CMUSafe Ambassadors are vital to our community in supporting emergency preparedness and response.

The CMUSafe Ambassador Program seeks to enhance and empower individuals, and features three levels of expertise to highlight those committed to community safety. Each level builds on the last by enhancing skills, providing new training opportunities, and new rewards as well. Additionally, all CMUSafe Ambassadors can look forward to the annual appreciation event in the fall.

CMUSafe Ambassador Training

Below you'll find the various qualification levels achieveable by CMU-Safe Ambassadors. To achieve a new level, you must complete all of the training and events listed under that level (as well as all preceeding levels).
