About the SVCC Police Department

Message from the Chief:

As your Chief of Police, my primary goal is to ensure that our campus remains a space where every student, staff member, faculty member, and visitor feels safe and secure. Safety is a shared responsibility, and it thrives when we look out for one another.

At SVCC, we aren't just a campus; we are a community. Whether you are at the Christanna Campus, the John H. Daniel Campus, or one of our off-site centers, my office is always open to you. We are here to serve, to protect, and to ensure that your focus remains on your education and your future.

Let’s have a safe, productive, and successful semester.

Stay alert, stay safe, and Panther Pride!
