The objective of Campus Security is to provide a safe environment for teaching, research and social endeavors and to protect the lives and property of the students, employees of, and visitors to SUNY Westchester Community College. This objective is pursued within the framework of SUNY Westchester Community College’s rules and regulations and all local, state, and federal laws. The investigation of crimes committed on the Valhalla Campus falls under the jurisdiction of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety. The investigation of crimes committed at or on other College properties is generally handled by the local police department where the specific College property is located – ie. Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Ossining, Peekskill. In all cases, the police investigations are done with assistance from the Director of Campus Security and his assistants. Campus Security administrators maintain an excellent relationship with the local police, and they work together closely to as much as possible maintain the safety of all who come upon and utilize College property. For example, at most times when the College is open an operating, there is Westchester County Police Department Community Resource Officer present on the Valhalla Campus. Local police departments also provide routine patrols and inspections of the College's other locations.
