Message from the Chief
The Virginia Western Police Department welcomes you to our website. On this site we offer an explanation of our services, as well as crime prevention tips, lost and found property help, the college’s weapons policy, crime reporting, and the annual Security and Crime Report.
We are committed to a healthy partnership with our community; a partnership which strives to find the best means of fostering a safe and secure learning environment. As a law enforcement agency with sworn and civilian employees, we are available 7 days a week to serve the main campus. By collaborating with you and our esteemed regional partners we can successfully address quality of life issues as well as criminal activities when necessary. To that end, Virginia Western Campus Police Department is committed to serving you.
