The Wayne State University Police perform the same duties as the police in the community where people live. The staff of nearly 40 officers employed by the department is college graduates and certified police officers with the state of Michigan. The department is comprised of police officers that are commissioned by the city of Detroit and has the same responsibilities and authority as any police officer in Michigan. It patrols the Wayne State University area in patrol cars, on foot, mountain bikes and motorcycles 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, a group of civilian cadets patrol the area, keeping radio contact with the dispatch center. Established in 1966, the department has maintained an impressive safety record. The entire Wayne State campus is in touch with the department via the blue light phone system. There are more than 140 safety phones on and around the main campus and medical school areas.
