Take a moment to learn about our Community Outreach and Support Team (COAST), employment opportunities, services like our Safe Walk/Safe Ride program, and more. We hope you’ll take advantage of all the programs and services we have to offer. 

As Chief of Police, I’m committed to UMB’s core values and values-based policing. Our police and security officers can be found throughout campus and are dedicated to the safety of our students, employees, and visitors. I hope you’ll take a moment to say hello. We look forward to your questions, feedback, and suggestions.
