MUAA has contracted with the North Miami Police Department to patrol the school regularly; our faculty and staff are always on supervision, drills are regularly conducted to increase the safety procedures on our campus, and improvements will continue to be made. Be assured that everyone’s security is paramount to us in these difficult times.
