We staff a Safety and Security force of full and part-time professional security personnel, as well as several carefully selected student officers. The primary purpose of the program is to maintain a safe and secure living environment for members of the college community.

As required by federal law, through the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act, campus crime statistics are published annually during October. Current statistics for West Virginia Wesleyan College are included at the Crime Statistics link below or may be requested from the Office of Student Development by calling 304-473-8441.

Complete policy statements related to the information contained herein are found in the current Student Handbook , which also includes Drug Free Workplace and Drug Free Schools and Communities standards.

In compliance with the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, the sex offender registry for the state of West Virginia or for any county in the state can be found at West Virginia State Police. There you can find a list by county and photo of each person registered, with additional background information.
