Public Safety
The Department of Public Safety at the University of Central Missouri is responsible for all law enforcement and safety on the UCM campus. Located at 306 Broad Street, Public Safety works closely with the Warrensburg Police Department, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Public Safety oversees University Police, Parking Services, and Access Control. The department provides numerous personal safety and awareness resources and programs designed to keep you safe on campus.
24/7 Police Presence
The largest division of the Public Safety department is University Police. UCM has a full-time dispatching center and 18 full-time, state-certified and fully trained peace officers. They are always on duty. Our Safe Team made up of student employees patrols the campus at night to help prevent crime and offer walking escorts. UCMAlerts keeps you up to date with notifications about emergencies, weather and other important UCM-related information.
UCMAlerts
UCMAlerts are notifications sent via email, text message and push notification to members of the campus community. They provide essential information about campus closures, safety alerts, emergencies, severe weather and other significant UCM updates. UCMAlerts uses the Everbridge notification system.
UCM employees and students are automatically enrolled in UCMAlerts powered by Everbridge, and parents can sign up to receive notifications.

Meet Director Bill Brinkley
Welcome to the University of Central Missouri Public Safety Department website!
I am Chief Bill Brinkley, and I am honored to serve the UCM community.
The Public Safety Department is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all members and visitors. We do this through our three divisions: Police, Access Control, and Parking.
Our police officers patrol the campus 24/7, responding to calls for service, and investigating crimes. We work closely with the university administration, faculty, staff, and students to prevent crime and promote safety. We also work as part of a larger team with the Warrensburg Police Department, Johnson County Sheriff's Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and many other federal law enforcement agencies.
I encourage you to visit our website to learn more about our department and the services we offer. You can also contact us at any time if you have a question, concern, or need assistance.
