Campus Security Officers

The 2004 General Assembly, through House Joint Resolution (HJR122), requested the Virginia State Crime Commission to study safety at Virginia's institutions of higher education. As a result, DCJS created the Office of Campus Policing and Security (OCPS) to address the law requiring minimum training and employment standards for campus security officers. Through Legislative Code § 9.1-102 (Powers and duties of the Board and the Department), DCJS was required to establish minimum standards for employment, job-entry and in-service training curricula, and certification requirements for campus security officers.
