University Policing

Action Items

  • Create the WVU Public Safety Oversight and Engagement Committee to provide transparency, vision, guidance to, and oversight of the delivery of public safety services to the University. The Committee will be appointed by the President and consist of students, WVU administration, staff and faculty, community members not affiliated with the University, and an attorney from the WVU Office of General Counsel to serve as a non-voting member.
  • Accelerate the level and frequency of training for WVU Police and Office of Emergency Management given the multifaceted role it plays with students and others on campus. Set clear goals and expectations for engagement with an emphasis on establishing and maintaining positive relationships. Explore reinstating a “residence hall” shift and the formation of a student advisory board to serve as a sounding board for issues and concerns related to public safety.
  • Increase funding and allocate additional resources to the WVU CARE Team which currently represents a collaborative of social services on campus to support the safety and wellbeing of students and the University community. This would include a campaign to improve awareness of the CARE Team’s mission, expand services to exist on a 24/7 framework and develop a short- and long-term plan to better integrate UPD and the operations of the CARE Team.
