Computer Support
Operating a mixed Linux, Novell, and Microsoft Windows environment, The University of Georgia’s Police Department Computer Support Unit maintains the network infrastructure, performs desktop support services, and directly assists in cases which require computer forensics expertise.
Computer Support, the IT/MIS group at UGA's Police Department, works as an integrated unit of the Administration Division in planning upgrades and maintaining existing computer hardware and software that the department depends on to meet the University's goal of keeping campus safe from crime. It is the job of the Computer Support unit to preemptively maintain and upgrade systems to minimize downtime during peek operations, such as football games and other large collegiate events.
Computer Support’s full time staff members each have unique and specialized skills which provide the Police Department with a broad spectrum of support skills for both users and visitors.
In addition to working directly with the CID (Criminal Investigation Division) in solving computer related cases, Computer Support manages the day to day desktop operations in support of its users. Officers and support staff members have access to an information sharing intranet, and a web based email system both from home and at work during office hours. Computer Support also maintains in house server based services like file sharing, network printers, this newly updated website, and it develops in house applications on an as needed basis.
Another goal of Computer Support is to keep the Police Department’s website useful for its visitors. If you have information or you'd like to make a suggestion, Email Computer Support at support@police.uga.edu .
