What is the UT Southwestern police officer’s authority?
UT Southwestern employs commissioned T.C.L.E.O.S.E. (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education) certified peace officers or police officers that have the legal authority, power, privileges and immunities afforded to all state licensed law enforcement officers in the State of Texas. University police officers can legally arrest persons, execute search or arrest warrants and enforce traffic law in much the same manner as a municipal police officer.
