Enhancement to Gameday Operations
The University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) continues to look at ways to enhance safety and security on campus and at campus events. In partnership with our allied agencies, there will be an authorized drone in use around SECU Stadium for the 2025 football season.
Fans attending home football games may notice a drone and/or drone detection unit, beginning Saturday, August 30, 2025.
Utilizing a drone for special events, such as football games, provides broader coverage from higher angles and aerial views that can assist in getting information to first responders and provide updates to the community, such as traffic information.
Safety Information
UMPD reminds the community that the University of Maryland is in a restricted airspace area and appropriate authorization is needed from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate a drone on campus.
As always, if you see something, say something! Report suspicious activity and/or behavior immediately to UMPD at 301-405-3333 or through the UMD Guardian app.
