Lone Star College System Police Department

Welcome to the Lone Star College System (Lone Star College System) Police Department web site. The Lone Star College System Police Department is here to provide a safe environment for learning, teaching and working. We are here to serve the needs of our community and actively solicit input as to our performance. Please e-mail any college chief, or the District Director of Public Safety if you have a suggestion that might improve our operation.

We employ both commissioned police officers, who have the same powers and abilities as any other police officer, as well as non-commissioned security guards, who are civilian employees that support the police department by providing extra eyes and ears, and who deal with non-police calls for service, allowing the police officers to concentrate on proactive patrol of the colleges. Police officers wear blue shirts and have badges and shoulder emblems that say “police”. Security guards wear white shirts and do not have badges. Their shoulder emblem and their photo ID cards say “Guard”. Police officers carry department-approved handguns, whereas Security guards are unarmed.

The Lone Star College System Police Department provides a full range of police services, including escorts, motorist assists and safety information. If you have any questions or concerns, please approach any of our police officers or security guards that you see patrolling our campuses on foot, on bicycles, in golf carts, or in marked police cars. They will be happy to talk with you, and will either provide you the information you need, or will direct you to someone else for help in resolving your issue.

We want your experience with Lone Star College System to be positive, pleasant and above all, safe. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance.
