All Marquette students, faculty, staff, guests and visitors are reminded to:
  • Always travel in pairs or groups, being aware of your surroundings at all times. Make sure someone knows when you leave and when to expect you back.

  • When on campus, use the LIMO services provided by MUPD. Call (414) 288-6363 to request a LIMO.

  • During evening hours watch for the LIMO with strobe lights patrolling the perimeters of campus; the driver may ask if you want a ride.

  • The use of alcohol by students under age 21 is against the law and against university policy.

  • If you do plan to drink, be responsible, and do so in moderation.

  • When using a ride-sharing service or taxi for transportation, please take steps to ensure your safety:

  • Make sure to match your driver’s name, car and license plate with the information provided through the app on your phone.

  • Avoid anyone who offers a ride when it is not clear that they are directly affiliated with an established taxi or ride-sharing service.

  • If you observe any suspicious behavior or fear for your safety at any time, contact MUPD at (414) 288-1911 or through one of the more than 450 blue light phones on and near campus.

  • Enter MUPD’s number in your phone so you have it handy at all times.

  • Download MUPD’s free safety app, EagleEye. The app features a mobile BlueLight feature that connects you directly to MUPD and sends the device’s location in real-time.

  • Travel on well-lit, busy streets and avoid walking through alleys and parking lots.

  • Be aware of places along your path of travel that could conceal a criminal (shrubbery, building recesses, etc.). Avoid or keep a distance from these areas whenever possible.

  • Take note of suspicious vehicles, especially those that appear to be circling the block or driving unusually slow. If you observe a suspicious vehicle, relay its description and location to MUPD using one of the more than 450 blue light phones on and near campus.

  • If you think someone is following you, cross the street, head for a well-populated, well-lit area and contact MUPD using one of the more than 450 blue light phones on and near campus.

  • Do not become distracted by talking on your cell phone or listening to music through headphones at a high volume.

  • If approached, give up your property.
