MACOMB, IL - - Several Western Illinois University students were honored for their work as Go West Security Officers during the fall semester.


  • Officer Isaac Derossett, junior Law Enforcement and Justice Administration (LEJA) major of Pomona, was named "Guard of the Semester."

  • Officers Jalen Fenner, senior emergency management major of Elgin Air Force Base, Florida, Luke Jones, senior LEJA major of St. Louis and Kelly Loghry, senior LEJA major of Plainfield, received "Certificate of Appreciation" awards.

  • Officers Jones and Loghry received a "Years of Service" award.

  • Officers Alan Cuaulte, junior LEJA major of West Chicago, Alyssa Schliephake, sophomore LEJA major of West Chicago and Joseph Thome, junior LEJA major of Lake in the Hills, were promoted to Corporal.

  • Officer Ian Thomas, senior forensic chemistry major of Macomb, was promoted to Sergeant.

  • Officers Derossett, Thome, Fenner and Tomi Adebanjo, freshman LEJA major of Elgin, were awarded "Probation Awards" for passing their probationary periods.

"I'm so proud of the Go West Security Team and what they have accomplished this year," Assistant Vice President of Student Success and Go West Security Advisor Joseph Roselieb said. "They are a true asset to the campus and Macomb Communities and we very much appreciate their hard work and dedication."

The Go West Security Program, which began in 2005, was created to provide students with hands-on, practicum-driven experiences while also serving the University and Macomb communities. Go West Security was used exclusively for security services on the MCPT bus transit system until August 2024, when it and WIU's Concert Safety Corps merged. Go West Security now services MCPT transit and various events, activities and sporting competitions on campus.
