The JCCC PD patrol division is the largest division within the department. Its purpose is to provide the highest level of security and public safety assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

  • Responding to calls for service

Headed by the chief of police, there are several sworn officers alongside public safety officers assigned to this division, including sergeants. 

All members of the patrol division are equipped with the latest in law enforcement equipment and—like all department sworn officers—are required to complete annual mandatory training established through the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center and/or our own departmental

Bias-based profiling, or racial profiling, is strictly prohibited.

Sworn officers shall actively enforce state and federal laws and applicable College policies and procedures in a responsible and professional manner, without regard to race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation or gender.

Officers may take into account the reported race or ethnicity of a specific suspect or suspects based upon trustworthy, locally relevant information that links a person or persons of a specific race/ethnicity to a particular unlawful incident.

Race and/or ethnicity can never be used as the sole basis for probable cause or reasonable suspicion.

The JCCC PD Communications/Dispatch Center is located in the Midwest Trust Center building, in Room 115. The communications center is responsible for taking emergency and non-emergency calls, as well as operating the campus main switchboard.

The communication center is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The JCCC Police Department is made up of a complement of sworn law enforcement officers, a detective, a crime prevention officer and an emergency management director and several civilian employees. Managed under the auspices of the executive vice president for finance and administrative services, the department is an integral part of the College’s dedication to developing and maintaining a safe and secure campus.

Each police officer is professionally trained and state of Kansas certified, with the same authority as any police officer within the state of Kansas. JCCC police officers are commissioned law enforcement officers with the right to arrest, in accordance with the laws of this state, any person for violation of state law or applicable county or city ordinances when such violations occur on any property or facilities which are under the guidance, supervision, regulation or control of Johnson County Community College.

All members of the JCCC PD work within a division responsible for essential work that keeps our campus safe.
