Buffalo State UPD

This past week, UPD was all over campus assisting our new and returning students with their move back to the residence halls.

The first step to joining UPD is to take the NYS Civil Service Exam, which is only scheduled every couple years. Don't miss your chance! The exam is on September 28th. The deadline to sign up for the exam is August 14th. More information is available at suny.edu/police/recruit…
