Welcome to www.police.ucr.edu, the official web site of the University of California Police Department, Riverside. The UCR Police Department was established in 1954 on this campus. The Police Department is a professional police agency staffed by individuals who cherish and preserve the highest standards of conduct and performance.

As Chief of Police, I am proud of this department and every member of the organization. Employees have showed continuing dedication and leadership in law enforcement through their own initiative. All members of the department are responsible for upholding this fine tradition.

The mission of the UCR Police Department is to heighten the quality of life by providing a secure and safe environment through professional service to the University community.

Mike Lane
