University of Nebraska-Lincoln updates officer uniforms
In an effort to increase approachability and solidify their safety roles within residence halls, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department (UNLPD) updated its community service officer uniforms.
The new uniforms of red polo and khaki pants are designed to make students more comfortable around officers and help build relationships between the security staff and residence life. The old uniform mimicked university police uniforms and sometimes led students to feel like security team members were patrolling halls to enforce rules rather than serve as protectors, according to the university.
