Mission Statement

In support of the mission of James Madison University, the JMU Police Department is dedicated to developing partnerships with the community we serve to enhance the goal of providing quality higher education. We will earn the public's trust through community engagement to:

Support academic freedom, respect diversity, protect civil and human rights, and provide a safe environment to foster the open exchange of ideas.

We will work collaboratively to prevent crime and disorder through a compassionate and empathetic police department, supporting our students, faculty, and staff in their goals to lead productive and meaningful lives.
