About

Patrick Henry College operates an on-campus safety team providing an array of services. On-duty and on-call Campus Safety staff are specially trained to observe and report on all matters related to campus safety and are immediately available to respond to and handle any emergency that may occur on campus. Campus Safety consists of both armed and unarmed officers who are eligible to be registered with the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services.

While the Town of Purcellville Police Department has primary jurisdiction in all areas of the campus they routinely work, and communicate and assist Campus Safety officers on any serious incidents occurring on campus or in the immediate neighborhood surrounding campus. Campus Safety officers can and do respond to student-related incidents that occur on and in close proximity to campus.
