Chief's Welcome

Chief Chris Havens

I would like to welcome you to the Dallas Baptist University Police Department website. The DBU Police Department was formed in 2014 and consists of professionally trained and licensed Texas peace officers and support staff who strive to serve according to the model and mission of biblical servant leadership. The members of the DBU PD understand that our role extends beyond serving and protecting our faculty, staff, students, and visitors. As members of the University family, we believe our existence is a vital part of enhancing student growth and development during their time spent at DBU as they study and prepare to be agents of change in our culture today. We strive to make sure the Dallas Baptist University campus remains one of the safest in the state by continuously evaluating campus policing and security practices while also training for scenarios that are in line with current events around the world. Please contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns at (214) 333‑5555 or via email at  police@dbu.edu.
