Richard Miller is paving the way as the first Police Communications Operator (PCO) Administrator for University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Police and Public Safety. 

“It’s both a challenge and an opportunity to explore new pathways while building on the wisdom of senior UMB partners,” Miller says.

Miller brings more than 30 years of experience in emergency services and public safety to UMB. Before joining UMB in April, he worked with organizations such as the Baltimore City Police Department and the National Institutes of Health.

After moving away for work, Miller is excited to be back in his hometown. His first day at UMB was especially memorable as he took on “new beginnings, new relationships, new challenges and opportunities in downtown Baltimore.”

Miller says he has enjoyed connecting with UMB colleagues and gaining a greater understanding of our University and community. As he becomes familiar with UMB, he encourages others to do the same. “Get to know the people, culture, and places where you are!”

Outside of work, Miller enjoys spending time with family and watching the TV series “Alone.”
