The University of North Texas Police Department recently announced the promotion of Dana Mays to Police Administrative Services Administrator. In her new role, Mays will be tasked with overseeing the Administrative Staff and the Community Engagement Team in addition to her ongoing support of the Property & Evidence section. The announcement, made via the University of North Texas Police Department's social media, praises her three years of dedicated service to the UNT Police Department and her extensive 29-year background in the 9-1-1 industry.
According to the department's statement, Mays brings "experience and leadership," which they believe will be crucial as the department continues to move forward. Mays' tenure with UNT has seen her steadily rise through the ranks, and this promotion is a nod to her vast industry knowledge and capability to drive engagement between the police department and the community. Her promotion is positioned to significantly impact both community relations and internal administrative processes.
The UNT Police Department's announcement comes at a time when law enforcement agencies are increasingly focusing on community outreach and engagement. Mays' role will seemingly help to further bridge the gap between the police and the public they serve. With nearly three decades in public service, her expertise is expected to evolve the department's approach to community interaction.
