Why does UMass Dartmouth have its own police department?
UMass Dartmouth is a community, and its members should be able to learn, live, work, and take part in recreational activities in an atmosphere that is as safe as possible. The members of the Department of Public Safety are here–24 hours a day, 365 days a year–to provide a professional level of service and to ensure a safe environment for our students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
