It is my distinct honor and privilege to serve as Chief of Police for the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The UMBC Police Department serves as a cornerstone of our comprehensive commitment to maintaining a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for our students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Our department is composed of highly experienced and diverse law enforcement professionals, skilled police communications specialists, and dedicated civilian staff who work together to deliver full-service policing with integrity and compassion. Above all, we are committed to building strong, positive partnerships with every member of the UMBC community, our most valuable resource in keeping our campus safe.
We firmly believe that the most effective crime prevention stems from mutual trust, open communication, and genuine collaboration between the police department and the community we proudly serve. This teamwork approach has been the foundation of our success and remains essential to preserving the safe and vibrant campus community we all value.
Safety is not created by the police alone. It is built through shared responsibility, strong relationships, and a community that looks out for one another. Our commitment begins with presence by being visible, accessible, and genuinely connected each day. We see our campus community as our greatest partner in fostering an environment where students can learn, grow, and succeed. We value these relationships and encourage open dialogue and collaboration as we move forward together. We remain committed not only to the safety of today, but to the long-term wellbeing of our campus, and we will continue to serve as a steady and dependable presence, especially in times of need.
