SAFETY AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Officials at Wayland Baptist University are very concerned about your safety and security, and we place a high priority on maintaining a safe environment for students, faculty, and staff. In addition to official policies and procedures designed to enhance safety and security, it is critical that you also take responsibility for your personal safety. Your personal safety and security plan should include, as a minimum, the following components:
- Avoid walking alone, especially after dark.
- Park your car in a well-lighted parking area. The parking lots at both Sheppard AFB and the Call Field campus are well lighted, and there are sufficient parking spaces available to accommodate our students.
- Register, engrave, or mark all your valuable possessions.
- Lock your vehicle when you are attending classes, and do not leave valuables in plain view.
- Stay alert at all times and know who to call when the situation warrants. Report any suspicious activity, persons, or objects to the Wayland staff/faculty or to the appropriate law enforcement agency (on Sheppard AFB, call Security Forces at 676-6302; at Call Field, call the Wichita Falls Police Department at 761-7600). In case of emergency, you can always dial 911.
- Never leave your personal belongings unattended.
Faculty, staff, Sheppard AFB Security Forces, and the Wichita Falls Police Department assure security in Wayland classrooms and offices. For facilitates and classes on Sheppard AFB, security is strictly enforced by Security Forces. At both the Sheppard and Call Field locations, lights in the parking area are turned on before dark and remain on until after dawn.
Both Wayland Baptist University and the U. S. Air Force prohibit the use of illegal drugs. Wayland prohibits the use of alcohol and forbids the possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs/drug paraphernalia and alcohol by staff, faculty, and students at any activity offered under the aegis of the university.
