Campus Law Enforcement Authority

WCC Campus Police have complete police authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on-campus and areas immediately adjacent to the campus. Campus Police may also refer curriculum students to the Associate Vice President for Academic & Student Services for possible disciplinary action if offenses involving College rules and regulations are committed.

Major offenses such as rape, murder, aggravated assault, robbery, and auto theft are reported to the local police and joint investigative efforts with investigators from WCC and the city police are deployed to solve these serious felony crimes. The prosecution of all criminal offenses, both felony and misdemeanor, are conducted by the North Carolina 8th Prosecutorial District in session at the Wayne County Courthouse.

Campus Police personnel work closely with local, state, and federal police agencies and have direct radio communication with the Goldsboro Police Department and Wayne County Sheriff’s Office on the County Emergency Services network. The Campus Police Department is also a part of the Wayne County 911 Emergency System.

Notice: Wayne Community College is randomly patrolled by police K-9 units. All staff, students, visitors and vehicles on WCC property are subject to K-9 exposure.
