INFORMATION FOR
The Community Policing Unit is currently under the supervision of Sergeant LaWanda Walker and reports to the Command Staff of the WPU Police Department. Sgt. Walker continues to work diligently to collaborate with the university partners to create different opportunities for community engagement. Such as specialized training, student employment, culture awareness events, community policing strategies, and enhancing the university's living and learning environment. Sgt. Walker strongly believes that there’s a wonderful snowball effect that results from the benefits of community policing: engaging with the campus community about their needs and addressing them also increases transparency and accountability, which, you guessed it, increases trust and improves community relations. The WPUPD Community Policing motto is “Serving the Community Is Our Priority.”
