To the Miami University Community,
Below you will find important statistics in regards to Use of Force, Bias Based Policing and our Community Oriented Policing programs. We will continue to post this information annually so community members can be aware of this important information. MUPD will continue to participate in the Ohio Collaborative for Community-Police Relations certification program for law enforcement agencies.
