SUBJECT: WAYLAND BAPTIST UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPARTMENT

The ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ Police Department (ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD) is dedicated to ensuring a safe and secure environment on the university campus for its faculty, staff, and students. Plainview campus security is accomplished through the active and vigilant patrol of the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ (ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½) campus and its property, the securing of buildings in the evening, the keeping of records related to security violations, the providing of limited investigative services, and the annual publishing of crime statistics.

Plainview Campus
Operation - The security program is managed by the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD. Under the leadership of the Chief of Police, the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD employs full-time licensed peace officers along with part-time off duty licensed peace officers who patrol the Plainview campus at appropriate hours 365 days per year. The ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD strives to improve the quality of the living, learning and working environment through the provision of fair and equitable services. The ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD Police Officers are armed, have full arrest authority, and are vested with the same right and powers as all other Texas Peace Officers.

External Campuses

Operation - Security at external campuses is under the direction of each campus executive director/campus dean and in coordination with the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD Police Chief. For classes taught in civilian settings, each campus determines the extent of the security for their particular campus. External campuses defined by the Clery Act as reportable Clery Campuses, are also included in the Annual Fire Safety and Security Report published on the office of Postsecondary Education web site .

Crime Reporting - Constituents of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ are encouraged to report crimes or emergencies occurring on campus; in/on property owned and controlled by ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½; and crimes on public property running through or immediately adjacent to the campus to the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD or external campus executive director/campus dean. Crimes occurring in other locations should be reported to the local police department with jurisdiction at the location of the crime. If the correct local police department is unknown, the individual reporting the crime or emergency should dial 911 and the city/county dispatchers will refer the call to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Students and employees should report any criminal offense for the purpose of making timely warning notices (Crime Alerts) and annual statistical disclosure to the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD or external campus executive director/campus dean. Although statistical information is requested annually from law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ campuses and other owned and controlled property, the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD also requests notification of the incident for follow-up and documentation purposes. Non-emergencies may be reported to the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD or external campus executive director/campus dean.

All ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ CSA's are required to report crimes (violations of federal, state and local laws) to ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD or external campus executive director/campus dean. These crimes as well as any public safety related incidents or emergencies must be promptly reported to the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD or external campus executive director/campus dean for appropriate response, investigation or disposition.

Students and employees can report crimes to any Campus Security Authority on campus, but ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ has identified the following people as Primacy CSA's, to provide additional reporting options in the event that the reporting party does not want to report a crime directly to the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD. One of the below listed CSAs can be contacted and the crime can be reported directly to them. All CSAs are required to subsequently notify the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD of any reported crimes, to allow that office to capture the crime for statistical purposes and to assess the crime for a potential timely warning notice.

The ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes to the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½PD or external campus executive director/campus dean and appropriate police agencies when the victim/complainant of a crime electrs to, and is unable to, make such a report.
