Parking/Motor Vehicle Regulations
The University provides parking for all University personnel (faculty,
staff, and students) on a space available basis. All vehicles operated
on campus must be registered and have a valid permit on display. During
registration periods, students can register their vehicles after paying

Police Department Station located at the registration site. After registration,
permits are available at the University Police Department in the Washington

carries with it the obligation to observe and comply with all parking
rules and regulations.
Police and Public Safety
The Morgan State University Department of Police and Public Safety
is a law enforcement agency with academy-trained, sworn police officers.
The department is committed to the philosophy of community policing
and works diligently to develop, foster and maintain viable partnerships
for the expressed purpose of improving the quality of life for our entire
campus community.
University police officers are vested with all the powers, authority,
and responsibilities of any police officer of the state on property
owned, leased or operated by the University.
The Department of Police and Public Safety cooperates fully with local
and state law enforcement agencies in cases which involve both on-campus
and off-campus jurisdictions, or when the resources of another agency
can be used to facilitate the resolution of an investigation or public
safety issue.
Members of the University community are urged to notify the Department
of Police and Public Safety immediately of any criminal activity or
other public safety concern or issue. In addition, emergency (no dial)
security telephones are installed at selected locations throughout the
University campus grounds.
The Department of Police and Public Safety publishes news articles
and news bulletins, and provides oral presentations to all segments
of the campus community on a frequent basis to educate community members
on police policies and procedures. Students and employees are reminded
of recurring or significant crime problems on the campus and their role
and responsibility in reducing their vulnerability in becoming victims.
The Department of Police and Public Safety publishes pamphlets and
conducts workshops on various topics of Crime Prevention. Topics include:
Police Protection and Security Services, General Crime Prevention Techniques,
Campus Watch, Operation I.D., Rape and Sexual Assault, Date Rape, and
Drug and Alcohol Abuse. Information on safety and security is provided
to students, faculty, and staff members regularly through seminars,
films, bulletins, crime alerts, posters, brochures, and university staff
and student newspapers and other university periodicals.
