Congratulations to Captain Laura Dyer, the University of Maryland Police Department’s Special Events Commander, who was presented with the President’s Distinguished Service Award at the 32nd Annual Faculty and Staff Convocation yesterday, held at the Adele H. Stamp Student Union.
The President’s Distinguished Service Awards recognize exceptional performance, leadership and service by members of the University staff. The recipients of this award have a record of exemplary performance and distinctive contributions to the operation of an administrative, academic, research or service unit on campus.
Captain Dyer has been with the University of Maryland Police Department for over 20 years; from patrolling the campus community to building and strengthening relationships in community policing to traffic safety coordinator to ensuring the safety of thousands upon thousands of visitors that come to our campus each year as the special events commander and everything else in between. Captain Dyer has organized and assisted with Presidential visits, visits by numerous guest speakers, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, athletic events, and more. Her continuous passion for what she does and the leadership that she exemplifies is what help keeps this campus safe.
We are extremely proud of Captain Dyer for all that she does for UMPD and the University Community, day in and day out. Thank you and Congratulations!
