Make safety and security your #1 priority

Stay safe

Registering your personal belongings, such as your phone, laptop, tablet or bike with MUPD can increase the likelihood of recovering them if they are ever lost or stolen. Be sure to review safety tips and our general safety overview course as we begin the school year.
