A UMD Community Alert was issued this morning for the report of a robbery with a weapon off-campus. Below is information that was sent out to the campus community.

An update from Lights On! (posted on UMPD News on 07/22/2025): We are suspending all Lights On! program operations effective immediately. For nearly a decade, Lights On! has worked to build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve by replacing equipment violation tickets with free repair vouchers. This program has helped low-income drivers stay on the road legally and safely—and changed thousands of lives.

Dear Campus Community, As we continue to go about our day-to-day activities while navigating the unknown that is this pandemic, I want to share with you what we have been working on these last couple of months. My hope is that this information not only provides insight into our department but also provides opportunities for a more community-centered approach to safety and security. And most importantly, I hope this update helps you keep yourselves and our community safe.
