Last week, the University of Texas at Austin Police Department held its annual awards ceremony recognizing the professionalism, leadership, and contributions of our personnel. The awards honor individuals whose work reflects the standards, values, and responsibility that guide our department in supporting public safety, campus operations, and service to the UT community. We also recognized Assistant Chief Chris Miller for more than a decade of distinguished service and leadership with UTPD, and for his lasting impact on our department. We thank @JimDavis_UT for joining us in recognizing the outstanding work of our personnel and for his continued support of campus safety. Congratulations to this year’s award recipients and thank you to all of UTPD for your continued dedication to the university community. #UTPD #WeSERVE
