On July 1, 1970, the security/police forces from the two institutions were merged becoming the VCU Police Department. The VCU Police Department is ranked as one of the top five largest campus police departments in the nation. VCU is comprised of two campuses, the 90.6 acre Monroe Park Campus and the 52.4 acre MCV Campus. The university owns another 576 acres, located in Hanover and Charles City Counties. The university has satellite campuses located in Northern Virginia and Qatar. The VCU Police Department provides criminal and traffic enforcement activities on their respective campuses and within their extended juris- diction as stated by the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond. VCU is located in Richmond, a culturally diverse city, surrounded by historic neighborhoods, parks and a thriving James River. VCU’s campuses, separated about one mile, are interwoven by roadways that are used as regular thoroughfares by commuters traveling in and out of the city. VCU also shares the surrounding area with many diverse communities that include business and residential development. The make up of our community consists of young students, adult professionals, business patrons and neighborhood citizens. As a result, VCU Police Department is tasked with identifying and reacting to the following issues that affect our community: Speeding Reckless Driving Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs Possession/Consumption of alcohol by persons under 21 years of age Pedestrian/Bicycle safety Any other traffic violation as dictated by local and state code VCU Monroe Park Campus VCU Police Department 5 2010 Law Enforcement Challenge Introduction Information On a daily basis the roadways surrounding the campus experience vehicular and pedestrian traffic from a staff and student population made up of approximately 50,000 individuals. The MCV Campus additionally experiences approximately 11,000 more a week due to scheduled clinic appointments. These numbers do not include those utilizing the roadways to visit the emergency room, visit patients, attend training or educational session, vendors or just as a thoroughfare. The VCU Police Department is active in educating the motorist and enforcing traffic laws to gain compliance and enhance highway safety. Selective enforcement and speed enforcement is conducted in heavy traffic areas in an effort to increase pedestrian safety. VCU Police Department regularly works with agencies such as Virginia ABC Agents to reduce alcohol violations on campus and invites the Virginia State Police and Richmond City Police to participate in DUI Checkpoints. In an effort to reduce alcohol and speed related violations, VCU Police Department conducts grant funded saturation and party patrols.
