Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

VCU campus police are constantly patrolling campus throughout the day, which means if you don’t do anything wrong, they won’t even notice you. Most police officers on campus are dealing with students who are speeding in their cars. They tend to ignore students jaywalking and bicyclists riding down the wrong side of the street. Their main goal is to be seen on campus and to ensure the safety of their students.
 

Every now and then, police are called to go to out-ofcontrol parties around campus. Usually they just tell underage drinkers to throw out their drinks and go home. Tickets aren’t usually written, and all is forgiven as long as there is no sign of recklessness. That’s not to say that, if police are constantly being called, a more severe action won’t be taken against you. VCU police are also active in helping students report cases of theft or acts of vandalism. Their presence on campus makes it clear that they are here to help keep order on and around campus and to make the campus a safer place for students.

Police

Richmond can be a scary area, but police are EVERYWHERE looking out for the students. We have call boxes (flashing lights/boxes that connect right the police) on almost every corner. The great thing is the police worry about outsiders, there not strict with students. They understand we are all college students and want to have fun. As long as your not acting stupid or hurting anyone else then you'll have a blast. Oh if on the rare occasion they do bust a party they just tell everyone to leave. Unless your SUPER intoxicated your fine.

Punishments Are Set in Stone

Here at VCU, we know the consequences of certain activities. If a person chooses to partake in these activities anyway (underage drinking, drug possession) then they are already aware of the consequences and should not expect anything less.

Don't Get Caught

The school's attitude is that they know students are going to party and drink/do drugs, but they do enforce policies if you are caught drinking in the dorms or are throwing up in front of VCU police/officials.
