Campus Safety is Everyone's Business

At the University of Montana, we are committed to creating a safe and secure environment for everyone. Our full-service police department is here to respond to emergencies, but safety is a team effort. Knowing your role during an emergency—and taking the right actions—can make a real difference. What you do in an emergency matters.

Suspicious Activity

UM Police officers can’t be everywhere at once, so we count on our community to be our eyes and ears. Trust your instincts—if something doesn’t seem right, report it. You don’t need to be certain a crime has occurred to contact the police. If something appears suspicious, out of place, or just unusual, call us. A UMPD officer will be happy to check it out. Important details when reporting:

• Who or what you saw
• When you saw it
• Where you saw it
• Why it may be suspicious

How to Report Suspicious Activity

UMPD EMERGENCY - (406) 243-4000 or 911

The U.S. Department of Education electronically publishes the University of Montana's statistical data along with comparable information from other colleges and universities.

GrizWalk is a free service provided by the UM Police Department's GrizWalk Security Team. Student teams provide safe walking or driving escorts anytime between dusk and dawn. If GrizWalk is unavailable, a UM Police Officer will provide the same service.
