A message from The Director of Public Safety:
My goal is to ensure that every student, employee, and visitor feels safe, supported, and confident while on our campus. The Wallace Community College Selma Campus Police Department is dedicated to providing professional law enforcement services, maintaining a visible campus presence, responding quickly to concerns, and building strong relationships throughout the college community.
Public safety is more than responding to emergencies. It also means prevention, preparation, communication, and education. Our department works to identify potential safety concerns, encourage crime prevention practices, support emergency preparedness, and provide information that helps members of our campus make informed decisions about their personal safety. We also believe that trust and communication are essential to effective campus policing. I encourage students, faculty, staff, and visitors to get to know our officers, ask questions, report concerns, and communicate with us whenever assistance is needed. By working together, we can continue to strengthen the safe and welcoming environment that Wallace Community College Selma strives to provide.
As part of our commitment to transparency, WCCS makes available its Annual Security Report, which includes campus crime statistics, emergency procedures, safety policies, reporting information, and other important resources. I encourage everyone in the WCCS community to take time to review the report and become familiar with the services and procedures available to them. The Campus Police Department remains committed to serving with professionalism, integrity, respect, accountability, and fairness. Our responsibility is not only to protect lives and property, but also to support the educational mission of the College by helping create an environment where students can learn, employees can work, and visitors can feel secure.
Safety is a shared responsibility, and every member of our campus community plays an important role. If you see something concerning, need assistance, or simply have a question about campus safety, please contact the Wallace Community College Selma Campus Police Department.
Together, we can help make WCCS a safer, stronger, and more connected campus community.
