Staying safe on campus

DMU is committed to making our campus a safe place for all without fear of harassment, crime or anti-social behaviour.

Our partnership with Leicestershire Police and its local neighbourhood team helps keep our places safe for our students, staff and the local community.

• We have a proactive 24/7 security team ready to respond to your concerns with a police officer dedicated to the campus
• The team is supported by the neighbourhood policing team working from the nearby Hinckley Road Police Station
• Members of our security team and the campus police officer regularly patrol halls of residence and campus buildings

We are proud that our campus is a safe place to live, study and have fun, but, like anywhere else, there is always a risk of crime.
