Wallace Community College - Selma Police Dept

Wallace Community College in Alabama staffs its Selma campus with its own police department, which provides full police service there. Under the Code of Alabama, its officers hold the same powers, authority and responsibilities as any state police officer on property the college owns or operates, and in any situation where the law allows a warrantless arrest. Sworn officers assigned to the campus wear a navy dress uniform with a college badge so students and visitors can readily identify them. The department focuses on a visible campus presence, quick response to concerns, crime prevention, emergency preparedness and sharing information that helps people make sound personal safety decisions. Students, faculty, staff and visitors are encouraged to contact officers with questions or concerns, as the department stresses trust and communication.
