GLENVILLE, WV – The Glenville State University Department of Public Safety strives to provide the campus community a safe and healthy environment in which to live, grow, learn, and work. Now, thanks to several donors, Public Safety staff also have new uniforms with a more modern, professional look.

The new uniforms include pants and dress shirts with a royal blue soutache around the epaulettes and pocket covers. The uniforms are adorned with brass and silver insignias with the new Public Safety patch sewn on both left and right sleeves. The patch features the Glenville State clocktower on a background with the United States and West Virginia flags. 

Three donors – Gary Williams, Ron Christ, and Paul Duelley – donated a total of $1,500 toward the new Public Safety uniforms.

“On behalf of myself and the other Public Safety staffers, we are grateful to these friends for helping partially cover the costs of the new uniforms,” said Glenville State’s Chief Director of Public Safety, Michael Wheeler.

“With this upgrade, the campus police officers and security officers look much more professional and it is a true reflection of the work they do to keep our campus community safe. I love how the new uniforms turned out,” said Glenville State University’s Vice President for Administration, Rita Hedrick-Helmick.
