🚨 Mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 13th! 🚨

URPD is stepping away from patrol cars and into aprons for our Tip-A-Cop event benefiting Special Olympics! 👮🍽️💙

Come out for good food, great company, and a chance to support incredible athletes — while watching officers attempt a career in food service.

Every tip goes toward supporting Special Olympics athletes and programs. We’d love to see you there!

The URPD hosted its annual Vehicle Safety Day on November 18, 2026! 🚗✨
Students, faculty, and staff were invited to stop by for free vehicle safety inspections before heading out for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Our team checked and topped off fluids, inspected tire pressure, and made sure all lights were working properly to help keep our community safe on the road.

Plus, everyone enjoyed free pizza and soft drinks while they waited! 🍕🥤

Thank you to everyone who came out—safe travels, Spiders! 🕷️💙
