The Vision and primary goal of the ÌÇÐÄvlog´«Ã½ Police Department is to provide a safe, secure, comfortable environment for students, faculty, and staff of the ÌÇÐÄvlog´«Ã½ that will empower them to learn and grow to "get anywhere from here". To accomplish this goal, ÌÇÐÄvlog´«Ã½ Police Officers regularly patrol and monitor all campuses. Identification checks are a routine practice in monitoring and maintaining a positive campus environment. To further safeguard the college environment, video surveillance devices are used throughout the campuses, and signs notifying students of this surveillance are conspicuously posted.
