| COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING
Community Oriented Policing (COP) is a partnership with the
community on and around campus, which includes students, staff, and
the surrounding neighborhoods. COP strives to maintain a dialogue between
officers and the community, by creating a cooperative effort
towards safety. This is accomplished by effectively communicating our goal as
a police department, and requesting and receiving input from all
involved in the community at hand. COP ensures that we are all involved in safeguarding the
university and surrounding neighborhood.

UW-La Crosse Police Department is currently
involved in many activities within the community. They
include:
- Bike Patrol
- Alcohol Task Force
- HOPE (Hmong Opportunity Promotion and Education)
- Polar Bear Plunge
- Campus Safety Talks
- Foot Patrol
- Diversity Resource Center
By establishing COP, the UW- La Crosse Police Department
hopes to support a collaborative effort between this agency and
the campus community in general. By doing this, UW-L
Police hope to be a proactive law enforcement agency prepared to
help before a serious problem arises.
