Mission and Goals Statement
The Virginia Western Police Department continually endeavors to improve the quality of life of those we serve by developing partnership with the college community so that we can collectively and successfully address issues and concerns. We believe it is our primary goal and calling to maintain a secure campus environment with equal protection under the law. We strive to provide dedicated service for all students who attend classes as well as all persons who work, visit and reside around the Virginia Western campus.
The Virginia Western Police will at all times put forward a supreme effort to help make the College community as safe and accomodating as possible; however, there are times when violations of law occur and arrests must be made. The fine people whom make up the police force act in accordance with the Virginia Western Police Department's Mission. They are very highly dedicated, with a firm commitment to the college and the people whom make up the college community. The officers in our department are professionally trained and strive to continue this training for the betterment of the campus, the community and themselves. All department personnel are instructed in accordance with standards as mandated and established by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services. The foundations of our mission and goals are to foster an environment that promotes safety, security, fellowship and community with all people as we represent Virginia Western Community College.
