Message from the Director of Public Safety

Thank you for visiting the Middle Tennessee State University Police Department’s Web site. I hope you will find the information contained here very useful.

Middle Tennessee State University contains a thriving college campus environment where young men and women further their educational pursuits. What was once a small college has blossomed into the largest undergraduate university in the State of Tennessee . Within the framework of this institution sits our Police Department’s ongoing mission of providing a secure arena for everyone who visits the campus to gain benefits from their experiences at Middle Tennessee State.

Our goal is to provide police services to members of the Campus Community and to all visitors to the University. In order to accomplish this task, our Police Department maintains a law enforcement presence on campus 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We divide our time between assisting individuals, groups, and departments and performing specific police functions on campus. Our officers constantly strive to maintain professionalism and effectiveness in their interactions with students, faculty, staff, and visitors. We afford direction and resources for students; we support the efforts of faculty to instruct students; and we work with staff members who provide for students. We also encourage visitors to call on us for assistance.

Middle Tennessee State University maintains a full service Police Department that includes patrol, investigations, crime prevention, training, and records management. The Department provides documentation for incidents and events including crime statistics, accident reports and incident reports.

Please call on us if we can be of help. Our phone number is 615-898-2424 or dial 911 for immediate emergency assistance. Our office is located on 1412 East Main Street in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Again, thank you for your time and for your visit.
