Wichita State University encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes to
the campus police and the appropriate police agencies, when the victim of a crime
elects to, or is unable to, make such a report.
The Wichita State University Police Department (UPD) also encourages students, employees
and visitors to contact a member of the UPD to report crimes, or incidents that may
or may not be crimes, immediately.
Contact the UPD by calling (316) 978-3450 or, if calling from a campus phone, dial
911. Time is an extremely important factor in reporting and can mean the difference
between a suspect being apprehended or successfully evading law enforcement personnel.
In addition to reporting to the UPD, crimes or incidents may also be reported to the
Wichita Police Department. To reach the Wichita-Sedgwick County Emergency Communications
dispatcher dial 9-911 from a campus phone or 911 from a cell phone or outside line.
Requesting Emergency Assistance
To request an ambulance, the fire department, or the University Police Department
for emergency assistance, call the University Police Department at extension 911 from
any campus phone or dial (316) 978-3450 from a cell phone or outside line. Tell the
dispatcher the nature of the request, the name of the caller, location and phone number.
If the dispatcher asks the caller to hold, the individual should do so if at all possible.
The dispatcher will immediately send an officer and other necessary emergency equipment
to the location and then return to the caller to obtain necessary additional information.
For nonemergency incidents, call the University Police Department at (316) 978-3450.
To contact the Wichita-Sedgwick County Emergency Communications from a campus phone,
dial 9-911.
If possible, pull the building alarm system as you leave the building
To report a situation or condition that poses a threat to the safety and well-being
of persons using, passing by or through the facility in question, report it to the
fire and safety officer at (316) 978-5531. The officer will investigate the situation
and recommend corrective action to the appropriate authorities. After normal business
hours, report to the University Police Department dispatcher.
