Personal safety is an important issue for Western Nebraska Community College (WNCC).
We encourage every member of our campus - students, faculty and staff - to take an appropriate active role in crime prevention and reporting of incidents that occur on campus. We provide this information for you and encourage you to review it carefully.

Drug Free College Policy
The College affirms its responsibility and commitment to maintain a drug free workplace and environment strictly according to the terms and conditions of the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988. The College is obligated to provide a drug free, safe, and healthy and secure workplace and environment for students and employees. Any student or employee of the College who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
Western Nebraska Community College is committed to creating a community free from violence and fear. To assist in this effort, the following information is being made available to the campus community.
Nebraska State Statute,§29-4002 declares that sex offenders present a high risk to commit repeat offenses and that efforts of law enforcement agencies to protect the communities, conduct investigations, and quickly apprehend sex offenders are impaired by the lack of available information about individuals who have pleaded guilty to or have been found guilty of sex offenses, and who live in their jurisdiction. Because of that, the Legislature determined that state policy should assist efforts of local law enforcement agencies to protect their communities by requiring sex offenders to register with local law enforcement agencies. As provided by the Sex Offender Registration Act. This information may be accessed at the web site of the Nebraska State Patrol: www.nsp.state.ne.us
At this web site you will be given the opportunity to search by last name, first name, city, county, or zip code.
This information is to be used to provide public notice and information about a registrant so a community can develop and construct a plan to prepare themselves and their families. Sex offenders have “always” been in our communities. The notification process will remove their ability to act secretly.
Sex offender registry information will not be used to retaliate against the registrants, their families, or their employers in any way. Vandalism, verbal or written threats of harm are illegal and may result in arrest and prosecution.
