Divisions & Units

The University of Missouri Police Department (MUPD) is organized into two divisions — Operations and Support Services — and ten units. Division Commanders report to the Police Chief, Brian Weimer. The Emergency Management and Executive units do not fall under a division and report directly to the Chief. View our organizational chart here.

The Support Services Division includes the Staff Services, Security, Communications, Records, Property, and Emergency Management Units.

The Executive Unit handles Accreditation and departmental training.
