It is my honor and privilege to be a part of the UMBC community and to serve as the Chief of Police. The UMBC Police Department is the cornerstone of a comprehensive institutional strategy to maintain a safe environment for our students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
The UMBC Police Department is comprised of experienced diverse police professionals who provide full-service law enforcement responsibilities, police communication professionals who provide a first point of contact for police services, and a highly trained civilian staff who support our mission. More importantly, the UMBC Police Department facilitates a positive and active relationship with you, the members of our community, who are our most important resource in keeping UMBC the safe and secure institution we have all come to enjoy.
The most important crime prevention efforts are accomplished through mutual trust, cooperation, and collaboration between the Police Department and the community we serve and of which we are a part. Our agency’s continued success is largely attributable to this teamwork approach with each and every member of the UMBC community to collectively take an active interest in the safety of our institution and community members.
