Campus Safety

At Marshall University, the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff is always a top priority. We have hundreds of people involved maintaining a safe and secure campus. By West Virginia state law, university police officers have the same authority as that of any other law enforcement officers. A staff of uniformed officers provides 24-hour-a-day patrol of the campus, adjacent University-owned facilities and parking lots.
