 Fitchburg State College's Campus Police Department traces
its origins to July 1, 1948, when the State Legislature authorized
a single Watchman position for the campus. The first headquarters
consisted of an in-box on the desk of the Assistant to the
President.
The Fitchburg State College Police Department
has grown substantially in the last
54 years with a firm commitment to community service delivery.
Now located at 32 Clinton Street, we are
a very different department. Our department includes a Chief, Lieutenant, Sergeant,
thirteen Police Officers, three full time Dispatchers, three Reserve Officers. The
Police Officers are fully trained, licensed, and armed as
Special State Police Officers under Massachusetts General Law c.22c, 63
and c.73,18 as well as sworn Worcester County Deputy Sheriffs. Officers possess full police powers and are responsible
for the prevention of crime, the detection and apprehension
of offenders, the preservation of public peace, and the enforcement
of all criminal laws and state statues as well as compliance
with the policies and regulations of the college.
The
department also employs a large number of students as Student Security Officers
With its basic philosophy deeply rooted in service to the
college community, the department is committed to maintaining
the highest level of community policing. Officers patrol the
campus by foot, bicycle, and cruiser 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year. Campus Police offers a number of proactive services.
The Department is responsible for the coordination of parking
and shuttle bus service and numerous other services outlined
in the website. So please take this opportunity to learn about
the Fitchburg State College Police Department and if you have
any questions, please call.
