Campus Patrol
The patrol division is made up of certified law enforcement officers. All Public Safety patrol officers have powers to arrest on GSW campus and authority up to 500 yards outside campus boundaries. Officers have completed Georgia Basic Peace Officer training and attend a minimum of 20 hours additional training annually. Duties of a patrol officer include everything that might be expected of a city police officer including traffic control, working vehicle accidents, taking reports of crimes as they occur, and general safety of the campus community and property.
