Student Employment Opportunities
Become a part of the UWPPD! Make the most out of your work experiences and grow personally and professionally.
Student employment at UWPPD takes two routes: Student Dispatcher and Community Service Officer.
Student dispatchers work mainly weekends and holidays staffing the front desk of the Police Department in Tallent Hall. Student dispatchers go through extensive training on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift to ensure they are knowledgeable in the many systems, terminologies, and resources used by the police department. This position provides experience in what a functioning dispatch center looks like and how dispatchers assist in keeping the community safe.
Community Service Officers are responsible for parking enforcement in campus lots, Monday through Friday during Fall and Spring semesters. This position requires a valid driver’s license and the ability to complete parking enforcement independently on foot. This is a flexible position that allows students to work before, after, or in between their scheduled classes.
You do not have to be a Criminal Justice major apply for either job. To check if the UWPPD is actively hiring, please click the link below to view all student help positions open on campus!
YOU HAVE OPTIONS PROGRAM
The goal of the You Have Options Program (YHOP) is to create an environment where victims of sexual assault are in complete control of an investigation and feel comfortable enough to share whatever they are able with law enforcement without fear or pressure. Victims are given three options when reporting to a YHOP agency.
INFORMATION ONLY
An information only report is when the victim provides law enforcement with as much or as little information as they would like. Law enforcement will document the information and provide a case number but will not go further into a formal investigation. The victim can stop, postpone or change their mind at any time or allow additional investigative steps to be taken at a later date.
PARTIAL INVESTIGATION
A partial investigation may include interviewing of witnesses and collection of evidence, along with the victim interview.
FULL INVESTIGATION
A full investigation is where all investigative procedures including a victim interview, collection of evidence, and an interview with the suspect culminates with sending charges to the District Attorney’s office for review and a charging decision.
