The University of Miami Police Department has several resources for the UM community to ensure everyone always feels and is safe on campus. The following are all available at no cost to students, faculty and staff at the UM. When traveling around campus, the University of Miami offers two escort options to make sure students make it to their destination safely and worry-free. The first is the UMPD 24/7 Safety Escort Service, available all day on any day, including holidays and school breaks. When you call the number, a UM Police employee or security officer will meet you within 15 minutes and either walk with you or transport you to your destination. Students can use this resource as many times as they need. The other option is Safe Ride, which is an on-demand transportation service operating Monday through Friday between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. The service picks up and drops off within the perimeter of the Coral Gables campus.
