Can I Hire TAMU Police Officers for an Event?

Yes, you may hire TAMU UPD for event security.

 

Texas A&M University Group

A Police Service Request Form should be submitted at least two weeks before your event to ensure sufficient planning time; requests made with less than two weeks’ notice are not guaranteed officer availability. Completed forms may be faxed to 979-845-6500 or emailed to Miranda Jones using the link below.

Student Organization

All student organizations must complete and submit the Approval to Charge form to the Student Organization Finance Center (SOFC) before requesting police service. Since police service requests must be made at least two weeks before the event, submit the Approval to Charge form at least three weeks in advance. After SOFC receives the form, submit the Police Service Request as detailed above by fax or email.

The Texas A&M University Police Department does not accept police service requests directly from non-Texas A&M University System departments.
