Welcome
Please join us in congratulating Michael Scott on his promotion to Events and Emergency Planning Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Scott joined the Cornell University Police Department as a Patrol Officer in January 2012. During his time at CUPD, he achieved the rank of Road Patrol Sergeant in May 2016. Then he transferred laterally into the Special Projects and Events Sergeant before being promoted to Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Scott is a New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) certified General Topics Instructor, Field Training Officer, Firearms Instructor, and Police Supervisor. He was awarded the Ithaca Kiwanis Club Frank G. Hammer Officer of the Month Award in July 2014 and July 2023 for his performance, leadership, and professionalism in his various roles with the department.
In his new role, Lieutenant Scott will continue his work and guide those he leads to provide service and empathy to the Cornell Community,

February was filled with snow, ice, a winter break, a Valentine`s Day bowling event, and service to Cornell University. From patrols to community engagement, here’s a look at the moments that shaped our month of February. #gobigred #teamcupd

Last night, officers from local law enforcement agencies, including CUPD’s own Officer LaBarge, Officer Gallant, Officer Grunder, and Sgt Cito, participated in a fundraiser for Special Olympics during halftime of the Cornell Men’s basketball game vs Penn.
Multiple teams consisting of one officer and one Special Olympic athlete had 1 minute to make as many baskets as possible. For every basket made a sponsor from a local business donated $10 to Special Olympics New York. #gobigred
