The men and women of The Victoria College Department of Police and Campus Safety would like to welcome you to our web page. We hope that you will find the information both informative and helpful. Each member of our Department is dedicated to a professional, community oriented approach to policing and campus safety. We recognize and value the importance of a safe and secure educational environment both on and off our campus. We will strive to provide an environment that fosters the opportunity and the freedom for our entire community to grow intellectually while in the pursuit of educational excellence.
Our department is responsible for many aspects of campus security including crime prevention, law enforcement, subsequent investigation, emergency preparedness, asset protection, and building access control. The Victoria College has been fortunate not to experience a significant number of serious criminal incidents, however in an effort to provide the safest learning environment possible The Victoria College does employ both state certified peace officers and civilian security personnel.
Victoria College police officers are commissioned peace officers as defined by the requirements of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officers and Standards. Within our peace officer's primary jurisdiction, a peace officer commissioned under Texas Education Code Chapter 51 Sec. 203 is vested with all the powers, privileges, and immunities of peace officers. The Victoria College Police also have the authority to enforce all applicable local, state, and federal laws as well as college rules and regulations in all counties in which property is owned, leased, rented, or otherwise under the control of the institution of higher education.
The Victoria College also employs uniformed Campus Security Officers. Campus Security Officers take an active role in parking enforcement, building access control, escorts, and enforcement of college rules and regulations. Victoria College Security Officers do not have the authority to execute an arrest, however they do have direct communication with campus police.
