Welcome to the University of Rhode Island Police Department website. I want to thank you for taking the time to visit our site. We hope the information provided here will be of use to you.

The URI Police Department is committed to offering quality public safety services to all of our community members and strives to enhance the quality of life on all our campuses to make it a better place to live, learn, and experience all that URI has to offer.

The Department of Public Safety cannot do this alone; it requires the partnership and commitment of every community member. The most important crime prevention efforts are accomplished through mutual trust, cooperation, and collaboration between the police department and the community we serve.

Our department’s success is largely attributable to teamwork and addressing the concerns of our community in partnership and treating everyone fairly and respectfully.

We are happy to announce that URI has been named one of the top 10 safest campuses, read more here. We encourage you to visit the webpages of the different public safety units here at URI.
