The CMU Police Department employs over 20 police officers commissioned by the Michigan Commission Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES). Police authority is through provisions of Public Act 120 of 1990 and additional powers through the City of Mount Pleasant.
Chief's welcome
The Central Michigan University Police Department works in partnership with the entire campus community to maintain a safe and secure living and learning environment. The CMU Police Department includes highly trained State of Michigan-certified police officers who work collaboratively with our community and law enforcement partners. We are also proud to maintain a 24-hour public safety answering point for emergency and non-emergency calls.
We are a department that is professional, prepared, and proactive. Through our community policing efforts, we build trust with the community we serve.
I am excited to be the Chief of Police at CMU, and I look forward to what the future holds for our department and this great university. Planning, educating, and enforcing all play a role in keeping our students, faculty, staff, and visitors safe. That is our number one priority!
