Our officers patrol the UWM campus and surrounding neighborhoods on a daily basis to help ensure a safe environment is maintained. We also have a dedicated team of investigators with advanced training who can assist with complex and sensitive police matters.
Community MeetUp Spot
SafeTradeSpots are designated locations near police departments where buyers and sellers can meet in public with good lighting and surveillance cameras to complete in-person transactions.
The UW-Milwaukee Police Department’s MeetUp Spot is located at 3351 N. Downer Ave. Look for the designated green sign in the parking lot and the green marked sign at the Police Department’s main entrance.
