“ We also encourage our campus community to utilize free active shooter trainings , where university police officers teach participants how to respond in case of an active shooter ,” Kaull says . “ The university police team provides this training upon request to any campus group . As part of these efforts , West Virginia University police recently provided training to more than 500 auxiliary and business services employees , among others .”
The officers also promote the use of LiveSafe , a mobile application that provides two-way communication with text , photo , video and audio . The app also provides additional safety information and notifications .
WVU has also implemented additional safety measures that include updating academic buildings to lock doors outside of normal operating hours , consolidating evening classes into fewer buildings and increasing the number of cameras and card reader locks across campus .
The school has requested money from the West Virginia Higher Education
