About

Mission

The Northeast Ohio Medical University Police Department is committed to developing and maintaining a safe and peaceful campus environment.

Our officers are sworn to protect constitutional rights, enforce state laws, and provide ethical and equitable police services in support of the University’s mission.

Values

In addition to the University’s mission and values, the NEOMED Police Department has its own set of values on which our officers base their actions and decisions.

Integrity

Integrity is always doing the right thing.  As police officers, we do what is right not for actual or perceived gain, but because it is the right thing to do. The integrity of our officers is not only represented while we are in uniform, but in all of our actions on and off duty.  Our moral strength and courage is demonstrated in action.

Safety

The protection of life and property is the primary concern for our officers.  The wellbeing of our faculty, staff, students, visitors, our officers and other officers is paramount.  Not only do we focus on keeping the NEOMED community safe, we conduct ourselves in such a way that the public views us as being a source of protection.

Professionalism

We are members of a very noble and honorable profession.  As such, we will maintain the highest of personal standards, taking pride in our conduct, communication, and appearance.  We treat our colleagues and the public with respect in accordance with our mission statement and core values to ensure trust and open communication.

Service

We value the privilege to serve our NEOMED community ethically and equitably.  “Protect and Serve” is not a concept, but rather a calling.  We are dedicated to seeking opportunities to enhance public safety. We work to reduce fear and incidence of crime, and go out of our way to lend a hand to someone in need.

Teamwork

We work together as one organization to adhere to the mission of our department.  As NEOMED police officers, we are respectful to each other and work collectively to solve problems and serve the community.  As a part of the NEOMED community, we work in a partnership with faculty, staff, students, visitors, and other agencies.
