University Police Department

The Wright State University Police Department is a full service police department serving the Wright State University campus community including faculty, staff, students and visitors. The department employs police officers certified through the Ohio Peace Officers Training Commission. Police services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Police Department has two locations on campus. The administrative offices and police officer headquarters are located at 118 Campus Services Building and is open from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. The Communications Center is located at 060 Allyn Hall and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Emergencies

All requests for emergency assistance—for medical, personal, or other reasons—should be directed to the Police Department by calling 911, or by contacting the Wright State University Police Communications Center, 060 Allyn Hall, at (937) 775-2111. The communications operator will, in turn, contact services that are appropriate to the situation. If you inadvertently dial 911, please remain on the line to inform the communications operator that you dialed the number by mistake.

Emergency Telephones

Emergency telephones are clearly marked and have been installed in the buildings, parking lots, and grounds areas around the main campus for reporting emergencies directly to the Wright State University Police Communications Center. The telephones are to be used to report any type of emergency such as, but not limited to, fire, sudden illness, injury, and threatening situations.

Emergency Procedures

Two categories of mass emergencies require your immediate response when in the classroom or while on campus. The first category, requiring evacuation of the building, includes fire, bomb threats, gas leaks, and other similar situations. The second category, which requires persons to seek shelter in designated safe areas inside buildings, includes tornadoes and other forms of severe weather.

The sounding of the building fire alarm is the primary means of ordering evacuation from a building. Activation of the outdoor siren indicates the need to immediately proceed to a designated shelter area. The university public address system will be used to provide supplemental instructions during all emergencies. The best paths by which to exit the buildings or to find shelter are clearly marked in all campus buildings. The shelter area for each building is in the tunnel area. The safe areas in the tunnels are indicated by wall arrows. In the event of any kind of emergency, it is important you move quickly and calmly either out of the building or into the tunnels, using the stairs and taking all your belongings with you. Do not attempt to carry persons with disabilities. You may assist them in moving to a safe area. Report their location to the Police Department.  The Campus Emergency Guide is located online at http://www.wright.edu/police/

Police Records

Copies of police records may be requested by contacting the records division by phone at (937) 775-4167 or in person at 118 Campus Services Building 8:30 am – 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.
