A walking personal safety escort service is available Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM. You may request this service by calling:
UMPD Dispatch: 207-581-4040
When calling, please be prepared to provide the following information:
- Your name
- Your exact location

Phones are available in all major buildings on both campuses.A UMPD officer or designated personnel will typically arrive within 10 to 15 minutes of your call. If assistance has not arrived within that time, please call again. If you no longer need the escort, please contact UMPD Dispatch to cancel your request.
