E-bikes and e-scooters are an important part of how members of our campus community get around. They also create safety concerns when operated improperly or without regard for pedestrians and other riders. As we begin the fall semester, CUPD will be actively educating and enforcing campus and applicable traffic laws related to e-bikes and e-scooters. This is about more than following the rules—it is about keeping our campus community safe.

This past friday, we had the privilege of recognizing Officer Brett Cary during his official Walk Out Ceremony. Throughout his career with the Cornell University Police Department, Officer Cary was a dedicated member of our road patrol division.

With over four decades in the law enforcement, fire services and the emergency medical care field Officer Cary brought professionalism, experience, and a genuine commitment to public service.

His final walk was a moment filled with pride, gratitude, and plenty of memories as we celebrated a remarkable career and the friendships built along the way.

Thank you, Officer Cary, for your years of service, reliability and friendship. We wish you nothing but the best in retirement and the next chapter ahead.

This year, members of the Cornell University Police Department are getting back on the road for the Finger Lakes Ride for Life in support of the Southern Tier AIDS Program (STAP) on Saturday, September 19th, 2026.

We invite our community to join us in supporting this important cause and the work STAP does every day for individuals and families across the Southern Tier. Their programs help provide housing stability, food assistance, access to healthcare services, and critical prevention and recovery resources for those who need them most.

In 2025, thanks to community support, STAP was able to:

Help save 218 lives through reported overdose reversals.
Provide housing assistance to 109 individuals and families.

Assist more than 708 clients with healthcare navigation and support services.

Distribute food to 5,963 people, including children and seniors in our region.

Serve 2,612 individuals through prevention programs and distribute 6,216 overdose kits.

Every contribution—no matter the size—helps strengthen these efforts and supports neighbors right here in our community.
If you’re able, please consider donating and supporting our team as we participate in this year’s ride.

Last week, we had the privilege of recognizing Lt. Murphy during his official Walk Out Ceremony. Throughout his career with the Cornell University Police Department, Lt. Murphy was a steady leader, trusted colleague, and dedicated member of our department.

As the Lieutenant in charge of Investigations, Lt. Murphy brought professionalism, experience, and a genuine commitment to the people around him.

His final walk was a moment filled with pride, gratitude, and plenty of memories as we celebrated a remarkable career and the friendships built along the way.

Thank you, Lt Murphy, for your years of service, leadership, and friendship. We wish you nothing but the best in retirement and the next chapter ahead.

This past week, members of our department had the opportunity to spend time with students at Dryden High School for a self-defense course.

A big thank you to instructors Jackie Cito and Jesse Gallant for leading the training and sharing their experience. They did a great job working with students and focusing on practical skills, awareness, and confidence in a really approachable way.

We always appreciate the chance to connect with local schools, and we’re grateful to Dryden High School for welcoming us in.
