**For Immediate Release** SAFEHORNS HONORED WITH PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR WEST CAMPUS LIGHTING INITIATIVE
AUSTIN, Texas (08/29/2025) – SafeHorns, a nonprofit parent-led safety advocacy group, welcomes The University of Texas at Austin’s announcement on Tuesday of expanded University of Texas Police Department (UTPD) patrols in West Campus. This development marks a milestone in a nearly decade-long effort by parents and community members to improve safety for students living and learning near campus.
Safety Initiatives in UT Austin’s West Campus
The University of Texas Police Department is designated solely to protect the students living within the 431 acres that campus encompasses, leaving a sizable proportion of students living off-campus completely out of their jurisdiction.
College Safety: Why it Matters
As a parent of a student at the University of Texas at Austin, your child's safety is likely at the forefront of your mind. And rightly so. The importance of college safety cannot be overstated. With a campus that spans over 430 acres with over 50,000 students, it's essential to take steps to ensure the safety of our Texas Longhorns – on and off-campus.
