The University of Central Florida Police Department has plans to hire several new officers over the coming years to keep up with increasing enrollment at UCF.
UCFPD plans to add 15 new officers each year over the next several years in hopes of putting more officers out on patrol as the campus and its population grows. The department currently employs approximately 70 sworn law enforcement officers.
The department will unveil a new UCF-themed recruitment cruiser on Monday, Jan. 26, to “attract the attention of rookie and veteran officers who want a career in community policing,” UCF said in a statement.
The agency will also add a new employment page is to UCF Police’s website.
UCF Police also will show off the new vehicle to the community at the 10th annual Cops ‘N Cars For Kids car show, which will be held at the Oviedo Mall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24.
