UMD Annual Security Report Available
The 2013 Annual Security Report is presented for your review. It is my pleasure to report that the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Violent Crimes report continues to see a decrease over the past five years. Community involvement and proactive law enforcement by our officers and allied agencies in the area are to credit for such positive results. In an effort to further the downward trend of violent crime on campus and off campus, we have formed CMAST - the City Multi-Agency Service Team. CMAST was formed by the University of Maryland Police Department and is comprised of stakeholders from the University (Office of Administration & Finance, Office of Student Conduct, Office of Fraternity/Sorority Life, Resident Life, UMPD, University Health Center, CPVFD, Environmental Safety), the City (City Manager, City Council, Code Enforcement, Public Works, and contract police), the County (PGPD, Liquor Board, Prince George’s Property Owners’ Association), and the State (Office of the State’s Attorney). In monthly meetings, CMAST’s main function is to discuss, analyze, and address concerns and quality of life issues and collaboratively plan for events within our shared community.
Our report provides safety and security information to current and prospective students and their parents, as well as to faculty and staff members. Statistics comparing crime over the previous three years are outlined in the report. In addition to outlining the different security resources the campus has to offer, the report also provides statistics on area crime reported to on off-campus law enforcement agencies as well as to several University departments that report data back to our Police Department. The Clery Act does not require the reporting of statistics for the crime of theft, which, by far, is the most commonly reported criminal offense on campus. Other property crimes reportable through Clery include Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft and Arson.
The men and women of the University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) are responsible for keeping the UMD campus and surrounding areas safe and secure. Programs and resources that we provide include the following, which are highlighted in the report:
- Walking escorts
- Closed circuit video monitoring via our Security Operations Center
- Automated License Plate Readers
- Emergency Alert System
- Patrols by uniformed officers
- Explosive detection K9 unit
- Crime prevention programs
- Criminal and traffic law enforcement, reporting, and investigation
- Student Police Auxiliary
- Emergency 911 center
This brochure is a part of the effort to ensure that this collaborative endeavor is effective and is in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. We hope you will read the brochure carefully and use the information to help foster a safer environment for you and for others within our community.
Reviewing the information outlined in this brochure will increase your awareness, which will promote future action.
