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.
