The University of Colorado Boulder Police Department (CUPD) encourages applications for a Police Officer (Recruit and Lateral)! CUPD Police Officers prevent, solve, and document criminal activity to maintain order. Their duties can include conducting various methods of patrol, arresting violators, filing criminal cases with prosecuting attorneys' offices, responding to emergencies, and providing a wide range of citizen assistance. Police Officers work special events including athletic events, distinguished speakers and lecturers, and concerts. Police Officers will routinely solve issues that require heightened decision-making abilities and use analysis and individual discretion to make choices affecting others and the campus at large. Police Officer Recruits attend and successfully pass the police academy and the CUPD Police Training Officer (PTO) program in their first year. Upon successful completion of the police academy, the Police Training Officer (PTO) Program, and a probationary period, they are promoted to the position of Police Officer.
