Created in 2000, the Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety (VCSCS), located within the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, focuses on improving and enhancing safety by addressing topics which affect Virginia law enforcement, schools, and institutions of higher education. The VCSCS is a resource and training center for information and research about national and statewide safety efforts and initiatives in K-12 schools and institutions of higher education. Through the Code of Virginia § 9.1-184, VCSCS is mandated to:
- Provide training for stakeholders,
- Develop, review, and disseminate resources and legislation,
- Facilitate the annual school safety audit,
- Provide technical assistance, and
- Develop partnerships to promote school and campus safety in Virginia.
The Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety strives to achieve all of these mandates and to be a one-stop service center to K-12 schools, institutions of higher learning, and law enforcement agencies. On the VCSCS webpages, constituents will find trending topics, resources, trainings, and legislation updates for the fields of:
