University Police
The University Police Department is established in accordance with Section 10A-142 of the Connecticut General Statutes which provides for a special police force at the University whose members have the same duties, responsibilities, and authority as members of a duly organized local, municipal, or state Police Department. The jurisdiction of the University police extends to the geographical limits of the property owned or under the control of WCSU. The department has state-wide jurisdiction in felony cases.
The WCSU Police Department is a community-policing oriented law enforcement agency primarily concerned with the protection of life and property, the prevention and suppression of crime, the apprehension and the assistance in the prosecution of offenders, the preservation of peace, and the regulation of vehicular and other traffic. Additionally, University police provide those “called-for” and specialized services essential for the good of the campus community.
All departmental activities and efforts are directed toward fulfillment of these obligations in the most efficient and effective manner possible within the legal, ethical, and moral framework of contemporary society.
