Centennial Court Mavericks, have you had the chance to meet your Neighborhood Police Officer?

Today’s NPO Spotlight is Officer Gregory Finney. He bravely served our country in the U.S Army for 22 years and has been with UTA PD for 5 years. Finney loves home interior design, Christmas and is a car enthusiast. When you see him, make sure to thank him for his service!

The UT Arlington Police Department has been awarded by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) for the 2020 National Night Out event. The department was one of only two Colleges or Universities in the nation to be awarded this year. This marks the ninth year in a row that UTA PD has been awarded by NATW for National Night Out activities.

In light of the pandemic, the department identified a safe, alternative method to participate in the National Night Out campaign by having a walk through event during the day in the University Center mall. Participants were provided with crime prevention information, swag, and an opportunity to ask questions with UTA Police Officers.

The department thanks everyone who stopped by the event and recognizes the work of our team to provide an innovative approach to this engagement activity during a pandemic.
