Blue (The Police Dog)
WOOF! 🐾 I’m Blue, MUPD’s community outreach dog. If you see me on campus, stop and say hi! Tag your pics with me as #mupdblue!

More than 450 Blue Light Phones are located throughout campus and in the nearby neighborhood. Blue Light phones have cameras that are always recording.
By picking up the phone, a caller is connected with MUPD immediately. The communications officer will know the location of the caller and will dispatch assistance immediately if needed.
Blue Light Phones can be used for non-emergency situations such as directions, vehicle lockouts and jump-starts.
