A UT Police Study Task Force appointed by Chancellor Quinn employed Ron Mason, chief of the University of Missouri Police Department, serving as a consultant for the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, to make recommendations about improving the department and confidence in the department. He issued his report in August 1991, and two major recommendations were that the Police Department did not have sufficient space and that the parking and parking enforcement functions should be separated from police responsibilities.
Parking Services was separated from the UT Police Department and relocated to a structure formerly used by the UT Credit Union on White Avenue and Fifteenth Street, behind Hoskins Library, and an adjacent portable building. The Police Department then expanded in its location on UT Drive. The escort van service (which served forty thousand students annually at the time) and had been extended into the Fort Sanders area in May, was transferred from the UT Police Department to Parking Services in summer 1992. Parking Services relocated to two locations—a business office in the university center and the warehouse at 2121 Stephenson Drive—in 1999 in order to make way for the building of a surge space facility (Senter Hall) that was needed to relocate activities from Hesler Biology Building while that building was under renovation. The business office was subsequently closed as a cost-cutting measure.
