The University of Oregon Police Department’s record and dispatch and the University’s Office of Parking and Transportation have separated and permanently moved out of Straub Hall.

The ongoing need for classroom space and in the University and the University’s ongoing attempt to move non-academic services out of the central campus area lead to decision of relocating the UOPD and the DPT. Starting this summer Straub Hall is undergoing renovations, also created the need for all the operations to in the building to be temporally moved out.

The UOPD’s daily crime log has now joined the rest of the UOPD’s operations at the east station on East 15th Ave. The UOPD’s record and dispatch daily crime log lists crimes that have been reported on campus properties and is provided for the public and is updated as crimes are reported. The crime log is located in the entry vestibule of the east station.

The University’s office of Parking and Transportation moved into a their new facility at the former Department of Motor Vehicles building on the corner of Franklin Blvd and Walnut street on June 17.

“We’re really excited about the move because we have a brand new facility and with that come better customer service,” Paula Ellison, Office Manager for the Department of Parking and Transportation said. “More places for people to park when they’re coming to buy parking permits or key access, and so with any new facility it’s going to improve our customer service as well as our operations.”

Along with the relocations, the UOPD and the office of Parking and Transportation have separated and will no longer be working under the same department.

“There’s still some services or personnel and equipment that parking and transportation uses that is part of UOPD, but the two aren’t really under one roof, physically or in terms of our operational focus,” Kelly McIver said.
