Project ID

Registering your property deters theft and increases recovery

Project ID is a campus program designed to discourage theft of valuables from your residence hall. It also provides a record of your valuable property at the UMM Campus Police so in case of theft the serial numbers are on record and can be entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The NCIC is a national computer tracing system used for a stolen article entry so that the article can possibly be returned to the owner if sold or found, which also increases the chances that the perpetrator will be brought to justice. Because it reduces the profit in crime, this program has dramatically reduced burglary in communities where the majority of citizens have joined.

Bicycle Registration

Print the Bicycle Regisration form and fill it in. Return the form to UMM Campus Police (Basement of Camden Hall). At that time you will be given a numbered decal to place on you bicycle. The information will be entered into a database so that if your bike is recovered by the police in the event of loss or theft; it will be quickly returned to you
