🚓 During National Police Week, we recognize the Purdue University Police Department for their commitment to keeping campus safe. In addition to providing around-the-clock emergency services, PUPD offers outreach programs such as de-escalation and active threat training, along with safety services like Safe Walk, fingerprinting and device registration.

These efforts help equip the campus community with the tools and knowledge to stay safe and informed.

If you have the opportunity this week, take a moment to thank a member of PUPD for their service.
