Campus Safety

Campus safety is one of the University of Maryland’s highest priorities. Maryland is an open, expansive university located between two large metropolitan areas. Public Safety is a full-service police force using a comprehensive network of safety measures that includes emergency phones, closed-circuit cameras, and a 24-hour police escort service. Emergency notification measures also include a campus siren system and free text messaging for the community. Together, these measures ensure a comfortable, welcoming environment that allows students to live, learn and grow.
