Follow Purdue police on X/Twitter for valuable updates, resources

General safety information and resources from the Purdue University Police Department are now readily available on its refreshed X/Twitter account.

The department’s account provides valuable information about the campus community, including topics focused on safety tips, course offerings and more.

“Allowing our students, staff and faculty members to have the knowledge about what is going on around campus right in their pocket is beneficial to our entire community,” said PUPD Chief Lesley Wiete. “Everyone should have easy access to what our department offers and how they can use the information to better protect themselves and others.” 

PUPD’s handle for X/Twitter is @Purdue_Police. Additionally, all students, faculty, staff and visitors are encouraged to sign up for PurdueALERT or follow @purdueemergency for notifications regarding any major emergency or dangerous situation occurring on or near campus that presents an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees. This type of information will not be featured on the @Purdue_Police account.

PUPD is part of the Administrative Operations organization, which supports the university by providing safe, reliable and transformative services. Providing timely updates and beneficial information to the campus community is just one of the ways the organization helps power Purdue.
