Campus Safety
Washington State University makes the safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and visitors a high priority. Our fully commissioned police force acts in concert with other university departments and local jurisdictions to provide a safe living and learning environment. WSU is proactive in addressing threatening situations both from hazards in the physical environment and from the behavior of individuals. We continuously seek to improve safety through the addition of new facilities, communications, and processes.
