We recognize that families and students are often concerned about campus safety.

At Wilson, Securitas provides an on-site, unarmed, trained security officer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These officers perform a wide range of responsibilities, including patrols, emergency response, lockout and access control, alarm monitoring, evacuation assistance, conflict resolution, and security escort services (on-campus and by request). Officers are carefully selected through rigorous background checks and receive ongoing training to ensure the highest professional standards.Campus safety officers conduct continuous foot and vehicle patrols of the campus and residence hall areas. They enforce Wilson College policies and regulations as well as the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In addition to security officers, trained administrators are on call 24/7 to assist with emergencies that occur outside regular business hours.Wilson College also maintains a strong partnership with the Chambersburg Borough Police Department, which periodically patrols campus, shares information with the College, and provides specialized training for residence life staff, including tactical training when needed.Federal and State ComplianceThe Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act requires Wilson College to publish an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, which includes campus safety and security policy statements as well as crime statistics for the three most recent years (2022–2024).
