Description

The University of North Texas Police Department is looking for an experienced Detective to join our Criminal Investigative Services team.

Working with the UNT Police Department will be an experience you won’t get elsewhere. The UNT campus, including our police department, is a tight-knit and community that supports our students, faculty, and staff. With more than 40,000 students, UNT is one of the largest university in Texas. Many of our officers are UNT graduates or students because we highly value education and training. That emphasis led our department to a rare dual accreditation, showing both our concern for our community and our dedication to professionalism.

Our 48 state-certified police officers enforce municipal and state laws and UNT policies while providing service to campus 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

The department has full law enforcement jurisdiction within the UNT campus, city of Denton, and any county where UNT maintains property. We proudly serve these areas, taking time to get to know our community and partnering with them to provide a safe environment for their learning and professional development.

Salary - commensurate with experience.
