Message from the Chief
The Georgia Northwestern Technical College Police Department is a full service, professional law enforcement agency that is committed to providing a safe and secure educational environment for students, staff, faculty, and visitors. The Police Department is dedicated to the Community Policing Philosophy; providing pro-active service through inter-departmental and inter-agency collaboration to meet the ever-changing needs of the college community. We welcome input from the college community regarding security issues, needs, and concerns, and pledge to work as partners with the college community to provide quality police and security services.
In addition to providing high visibility patrols of the campus, the Georgia Northwestern Technical College Police Officers and contracted local agencies provide a variety of services including enforcement of smoking regulations and safety escorts. They also investigate criminal activity and motor vehicle accidents on campus.
I would encourage you to feel free to get to know the Police Officers on the Georgia Northwestern Technical College Campuses. We are here to keep you safe and assist you with all your security needs. I think you will find our officers friendly, approachable, and willing to assist you in any way possible.
I urge you to keep safety in mind at all times and if I may ever be of assistance to you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.
Thank you,
Chief of Police
