Public Safety Events
Public Safety hosts events throughout the year to engage with the Roadrunner community. We enjoy meeting our students, faculty and staff!
Our staff and officers work to create quality events that not only provide education and resources, but also create a space where we can build connections, which is one of our key priorities. We encourage you to explore our events held throughout the year.
Fall Semester
National Night Out
Celebrate National Night Out at UT San Antonio—a free evening of food, games, music and safety awareness activities. Connect with the university's police department, meet fellow Roadrunners and enjoy a fun, relaxed setting that builds trust and strengthens our community. Join us the first Tuesday in October!
Spring Semester
Stalking: Know it. Name it. Stop it.
January is National Stalking Awareness Month, and we seek to raise awareness for the campus community. We hold an in-depth conversation on what stalking is and how to recognize it, what university resources are available, and most importantly, how to keep yourself safe.
Recurring Events
The following events reoccur throughout the year.
Stay Roadrunner Safe
A collaborative safety and education initiative that brings together UT San Antonio Public Safety and campus partners to provide the Roadrunner community with practical information, resources and interactive activities.
Tabling events cover a variety of topics, including alcohol awareness and responsible decision-making, personal and campus safety, crime prevention, emergency preparedness and situational awareness. Participants can also learn about Public Safety services and resources, including safety escorts, SafeZone and other tools designed to help keep the UT San Antonio community safe, informed and connected.
Coffee With an Officer
Coffee With an Officer is aimed at building better relationships between members of our university police force and the campus community as we work together to improve overall safety at our multiple locations. This program brings together officers and our campus community members – over coffee – to discuss issues and learn more about each other.
Bike Theft Prevention
Public Safety is expanding outreach near high-traffic bike racks and campus housing and providing students with accessible security resources and best practices. These events empower Roadrunners to take an active role in protecting their property and preventing bicycle theft, making a lasting impact on campus bicycle security. In partnership with Campus Services, Public Safety offers bicycle registration, including a free U-lock while supplies last. Public Safety also promotes free bicycle engraving to help identify and recover stolen bicycles.
Self-Defense Classes
We offer students the opportunity to learn self-defense techniques and safety tips to keep themselves safe when they are out in the community.
Car Care Clinic
We partner with Valvoline as they perform safety checks on student vehicles prior to the start of winter and summer breaks. They check fluid levels, tire pressure, windshield wipers and headlights. They also provide free pizza while students wait in their car.
