Security Information
Kentucky Wesleyan College is concerned with the safety and wellbeing of its students and staff, and has contracted for security services to be provided by a private security agency. Uniformed security officers provide coverage during the evening and on weekends. Campus security, however, should be everyone’s concern. For the College to provide a safe campus, we must have the assistance and cooperation of each and every person at Wesleyan.
You can help yourself and help us by always reporting suspicious people to your Resident Assistant or Resident Director, the Student Services Office, or some other College staff member. Report all broken locks, doors, windows and lights to your RA or RD or another appropriate person to Campus Security.
A few campus safety tips:
- Do not breach security by propping open locked doors on campus buildings.
- Always keep your room and car doors locked.
- Don’t walk alone at night.
- Never leave personal belongings unattended.
Students should report all incidents of campus crime (theft, assault, etc.) to their RA and RD (if they are a residential student) and the Student Services Office, as well as the Owensboro Police Department. Sexual assaults should be reported to the Title IX Officer.
Faculty, Staff, and Students can contact Campus Security at 270-929-8609 or email Security@kwc.edu.

Clery Report
The crime statistics disclosed as required by the Clery Act are gathered from several sources within the college community including, but not limited to Student Services, Residence Life, Campus Security and local law enforcement agencies for crimes occurring on campus, on public property immediately adjacent to the campus and non-campus buildings owned or controlled by the college. The purpose of this report is to report timely information about safety on campus so the community has the ability to make informed and responsible decisions.
The Clery Act affects virtually all public and private colleges and is enforced by the U.S. Department of Education. Campuses that fail to comply with the act can be penalized with fines and may be suspended from participating in the federal financial aid program.
