Campus Safety Information
The Virginia Tech Police Department is a nationally accredited professional organization staffed by highly trained men and women. The department consists of 35
sworn officers and a full-time support staff of 14 employees. Numerous seasonal employees supplement the support staff during the academic year. Virginia Tech
Police operates 24-hours a day and provides full police service to the university community. The officers are state-certified and empowered to enforce all
federal, state, and local laws on university property. They have full authority to make arrests and carry firearms. In addition to patrol, investigation, and
crime prevention, the department answers calls for assistance such as vehicle breakdowns or keys locked in vehicles.
Virginia Tech also offers an on campus, dusk-to-dawn escort program. Students who call can have a security officer escort them to their building, or give them a
ride.
One safe (and free) way to get around Blacksburg is the Blacksburg Transit, or BT for short. The BT is a bus line that connects the main campus, off campus
apartment complexes, downtown Blacksburg and Christiansburg. All students can ride free by showing their student ID.
