Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe and secure campus environment for our students, faculty, staff and visitors, as well as to protect the facilities, property and assets of the Ventura County Community College District. We strive to provide a peaceful learning environment in which research, education and public service can grow.

Our Core Values

• We value protecting the campus community through proactive policing.

• We value fostering dignity and respect in all interactions.

• We value developing a community-oriented partnership to resolve issues and problems with our students, faculty, and staff.

• We value endorsing the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics: to impartially enforce the law, to respect the rights of individuals, and to encourage voluntary compliance with the rules, regulations, and laws through equal and impartial application of enforcement.

Our Badge

The badge is a symbol of courage, strength, and integrity. With the display of the badge comes great responsibility.  It represents the people we protect and serve; our communities, the government, and ultimately every peace officer who has ever worn the badge. It is those who have performed the duties of a peace officer and have sweat and fought, been bloodied, cried, and sometimes died upholding the honor behind that badge.

Peace officers are held to a higher standard, not because we are better, but because of what the badge represents: honor, integrity, service, and dedication to the people we are sworn to serve. We are expected to be distinguished for our commitment to the service of others, over ourselves. We shall assess this constantly and hold ourselves accountable. Our strength of character will be evidenced as we remember that the badge is much more than a just a piece of metal, but rather it is an indication of our high standards of service as we work for constant improvement in the manner and outcomes of our getting the job done right.
