Accountability and Transparency

We are Listening

Recent events turned a national spotlight on policing, specifically the policing of under-represented and marginalized groups. UMPD was not exempt from that spotlight. We work in close partnership with the Dean of Students Office, Center for Multicultural Advancement and Student Success, Environmental Health & Safety, the Center for Women and Community and many other on-campus agencies. We listen and engage with the Office of Equity and Inclusion and all community members to ensure questions are answered and concerns addressed, the UMass Police Department's Community Police Advisory Board is one of the conduits to answer questions. The Community Police Advisory Board consists of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff and makes recommendations on safety, policing matters and improving police/community communications.
