Patrol

The Georgia College Patrol division is the largest of the three and is headed up by the Patrol Commander, Lt. R. Tuft.  The division is staffed by 16 state-certified police officers and provides a wide variety of services, ranging from motorist assistance, to answering routine and emergency calls for service, to major case investigation and community-oriented programming.  Regardless of what their assigned duties might be, the department's personnel are dedicated to the delivery of pro-active law enforcement services in a positive and professional manner.  Officers patrol the campus and surrounding area 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  There are four patrol shifts, each supervised by a Sergeant.

The shift Sergeants are the officers the department entrusts to make sure the daily law enforcement needs of the campus are met.  They supervise officers on their shift and at other campus events.  They also do their share of the shift work.  They respond to calls for service, check buildings, lock/unlock buildings, and patrol the campus while also performing as an administrators for the shift.  They are empowered to make decisions without referral on law enforcement issues and some university policies related to staff, students, and visitors.  They oversee the actions and needs of the people on their shift.

The patrol officers on each shift handle the brunt of the calls for service.  When they are not out on a service call, they patrol the surrounding streets, buildings, residence halls, and other property.  They also handle most of Accident and Incident Reporting on campus.

Our officers patrol the campus in a variety of ways; patrol cars, bicycles, golf carts, and on foot.  Our current Patrol fleet consists of 8 marked police vehicles and two bicycles.  This variety has allowed the department to expand our services beyond normal boundaries of patrol.  By getting into areas where patrol vehicles cannot reach, we have increased our visibility and hopefully deterred criminal activity with our presence.
