Wright State University's Police Department is responsible for ensuring a safe environment for students, employees, and visitors. Police officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are aware of the hours kept by medical students and pay close attention to the medical sciences area during late hours.
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 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.
The Wright State University Police Department's S.A.F.E. escort service is designed to enhance your safety and peace of mind and provide a greater sense of security for anyone who feels unsafe while walking alone on campus. The S.A.F.E. escort service is a walking escort from one location on campus to another. The S.A.F.E. escort service is free of charge and is available to all Wright State University students, staff, and faculty members.
Fire alarms throughout the buildings are the primary means of ordering evacuation of a building in case of fire, bomb threats, gas leaks, and similar emergencies. An outdoor siren system indicates the need to seek indoor shelter areas in case of severe weather. The indoor shelters are located in the tunnels and are indicated by arrow.
