Good partners are so important for public safety! IUPD Dep. Superintendent James presented IU Kokomo Chancellor Sciame-Giesecke with a coffee mug, stocking cap & IUPD patch for her continued support of IUPD and for "giving me my first Police Chief job."
Trust us when we say, we will not be the “life of the party.” Stay home. Save lives. Don’t place our first responders in jeopardy. IUPD will be expanding patrols to off-campus neighborhoods.

When you're socializing or out late, don't ditch your friends. If using a ride-hailing service, take precautions every time! Make sure it's the right vehicle & don't get in if the driver doesn't know your name
We are actively monitoring weather in the Bloomington and Indianapolis areas and are aware of possible power outages. If immediate action is needed an IU Notify alert will be sent.
After more than two decades,
