Special Events
The UTPD Police Special Events Section is responsible for coordinating police presence at athletic events, concert and other special events on campus. The University of Tennessee plays host to over 500 events each year, and the UTPD provides traffic control, interior patrol and crowd control personnel for each of these events. To supplement it's ranks, the UTPD also employs officers from surrounding law enforcement agencies to assist at events. The Knox County Sheriff's Office and the Knox County School Division are just two of the agencies that assist us. The office of Special Events also provides Police protection and escorts for visiting football teams and other dignitaries involved in University functions.
If your department is hosting an event you must register your event with the Dean of Students Office and the UT Police Department. This process starts with the filing of a solicitation / event form which can be completed on line and forwarded to the Dean of Students. If you need additional information or have questions concerning an event contact Sergeant Vince Busico at 865.974.6262.
