WPUNJ Campus Police

Welcome to the WPUNJ Campus Police webpage, your resource for safety and security at William Paterson University, located on East Road, Wayne, New Jersey. Our dedicated team of Police Officers, Security Officers, Guards, Student Patrol, and support personnel are committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all students, faculty, and staff.

We are excited to introduce Power Engage, a new initiative designed to gather feedback from the William Paterson community. If you interact with our officers or public safety personnel, you may receive a text survey or find a QR Code on a WPU Business card. Your participation in this brief survey is invaluable and will help us enhance our services.

Our commitment to safety is reinforced with the publication of the Annual Security Report, which complies with the Clery Act. This comprehensive document provides crime statistics for the past three years and details our campus security policies. It includes data from on-campus incidents, adjacent public areas, and non-campus properties used by university-recognized groups.

For any safety-related questions, please contact the University Police Department at 973.720.2200. If you need to report an incident, call 973.720.2301. In case of an emergency, dial 911 from any campus phone or use the Emergency Bluelight telephones located throughout the campus.

Director of Public Safety and University Police, Charles Lowe, and the entire team are here to support you. Feel free to reach out to him directly at lowec1@wpunj.edu or by phone at 973-720-2200. Your safety is our highest priority.
