Event Staffing Requests
Update For Special Event Staffing FY2016
The police and security services rates will remain the same for staffing special events effective FY2016. Effective September 1st, 2015 the required minimum charge for staffing an event will be reduced to two hours for each assigned. The rates will be $45/hour for each assigned Police Officer, and $30/hour for Non-Commissioned Uniformed Public Safety Officer providing event police and security services.
With this rate remaining the same, many events held by organizations and offices may realize a cost savings or no cost increase on police and security services for staffing events. Events which require staffing above two hours, will realize a cost increase in correlation to the new rates.
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Police Department (UTRGV PD) is responsible for providing and coordinating police and security service on all UTRGV owned and leased property within statutory jurisdiction. Other law enforcement agencies and contract security services may not be used without prior approval by the UTRGV Police Department.
University Departments planning special events and/or festivals, which are to be hosted on University owned property, must contact the UTRGV Police Department, Parking and Transportation Services and Facilities Management to assess, coordinate police, security needs and access to the location where the event is taking place.
