Dear Campus Community,
As we celebrate 4th of July, USM PD is also celebrating its inaugural Podcast of ”Paw and Order – The Fur-tastic Tails of Campus policing” which focuses on our introduction of Body Worn Cameras on campus featuring Deputy Chief Tim Farwell. This podcast is available to listen to here. This has been a project which was built off a Task Force review of USM campus policing in 2021. We will begin rolling these cameras out over the next month and would love to feature a positive video of the month of our campus community!
USM PD is currently in the process of preparing all our emergency plans across our 3 campuses. We are working with the Department of Homeland Security and getting all our internal spaces mapped via an Infrastructure Visualization Platform (IVP). This will allow us to have virtual insight into all our campuses spaces which we can also share with external agencies, should the need arise. This creates another addition in our safety build out. Please feel free to chat with us as we map the campus over the next couple of months.
We hope everyone is enjoying the summer break or summer classes and we look forward to welcoming our Freshers in September 2024!
Take care and stay safe,
Sincerely,
Gráinne Perkins, PhD.
Chief of Police
