Lone Star College System Police Department Policies

The Lone Star College System Board of Trustees has created a District-wide police department. The police department is staffed with licensed police officers as well as non-sworn security guards. Lone Star College System peace officers are commissioned to provide protection for persons and property. Lone Star College System police have the same authority as any other licensed peace officer on the property owned and controlled by the District, including the authority to arrest, investigate, and file charges when a crime may have been committed. Police officers patrol in marked police cars, bicycles, golf carts, and on foot. The Lone Star College System police department maintains cooperative working relationships with the area police and sheriffs' departments to ensure that back up resources are available.

Lone Star College System police units maintain a campus chronological daily record of each crime reported to the police at each location. This record includes such details of reported crimes as the date, time, nature, general location, and disposition of the complaint. These records are available to the public within two business days of the initial report unless disclosure is prohibited by law, would jeopardize the safety of an individual, compromise an ongoing investigation, would cause evidence to be destroyed, or cause a suspect to flee.

Each college and the satellite centers have police officers or guards on duty at the location at all hours the center is open.
