4.2. Commitment to Safety

The WSU Vancouver Police Department strives to educate the campus community and maintain a reasonably safe environment on campus. WSU Vancouver encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes to the campus police and to the appropriate police agencies (including Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the Vancouver Police Department), by the victim of a crime when he or she elects to do so, or by a witness or another informed person when the victim is unable to make such a report.

WSU Vancouver Police personnel provide educational and prevention-driven programs to the WSU Vancouver community. Although the campus police department takes many steps to educate and maintain safety on campus, each individual within the campus community plays a role, and it is important to be aware of surroundings and use reasonable judgment when working or visiting on campus. Please report suspicious or criminal activities to law enforcement by calling 911.
