Individuals can report in progress crimes and other emergencies by dialing 911 or crimes that are not in progress by dialing WSU Vancouver Department of Public Safety and Parking Services at 360-546-9001 or 311.
This allows the appropriate Police Department to take actions to address the concern. Reports to WSU Vancouver PD (including those crimes reported to WSU Vancouver PD from Campus Security Authorities) will be considered for issuing a Timely Warning or Emergency Notification if there is an ongoing threat to the safety of the campus community or an immediate threat occurring on campus.
WSU Vancouver encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes to campus public safety officials and the appropriate police agencies, even when the victim of a crime elects not to, or is unable to, make such a report. Reports can be made to the WSU Vancouver Police Department or one of the local or state police agencies, including the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and Vancouver Police Department.
For incidents that are currently occurring, recently occurred, or need immediate assistance, please dial 911. For incidents of a non-emergency nature, call 360-546-9001 or dial 311. All 911 and 311 calls will be answered by CRESA, the Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency, which manages consolidated dispatch operations for police, fire and EMS units for multiple counties, including Clark County. A dispatcher will collect your information and determine the appropriate police, fire and/or medical aid required.
