As the University of Oregon Police Department reduces its number of armed officers, unarmed community service officers will take their place with expanded roles around campus, according to a campus-wide email Nov. 9 from UO President Michael Schill that listed new reforms to UOPD.
UOPD Chief Matt Carmichael said that the department will hire nine new CSOs. The extension of their roles includes posted positions around campus, 24/7 response from CSOs and taking over the jobs previously held by armed officers of patrolling campus buildings used primarily by students.
“I look at this as a pathway to service. I'm your chief. I'm responsible for ensuring every student has fair and equitable access to the police department,” Carmichael said.
