Patrol Officers
The College of Charleston campus and surrounding areas are patrolled twenty-four hours a day,
seven days a week by certified Campus Police officers. Patrol officer assignments are divided
into two twelve-hour shifts, each shift supervised by a sergeant. Patrol is conducted on
foot, on bicycles and in vehicles. The high visibility and mobility of these officers is an
integral part of our community policing efforts. Officers are available to take information,
file incident reports, conduct preliminary investigations, assist with automobile lockouts and
jump starts, secure and unlock buildings, provide security at sports and social functions,
provide security escorts and assist local law enforcement jurisdictions.
Security Officers
State security officers are trained to staff the residence halls, the computer
center and the gym. These officers provide internal security and liaison support for our patrol
officers.
Communications
The Communications Center is staffed by National Crime Information Center
certified telecommunicators. An 800mhz Campus Police Communications System allows
continuous contact with all officers as well as all local law enforcement agencies.
A computer aided dispatch system allows our telecommunicators to track the location
of all officers on patrol, immediately assign case numbers and input initial
time/location information essential for initiating and processing incident reports.
