Scheduling Security for Your Special Event
Need a police officer or security for your upcoming special event? Ensure your event is safe and compliant by coordinating with UPD. We provide the professional oversight necessary to keep your guests safe and your event running smoothly.
Texas A&M University Group
To ensure proper planning, the requester must complete and submit a Police Service Request form at least two weeks before the event date. Requests made with less than 2 weeks' notice may not guarantee an officer's availability.
Once completed, the form can be emailed to Miranda Jones at tamupd-specops@tamu.edu.
Student Organizations
All student organizations must complete and submit the Approval to Charge form to the Student Organization Finance Center (SOFC) before requesting police services. Since police service requests must be submitted at least 2 weeks before the event, it is advisable to submit the Approval to Charge form at least 3 weeks in advance. After SOFC has processed your Approval to Charge form, you may proceed with the police service request. Remember, the completed Police Service Request Form must be submitted at least 2 weeks before your event date to allow ample time for planning. If your request is submitted with less than two weeks' notice, an officer may not be available to attend. Once finalized, please email it to Miranda Jones at tamupd-specops@tamu.edu.
Non-Texas A&M University Groups
The Texas A&M University Police Department does not accept requests for police services from non-Texas A&M University System Departments. If your company or organization requires police services on campus, please submit your request through a TAMUS department or student organization that sponsors it.
