Community Policing
The Miami University Police Department has a number of Community Oriented Policing (COP) programs in place for the benefit of the University community.
Miami University Police
The Miami University Police Department (MUPD) is composed of 29 sworn police officers commissioned by the State of Ohio, 6 communication specialists, and 4 civilian support staff. Our mission is to maintain a safe community through collaboration, service, protection, and enforcement with the goal of achieving a collective vision for a better future.
Safety Tips and Resources
On a day-to-day basis, situations may occur that affect the safety of individuals or groups at Miami. Miami offers many resources to support safety on campus.
Services
Ensuring the safety and well-being of the community, the Miami University Police Department takes pride in providing a diverse range of services on a regular basis.
Emergency Procedures and Contacts
In the event of a natural disaster or large-scale emergency, Miami will use its Emergency Notification System to communicate emergency information. This may include texts, emails, VoIP phone messages, computer screen alerts, and more. Depending on the situation, emails could also be sent to the emergency contacts (parents, guardians) that students have specified.
Rave Guardian Safety App
The Rave Guardian application is available to members of the university community at no cost for Android and iOS smartphones. Download from the Apple Store or Google Play.
MU students and staff must register here first before downloading and logging into the Rave Guardian App.
