Located at Western Kentucky University, the KLEC – POPS certified Officers have full police powers, including arrest powers, under Kentucky Revised Statute 164.955.
The agency employs 23 sworn police officers, 9 communications officers, 2 student workers, and 1 office coordinator. The department provides services to the WKU Main Campus and additional properties owned by Western Kentucky University, which includes the South Campus, The Center, Lost River Cave, and The WKU AG Center.
“We chose the Gunsite Glock 45 Service Pistol with Holosun Optic because it checked all the boxes. The department wanted a Glock, with a sight and a milled slide,” said Sgt. Bryan Jones of the WKU Police Department. “The entire department went through a red-dot transition course. We took the Gunsite Glock, shot thousands of rounds through it and it never once failed.”
Added CEO, Ken Campbell, “As a retired 35-year LEO and County Sheriff, I can’t say how pleased I am to know that our Gunsite Glock Service Pistol (GGSP) was chosen for the very reasons we approved our name on it: accuracy, reliability, and affordability. This should serve the officers for their 20+ year career. Thanks to the Western Kentucky University Police Department for choosing Gunsite Glock Model 45 to protect their jurisdiction.”
