The Washington University Police Department (WUPD) has completed training through the nonprofit KultureCity to recognize and support people experiencing sensory overload situations during police interactions.

The 2022 sessions were created and organized by students, faculty and staff, and addressed a host of topics, among them campus safety, the differences between equity and equality, campus supplier diversity efforts and the impact of flexible work policies.
