which measure the building's vulnerability
to crime. The building's perimeter, exterior, and interior are examined. A written report
is then given to the Department Head or appropriate person responsible for the building.
The CPU works with anyone requesting special projects, which require police help or
informational material on personal safety or property security. Examples include students
with class projects requiring information on penal code laws, alcohol laws, traffic laws,
and security matters.
