Notification to the larger community may be made through social media platforms and local news media.

Notification Process

Generally, the William Peace University Office of Public Safety (OPS) responds and confirms if there is a significant emergency on campus. The response may be in conjunction with others, such as officials from the Raleigh Police Department. Depending on the circumstance, OPS may activate the outdoor warning system, Pacer Alert system, and/or the Emergency Notification System. When information that abates the emergency has been received, a follow-up Pacer ALERT message is sent to notify the community of an “All-Clear.” WPU annually tests its emergency response plans and systems through scheduled drills and exercises.

Emergency Warning System

William Peace University’s Emergency Warning System provides a fast and effective communication link to Public Safety and enables Public Safety to broadcast emergency alerts, including voice directives, flashing lights, sirens, and text on the built-in LCD screen. Reporting Criminal Incidents and Other Emergencies

Reporting Criminal Incidents and Other Emergencies

Students, employees, and visitors are encouraged to immediately report any criminal offense, suspected criminal activity, or other emergencies on campus directly to the William Peace University Office of Public Safety and for crimes occurring off-campus, to the appropriate police agency for that location. Reporting crime to Public Safety can be done by contacting Public Safety (see contact numbers below), via the Call Boxes located in the parking lots, and through the WPU Emergency Notification System located on every floor in every building on campus.
