A Message from the Desk of Chief Roger D. Byars
From the Chief,
The Texas Southern University Police
Department is a full service police department operating 24 hours
per day, seven days a week. Our central police operations
are currently housed in the General Services Building located at
3443 Blodgett Street, Houston, Texas. The department
consists of sixty-four (64) employees – 40 commissioned
police personnel and 24 civilian employees. The Police
Department provides the TSU community with many services; uniform
patrol, bicycle patrol, motorcycle patrol, criminal
investigations, police records, “video surveillance”
patrol, parking enforcement and crime prevention programs, to
name but a few of our services. The department operates on
an annual budget of approximately $2 million dollars.
The safety and well-being of the Students,
Faculty, Staff and visiting constituents is our number one
priority. We understand our role and responsibility when it
comes to protecting and preserving peace in and around the
campus. It is a role we take very serious. It is our
daily goal to make every individual that crosses this campus feel
safe, secure and free from harm. The police department
prides itself on working as a team, not only within the
department, but also in the community. With collaboration
from the community and other law enforcement agencies, the police
department can identify the core functions and essential services
that are needed to make Texas Southern University one of the
safest campuses in the world.
As Chief of Police, I take my duties and
responsibility extremely serious. Although the task of
overseeing the safety and security of the University is
demanding, I (and all members of TSU Police Department) are up
for the challenge, and committed to the mission, vision and core
values of the University. Please feel free to contact our
Department at anytime, the men and women of the police department
look forward to serving you.
Protecting
Tomorrow’s Leaders…..Today!
