Georgia Gwinnett College Police Dept.

Georgia Gwinnett College Police Department provides law enforcement for the Georgia Gwinnett College campus in Lawrenceville, Georgia, through the college's public safety department. Campus officers in Georgia go through a thorough screening process before hiring, attend a state police academy alongside municipal, county and state officers, and are then certified by the state commission that oversees law enforcement training standards. After the academy, each new officer completes a 12-week field training program before working independently. The department provides security for campus events, issues alerts and timely warnings to the campus community, and publishes the disclosures required under the Jeanne Clery Act. Its stated approach relies on open communication, partnerships across campus, continuous improvement and problem-solving strategies to address issues that affect safety at the college.
