NAU Police

NAU Police This page features the Northern Arizona University Police Department (and its divisions), which serves the campus and community in Flagstaff, Arizona.

The NAU Police Department has primary jurisdiction for all law enforcement matters occurring on the Flagstaff Mountain Campus and is authorized to employ twenty-one police officers. NAU police officers are duly sworn peace officers, certified by the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST). Each officer is required to maintain the same skills, training, and qualifications as oth

er police officers in the state, and in many cases receives even more specialized training in order to serve the university community. NAU police officers are authorized to carry fi****ms and are empowered to enforce state and federal laws (apprehend and arrest) within the limits imposed by the state and federal constitutions and judicial rulings. The department and its members have the duty and authority to provide police and other quality safety services to the mountain campus to include crime prevention activities, responding to calls for service, investigating crimes, arresting violators, and offering educational programs to enhance personal safety. The NAU Police Department is a nationally accredited professional law enforcement organization. The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) awarded NAU PD its first accreditation award in 1995 at which time the NAU Police Department was the sixth police department in Arizona and the ninth university police department in the United States to achieve accreditation. In March 2015, CALEA awarded the NAU Police Department its seventh re-accreditation. The department was re-accredited under CALEA’s Gold Standard and was also awarded the “With Excellence” designation.

Thank you to Travis “Chef T” Bradford for helping make our First Responders Chili Cookoff at the Flagstaff Chili Festival a success by generously sharing his kitchen and lending his expertise. His support helped us serve great chili, make a lot of people happy, and prove that firefighters aren't the only ones who can cook!🍽️

🚨 Protect Yourself from Phone Scams 🚨

Members of our community have reported receiving calls that appear to come from NAUPD's non-emergency phone number. These calls are not always legitimate. Scammers can "spoof" phone numbers to make them appear trustworthy.

If someone claiming to be a police officer: • Demands money • Pressures you to act immediately • Claims there is a case, warrant, or legal issue against you and will not provide detailed information

➡️ Hang up and call our non-emergency line directly to verify the information. DO NOT send money or provide personal or financial information.

⚠️NAUPD will never instruct you to pay fines, warrants, or other fees using kiosks, gifts cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or other unconventional methods.

You have every right to verify a caller's identity. If you're unsure, contact us at (928) 523-3611 or stop by our police station at 525 E. Pine Knoll Dr. Flagstaff AZ, 86011

Help us spread the word and keep our community informed.
