Wright State University takes campus safety seriously. We have a Department of Public Safety that has a fully operational police department that consists of a patrol division, administrative division, Public Safety Service Center, special event services, investigations, and a records division.
Wright State prioritizes the safety and well-being of the campus community and has implemented multiple other campus safety services to continue providing the best for our students, staff, and faculty.
Our goal is to provide peace of mind and a safe and secure environment for those who attend, work, reside, and visit. Feel free to look at the campus safety resources below.
As a part of Wright State University's overall emergency planning, an Automated External Defibrillator Program was established in AEDs are strategically placed across both the Dayton and Lake campuses to have an AED applied to a victim of cardiac arrest within five minutes.
Many of the AEDs are housed in wall-mounted storage cabinets for ease of access. The wall-mounted storage cabinets are alarmed and, when opened, will send a signal to the Public Safety Service Center to alert first responders to a potential emergency. Public Safety also carries AEDs with them as a part of the first response. Monthly inspections are conducted by Facilities Casualty Prevention personnel.
