WSU Police Department
Wichita State University is constantly focused on maintaining a safe, secure learning
environment. The University Police Department is a round-the-clock presence on the
WSU campus. In addition to patrols and traffic control, its officers provide security
services such as safety escorts and auto assists for keys locked in cars and dead
car batteries.
Always available
The University Police can be reached from any campus phone by dialing 911. There are also nearly 40 emergency call boxes strategically located on campus and residence hall grounds that instantly connect to the University Police Department dispatcher in case of an emergency. The boxes have the 360-degree video camera and the capability for two-way communication with the dispatcher, but communication is not essential. The instant the student presses the button, the department will automatically dispatch an officer to the location of the emergency call box, and the blue light on the top of the pole will activate.

Strong partnerships
Adding to the security of the campus is the close cooperation between the University Police Department and the City of Wichita. The Wichita Police Department's Patrol North Bureau is just one block west of campus. Also within blocks of campus is the Wichita Fire Department's Fire Station No. 10, which is home to the city's Hazardous Materials Response Team. Both facilities are directly connected to the University Police Department's communications system.
