About Campus Security

The Wenatchee Valley College Campus Security Department is a non-commissioned security force.  All Campus Security staff have received First Aid, CPR and AED training and additional instruction in emergency response. Our Security staff patrol both campuses (Wenatchee and Omak) on foot, enforce the laws and regulations that govern conduct on campus, and have the authority to issue parking tickets. Wenatchee Valley College Safety/Security staff work to ensure a safe and orderly environment in which members of the college community can pursue their educational goals. We provide service and assistance to students, staff, and community members and assure compliance with college regulations. We have security officers on campus 24/7 every day of the year. We want every student, staff, and community member to feel safe while on campus and have established guidelines for campus security.

Clery Act Reporting

The Clery Act was named after Jeanne Clery, who was raped and murdered in her dorm room by a fellow student on April 5, 1986. Her parents championed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) in her memory.  The Clery Act requires colleges and universities in federal financial aid programs to report campus crime data, support victims of violence, and publicly outline the policies and procedures they have put into place to improve campus safety.

In accordance with federal law, WVC provides all crimes reported on the campus or on property adjacent to the college campus.  This information is aviailable each year in an  Annual Safety Report and additional statistics are available on the WVC Public Disclosure page. This chart includes crimes that were reported to the Wenatchee Valley College Campus Safety Officer, Wenatchee Police, Chelan County Sheriff, Okanogan County Sheriff, Omak Police and other college officials who have significant responsibilities for student and campus activities. If you have any questions about the crime statistics or safety issues on campus, please contact the Safety, Security and Emergency Manager at 509-682-6659.

Sex Offenders

Wenatchee Valley College is authorized to notify the college community if a registered sex offender may be expected on or near a Wenatchee Valley College campus (RCW 4.24.550). In such cases, the Vice President of Students Services (VPSS) or a college designee will execute the following procedures. Upon learning of the enrollment and/or presence of a convicted sexual offender at a Wenatchee Valley College campus, the VPSS or a college designee will: 

• Review all relevant and necessary information provided by law enforcement personnel and assess the safety issues posed for students, employees and children on campus.
• The VPSS and the Safety & Security Emergency Manager (SSEM) will interview all Level II and III Sex Offenders attending Wenatchee Valley College. The student will be informed of the notification procedure and conditions of enrollment, as well as, provided with information regarding rights, responsibilities and privacy protections of students. Based on information received from law enforcement and the interview, WVC may impose conditions of enrollment which the offender must abide by while attending WVC. Violation of these conditions may result in disciplinary action and notification of law enforcement.
• The VPSS will release the identity and information according to the guidelines below. The Registrar will coordinate the notification process.

Notification will correspond with the classification level in the following manner:

Level l - Low Risk (to reoffend). The vast majority of registered sex offenders are classified as Level 1 offenders. These individuals may be first-time offenders and are usually known by their victims. They normally have not exhibited predatory type characteristics and most have successfully participated or are participating in approved treatment programs. 

• Vice President of Instruction, Deans of instruction and professional programs will be given a list of offenders and updated information as needed.
• Faculty and staff in whose program/courses the offender is enrolled in will be notified by email.
• Student employment office will be given a list of offenders and updated information as needed.
• Student Services will keep current a list of offenders and update information as needed.

Level II - Medium Risk (to reoffend). Level II sex offenders have more than one victim and the abuse may be long term. These offenders usually groom their victims and may use threats to commit their crimes. They are considered a higher risk to re-offend because of the nature of their previous crime(s) and lifestyle (drug/alcohol abuse and/or other criminal activity). Some have refused to participate or failed to complete approved treatment programs. Level II sex offenders must have also met with the VPSS and SSEM.

• All Level I notifications.

Level Ill - High Risk (to-reoffend). Level III sex offenders are the greatest risk to the community. Most are predatory, have other violent crime convictions, refused treatment, and are known substance abusers. Level III sex offenders must have also met with the VPSS and SSEM.

• All Level I and Level II notifications.
• Information provided to college employees via campus mail and/or list serve.
• VPSS or designee will provide notification to the classes in which the offender is enrolled.
• Public Notification: "Sex Offender Release" is posted on various bulletin boards around the campus by Student Services.

Narcan and Fentanyl Test Strips

Naloxone and fentanyl test strips are provided free of charge on the Wenatchee and Omak campuses in compliance with House Bill 2112. Please take only what you need as supplies are limited. If the test strips run out, please contact WVC Student Affairs so that they can be restocked.

Descriptions

Naloxone: Naloxone is a medicine that temporarily stops the effect of opioids. This helps a person start to breathe again and wake up from an opioid overdose. Naloxone is also sold under the brand name Narcan^®. Always contact 911 if you suspect someone is overdosing.

Fentanyl Test Strips: These test strips can identify if a drug contains fentanyl but not how much fentanyl there is or how strong the dose is.
