An individual was arrested Monday by the University of Arizona Police Department, with the assistance from the FBI. He was transferred into federal custody and is now facing a federal criminal charge. He has not been out of law enforcement custody since his initial arrest Monday.
Recently a community member captured a photo of one of our officers guiding a turtle home.
Cpl. Pickrom found a turtle that had left the Turtle Pond on campus and was at the intersection of Park and 2nd St. Cpl. Pickrom pulled over, picked up the turtle and returned it home!

This may be hard to see, but it is harder to believe this driver was doing 93 mph in a 35 near the
@uarizona
campus! It wasn’t hard for our UAPD officer to arrest the driver for criminal speeding due to this reckless & dangerous behavior. Please be smart & drive safe!
ARREST MADE: UAPD continues to combat vehicle thefts in and around campus. Earlier this week, UAPD recovered a stolen vehicle, that led to the arrest of two individuals.
We commend our officers on a job well done.
We are happy to announce the newest member of UAPD: K9 Maggie
Thanks to a grant from the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Foundation, Maggie will join Det. Nicole Nelson as the first

Recently while on a traffic stop, our officers were flagged down by a passerby, who informed them there was an elderly woman with a flat tire.
Ofc. Dombrowski and Ofc. Drake responded and assisted the woman in changing her tire.
Thank you to the Tucson community for being safe and smart. Your voice was heard loud and clear. We 💙 our University of Arizona and Tucson Community! Thank you for for allowing us to be inspired by your voices for change.

Nothing makes me smile more than when community members come up & shake my hand and say “thank you for being here” or “thank you for your service” like so many did today. Great job by all
