All police officers are professionally trained and state of Kansas certified, with the same authority as any police officer within the state of Kansas.  By law, JCCC police officers are commissioned law enforcement officers with the right to arrest, in accordance with the laws of this state, any person for violation of state law or applicable county or city ordinances when such violations occur on any property or facilities which are under the guidance, supervision, regulation or control of Johnson County Community College.

The department provides a full range of police services, including, but not limited to:

• Investigating crimes committed in its jurisdiction
• Making arrests
• Providing crime prevention and community services programs
• Enforcing traffic laws
• And maintaining crowd control for campus special events

The department maintains a close liaison with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in implementing and coordinating campus law enforcement operations.

The department understands the overall academic mission of the college and strives to play a vital role in enhancing that mission. Concern for the community's well being, a desire to provide service and assistance whenever possible and a constant desire to support the academic environment are all factors inherent in the department's daily operations and policies.
