University Police Services

The Montana State University Police Department is comprised of 15 full-time police officers, four part-time police officers, four parking enforcement specialists, two visitor information assistants, an administrative officer, and nine dispatchers. The Department provides police and emergency services on a continual 24-hour basis throughout the year. The police department is located in the Roy Huffman Building and is open at all times to the public. The Department maintains the Police Blotter at the front desk, which is accessible to the public and provides the most recent reports of police activity.


The Montana State University Police Department is a full service police department with emphasis on “Community Policing” and partnerships within the university community. Montana Code Annotated guides the Department; the jurisdiction of the Department is the campus of MSU and an area within one mile of the campus for university related matters. All university police officers are sworn officers with arrest powers and are trained in compliance with the Montana Board of Crime Control.


Members of the department are truly dedicated to the concept of providing both a timely and effective service to the university community and its visitors. The Department utilizes police cars, bicycles, and foot patrols to ensure accessibility to the community on a 24-hour basis. Department staff routinely provides a myriad of public safety services such as jump starts and unlocking cars, first responder for medical assistance, personal safety escorts and money escorts, motorists assistance, security checks in the family housing areas, and assistance with campus directions and information. Police officers conduct traffic accident investigation, criminal investigations, traffic enforcement, law enforcement, security patrols of campus buildings and common areas, response to fire alarms, security at athletic and concert events, and crime prevention activities such as presentations to student organizations and registration of student bicycles.
