A Message from the Chief

Welcome to Virginia Commonwealth University. I look forward to working with students, faculty, staff, city residents and business owners.

VCU is home to one of the largest university police departments in the country, with 82 sworn officers, more than 200 security personnel and an accredited training academy. The VCU Police Department is an accredited law enforcement agency, and VCU police officers have full law enforcement authority.

Collaboration, partnerships and problem solving are essential to public safety at VCU. The VCU Police Department works closely with local and federal law enforcement entities to create a safe learning and working environment for students, faculty and staff.

You will see VCU police officers on the Monroe Park Campus, on the MCV campus and at the VCU Health System. We are here to protect and serve the VCU community.

I believe the VCU Police Department should never miss an opportunity to inform, educate and involve members of this community in our efforts to make VCU a safe and secure environment. To do this I need your help. Public safety at VCU is everyone’s responsibility.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need assistance.
