 Campus Police
Dedicated to Protecting Our Campus Community
"Indiana Wesleyan University
is a very important part of the Marion and Grant County community.
Its programs and facilities are outstanding and are continually
being improved to better serve the needs of the future. Since
1989, our goal has been to provide a safe and secure campus
for the students, faculty and staff of IWU, as well as to
protect the grounds and facilities. Our officers are dedicated
to protecting the quality of life at IWU and strive to
be positive role models to students. Our intent is to furnish
the Indiana Wesleyan University community with the best available
professional law enforcement services."
Captain Mike Ross Grant County Sheriff's Department
 " Since 1989, Indiana Wesleyan University and the Grant County Sheriff's Department have teamed
up to secure a safe location for students to continue their education. Our
partnership has proven that students can contribute their time to their educational and
recreational agendas without unnecessary safety concerns. Indiana Wesleyan University continues to
grow both spiritually and physically and I believe Campus Police plays a role in that growth.
That is why I am a proud member of the Indiana Wesleyan University Police Department."
Lieutenant Randy Albertson Grant County Sheriff's Department
" As a founding and supervising officer of the IWU Campus Police Department since it began in 1989, I have seen the unique partnership strengthen between the Grant County Sheriff's Department and Indiana Wesleyan University over the years. The collaboration between the two agencies has benefited both the community, as well as the campus. As sheriff, I am no longer able to serve as a campus police officer, but it is still my desire to see the professional and dedicated men and women of my department continue serving as campus police officers to create a safer and healthier community in which students can obtain a quality education and employees can enjoy a safe working environment."
Sheriff Darrell Himelick Grant County Sheriff's Department
Security
policies and procedures
The safety and security of all members and guests of the campus
community are of primary concern to Indiana Wesleyan University.
The Department of Campus Police is made up of 27 officers
from the Grant County Sheriff's Department. All officers graduated
from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, and undergo continual
training. All have been trained in emergency medical procedures,
first aid and CPR. They each carry a weapon and have the
power to arrest.
Officers' routine duties include, but are not limited to,
the following: locking and unlocking facilities; greeting
students, visitors, faculty and staff; preventing crime through
high visibility and aggressive patrolling; maintaining internal
building security; escorting visitors and students; preparing
reports; investigating on and near campus crimes; conducting
foot and vehicle patrols; monitoring and enforcing moving
and parking traffic violations; and campus emergency weather
notification. On campus, campus police enforce all regulations
and laws -- both of the university and the State of Indiana.
Our campus police officers work very closely with the Marion
Police Department and the Indiana State Police to assist them
with incidents that may occur off-campus.
Security
in the residence halls
The student's
responsibility Exterior doors to the residential areas should
never be propped open.
Room doors should be locked even when the student leaves for
a short period of time.
Keys should be carried at all times and never lent to others.
Cars should be locked at all times. Valuables should be concealed.
Students should report any suspicious-looking individuals
or vehicles that they feel do not belong on campus or any
unusual incidents in the residence halls or around campus
to the residence life staff or campus police.
Although the university does all it can to reduce the likelihood
of crimes which could result in injury or property loss, students
and employees are encouraged to safeguard themselves as well
as their belongings. The university is not responsible for personal
possessions brought to campus so students might want to consider
insuring valuable items. To discourage theft, students should
consider marking their valuables with an engraver.
The Aldersgate Center (located on 2nd floor of Student Center)
has information regarding sexual assault as well as provides
personal counseling opportunities. The institution will make
changes in a crime victim's academic and living situation if
appropriate and reasonably possible. Programs informing the
campus community about crime prevention and campus security
policies will be announced and publicized.
The University Handbook contains information on disciplinary
action procedures and policies on the use, possession and sale
of alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs.
The university will make timely warning reports to the campus
community on certain crimes that represent a continuing threat
to students and employees and that are reported to officials. |
