Core Values

Agency Philosophy

Employees understand that it is the philosophy and duty of each person within the agency to support the educational mission of Wake Forest University. Our department exists under a dual obligation to function both in a quasi-governmental, law enforcement capacity as well as to serve the greater interest of the university. Employees understand how their role as sworn law officers supports the overarching institutional mission.
