UW Police Department

Officer Ellrodt and K9 Sam participated in the Seahawks parade today! Go Hawks!🏈🎉🏆

We will be holding a blood drive on Wednesday, February 18, 10:00 am-4:00 pm. Scheduled appointments and walk-ins both welcome!

✔️ Have a game plan for getting home safely - use your Husky Card for a free-to-you ride on bus or light rail, use a taxi or rideshare service or walk home safely with a sober friend or two. Big plays, great snacks, and a safe night for everyone—now that’s a win.

✔️ Be a party MVP - volunteer to be a designated driver. ✔️ Enjoy a winning party - have plenty of snacks and nonalcoholic drinks. If you do have a drink of any kind, know where it's coming from and what's in it. Don't leave your beverage unattended.

🏈🎉We have some 12s at UWPD (especially the lieutenant that fit a jersey over his uniform)! Wherever you're cheering for the Seahawks, let’s celebrate the Super Bowl the Husky way—smart, safe and looking out for each other.🏆💜 #SaferTogether #SuperBowlSunday

This past week was our annual barbecue at UWPD! Delicious food grilled by Chief Wilson himself, an assortment of pies and other sweets, nice weather, and visits by friends from other departments, such as DCCS and Facilities, it was a lovely way to kickstart the summer!

Yesterday, Marysville Gurdwara’s Gatka team (invited by UW’s Sikh Student Association, who had their annual 1984 display on Red Square) visited UWPD! The parents were very happy meet the officers and dispatchers, and to learn that one of our officers also speaks Hindi!

Officer Gruby's swearing in ceremony was yesterday! It was a great turnout, with attendance from both UWPD and DCCS, and a selection of snacks, refreshments, and cake!
