Statement from UMD Regarding 09/03/14 Incident at Main Administration Building
Yesterday, the University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) received an anonymous phone call reporting an armed individual holding a hostage at gunpoint inside the Main Administration Building. Our officers responded immediately and followed police protocol to evacuate and safeguard the building against the potential threat. After completing a sweep of the building, it was determined that the threat was unfounded and an all clear was issued. The ongoing investigation of this incident has revealed that the call was placed from an internet based line and linked to a social media account in which numerous "fake" incidents in the area, including the University of Maryland, were mentioned. This incident is still under investigation and when available updates will be posted on-line at http://www.umpdnews.umd.edu

Game Day Information at your Fingertips
Tomorrow is a B1G day for the University of Maryland as the football season officially kicks-off against James Madison University at Byrd Stadium at 3:30 p.m. Months and months of planning and preparation went into making Maryland's first year in the B1G Ten a successful one. In order to make that happen, we partnered up with the Athletic Department to come up with a solution on how to provide game day information (traffic/incidents) for fans traveling to the University who are attending the game and the community as well. Thanks to our text messaging system, Nixle, we are able to make this happen by sending out a text message.
