Kilgore College Police Department
The major responsibility for the safety and well-being of students, faculty and staff members at Kilgore College rests with the Campus Police Department. The department recognizes that it has a wider mission than other law enforcement agencies, adding significantly to its responsibilities.
Department personnel are sensitive to the unique nature of the college community - a diverse group of students, faculty and staff. This calls for a safe and orderly environment so that all members of the community can fulfill their individual missions.
The Kilgore College Police Department is a State-Certified police agency. They provide protection 24 hours-a-day, every day of the year. Their authority extends to the Kilgore College-Longview campus and any property owned or leased by Kilgore College. The officers are empowered to write citations, make arrests and investigate all criminal incidents on campus.
The KCPD cooperates with other law enforcement agencies at the local, county, state and federal level. This includes communications and the coordination of special events. The KCPD is part of the City of Kilgore Police Department communications system which provides for immediate mutual assistance.
As a service to the students, staff and visitors, campus police will assist with minor vehicle problems such as jump starting low batteries and accidental lock outs.
The KCPD embraces the Kilgore College mission of Emphasis Excellence in their approach to serving the members of the KC community. The primary mission is to ensure the safety and security of the KC students, staff, and facilities.
