Earlier this summer, members of the University of Florida and the greater Gainesville community gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the UF Public Safety Building. 

The event included a Flag Raising Ceremony along with special remarks made by Vice President for Business Affairs, Curtis Reynolds, Assistant Vice President of Public and Environmental Safety, Chief Linda Stump-Kurnick, and UFPD Chaplain Bishop Christopher Stokes.

Kudos to Katherine De Armas, Police Communications Officer (PCO), for her instrumental role in a recent apprehension of theft crime suspects. While working the midnight shift, De Armas was able to successfully utilize the camera system to locate the suspects. We appreciate Katherines' quick responsiveness and excellent work!

The University of Florida Police Department was recently honored for being a national leader in mental health initiatives and programs.

The recognition was presented to UFPD through a plaque that recognizes the department’s work as a Law Enforcement-Mental Health Learning Site, a program within the Bureau of Justice Assistance.

The UF Latinx Staff & Faculty Association (LSFA) and Association of Black Faculty & Staff (ABFS) cordially invite you and your families to the annual summer picnic on Saturday, July 29 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Cypress Lodge at Lake Wauburg North Shore.

This free annual potluck-style social gathering unites members from all areas of UF to nurture community and establish connections.

Safety Enforcement Reminder

As a reminder, beginning July 31, citations will be issued for vehicles violating parking regulations. This extends to university-owned service and delivery vehicles, and golf carts. TAPS will notify departments or colleges connected to the cited vehicle by email.

We understand that parking on campus can be a challenge for all, especially hard-working staff providing vital services to our community. To that end, Business Affairs Technical Services created an app to aid internal and external partners in finding parking across campus.
