Community Policing at its best!!

Captain Green recently had the opportunity to meet with several WPI international students who requested a tour of the WPI Police Department. During their visit, they had great conversations about the department, the role WPI Police plays within our campus community, and important safety tips for living and studying on campus.

WPI Police welcomes anyone who would like to learn more about our department to stop by and visit us in Founders Hall.
