The Indiana University Police Department: To Protect and Serve
The Indiana University Police Department (IUPD) is an integral and valuable asset of every campus at Indiana University. Whether managing a crisis, creating programs to address social justice, prejudice, and discrimination issues, or improving traffic and pedestrian safety, the individuals of the IUPD are committed to serving as a partner for IU’s campus communities.
