Hawk Patrol is the UHCL Police Department's cooperative endeavor with the UHCL Student Body to help make the UHCL campus a safe place for work, study and fun!
Who Are We? The Hawk Patrol consists of student employees under the direction of the UHCL Police Department who provide valuable services to the university community.
What Do We Do? The Hawk Patrol (or as we call ourselves - Hawks) serves the university community by working in the Police Department Business Office to service parking customers. Hawks also patrol the parking lots in marked Hawk Patrol vehicles. Hawks provide safety transportation escorts, motorist assist services (door unlock, jump starts, flat tire service), enforce parking regulations and remain very visible during the evening hours.
When Does the Hawk Patrol Operate: Hawks are on duty at the Police Business Office at Bayou 1636 from 8:00AM - 6:00PM, Monday through Thursday and from 8:00AM - 12Noon on Friday. Hawks are on duty patrolling the parking lots and available for motorist assists and safety escorts from 5:00PM - 10:00PM, Monday - Thursday.
How Do I Contact the Police Department for Hawk Patrol Services: Call the Police Department at 281-283-2222 or come to the Police Window at Bayou 1636 and pick up the direct line courtesy phone to our dispatcher.
What If I Need Motorist Assistance When the Hawk Patrol Is Not on Duty: UHCL Police Officers will be happy to assist you. Call the Police Department at 281-283-2222 or come to the Police Window at Bayou 1636 and pick up the direct line courtesy phone to our dispatcher.
What Is the Future Vision for the Hawk Patrol: The Hawk Patrol is a new program born in the fall 2012. As funding allows, the Police Department hopes to grow the program to allow for 8:00AM - 10:00PM, Monday - Thursday Hawk Patrol coverage in the lots, expand to Fridays as more classes begin to meet on that day.
Why do we need a Hawk Patrol: The Hawk Patrol program is intended to further strengthen the relationship with the student body and the Police Department while providing valuable services to the community. Besides the Police Department giving back and creating more student jobs on campus, the program also allows the UHCL Police Officers to focus on their law enforcement and emergency response preparation missions. As Hawks assist with service calls, the Police Officers can spend more time developing their law enforcement skill set through preventative patrols, crime prevention measures, training and drills. We see it as a WIN - WIN for the students and the community.
