The University of Minnesota provides police services to its Twin Cities and Duluth campuses in an effort to provide safety and security to the campuses and their surrounding communities.


The University of Minnesota Duluth Police Department (UMDPD) is a state-licensed police department which employs 12 officers, including the chief, one lieutenant and two sergeants. Its jurisdiction includes all academic buildings, parking facilities and property surrounding the facilities, roadways owned by the University of Minnesota Duluth, as well as property owned, leased or operated by the university.


Neighborhoods and business districts surrounding UMD fall under the jurisdiction of the Duluth Police Department (DPD), though UMDPD often assists other agencies such as DPD or the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Department.


UMDPD logged 7 responses between Nov. 28 and Dec. 4, a 36% decrease from the week prior.  The log is updated online every five minutes, according to UMDPD’s website. Log entries involving traffic stops and/or speeding are omitted from this posting unless the offense is further described.
