The primary function of FSUPD’s Crime Prevention Unit is community outreach.  A way to help FSUPD get out into the community is by giving us an. opportunity to join you at your tabling event.  FSUPD offers safety and instructional information at each tabling event.  FSUPD will also hand out a variety of “SWAG” depending on the theme of the event. FSUPD considers this a great way to meet our community partners and an even better way to get to know our students.

The FSUPD Citizen’s Police Academy strives to open the doors of the police department to the FSU community and greatly enhance the understanding between FSUPD employees and the campus. The CPA allows members of the FSU neighborhood, who may otherwise only have a limited interaction with FSU police officers, to get an exclusive, inside view of what makes FSUPD and its officers tick. In the same vein, FSUPD employees are afforded an opportunity to develop professional and lasting relationships with their university colleagues. The idea of a Citizen’s Police Academy at FSU is a win-win proposition!
