What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Wayne State University?
Wayne State operates campus public-safety services and emergency procedures for its Detroit campus. Reported measures include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephones or alarms, late-night transportation or escort options, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.
Students should learn how to contact university police, receive emergency alerts, and report a concern; they should also check the current availability and service area of any late-night ride or escort program. Sexual misconduct reporting and support follow separate university procedures, which students can review before they need them. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required crime disclosures and safety policies. Its statistics cover specified categories and reporting areas, not every incident a person might encounter in a city.
