🚨 June is National Safety Month! 🚨

Safety is a shared responsibility, and small actions can make a big difference in creating a safer campus for everyone.

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing important campus safety tips and resources focused on:
🔐 Digital Safety
🎒 Theft Prevention
🚦🚲🛴 Traffic, Bicycle & E-Scooter Safety

By staying informed and looking out for one another, we can help keep our campus safe, welcoming, and prepared.

For even more safety resources, tools, and campus support services, download the Bobcat Safety App!

Follow along all month long for practical tips, reminders, and resources to help protect yourself and our campus community.

🌈 Happy Pride Month!
As we celebrate Pride Month, the Pride pin serves as a symbol of UCMPD's commitment to supporting and serving all members of our campus community. More than a pin, it represents awareness, inclusion, and the importance of creating a safe and welcoming environment where everyone feels respected and valued.

💚 Mental Health Matters 💚

During Mental Health Awareness Month, our department staff proudly wore green pins to promote inclusion on campus, raise awareness, and show support for mental wellness while helping reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.

We’re also proud to announce that our Police Department has secured a Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMHWA) grant to support officer wellness initiatives for our department members. This funding will help expand wellness resources, strengthen peer support efforts, and promote the overall well-being of our personnel.

As part of these efforts, we will also be hosting a Peer Support Training for law enforcement agencies June 22–24.

Together, we continue building a stronger, healthier, and more supportive community. 💚
