WatchDog Residence Hall Liaison Officers

Each UNC Asheville Police Officer is assigned to a residence hall. Officers conduct regular walkthroughs of their buildings and check in with the Resident Assistants and Community Directors. The program is meant to help students develop relationships with their liaison officers and ensure they know officers are available as a resource to solve issues and provide advice. Officers also assist with sexual assault, alcohol, and drug programming, often in conjunction with Residential Education staff.
