Additional Help Resources

Campus Security Services

Wayne State College Campus Security believes that a community committed to the prevention of crime promotes the safest possible environment. That's why our focus is on crime prevention and campus safety. Here's how we do that.

Campus Patrol 

Officers patrol the campus on foot, on bicycle and in a marked security vehicle. Officers provide a visible deterrent and active response to criminal activity.

Escort Services 

Escort services are available to campus members and visitors. A campus security officer or campus safety patrol personnel will accompany pedestrians on campus property during night-time hours or anytime a person is apprehensive about walking alone.

Security Shuttle Service 

Security shuttle service will provide transportation to campus members. The shuttle is driven by a uniformed security officer and radio dispatched by Campus Security.

Crime Prevention Officer 

A full-time crime prevention officer presents programs to educate, inform and encourage all members of the college community to practice crime prevention techniques. The information and programs available from the crime prevention officer include:

  • Student and parent orientation
  • Crime prevention techniques
  • Personal property security
  • Sexual harassment, assault, and rape prevention
  • Victim assistance
  • Brochures, videos, and other materials
  • Programs and presentations are scheduled annually and are also available upon request.
  • Maintenance and security of campus facilities are the responsibilities of the entire campus community. Staff members attend to the college’s buildings and grounds with consideration for safety and security. Report irregular conditions, such as broken windows or locks, burned out lights, or other hazards, to the Campus Security Department at 402-375-7216. The security officers will respond promptly to safety and security concerns. Security will contact maintenance staff in a timely manner and inform them of each situation.
