Our Mission...

. . . is to work in partnership with the campus community to provide the most professional, effective police services possible, while maintaining an environment conducive to learning.

There are three main aspects to our mission:

Safe and Secure

To create an environment conducive to learning by providing continual patrol coverage, complete case investigation, and daily inspection of security systems and equipment. To provide an operational law enforcement agency whose primary function is to serve and protect the campus community. 

Crime Prevention

To provide educational programs to the campus which cultivate awareness and individual participation in reducing opportunities for criminal activity. Target audiences include University Villages children and parents, resident and commuter students, and employees.

Criminal Investigations

To conduct investigations of alleged law violations which are reported to have occurred on the UM campus.  These investigations are completed and referred to the Missoula City, or Missoula County Attorneys Office for review and prosecution.
