The employees of the District Police Department are dedicated to the safety and well-being of the  students, faculty, staff, and visitors on our campuses.  The officers of the District Police Department are fully sworn and armed. The Department is POST certified (California Peace Officer’s Standards & Training) which means the officers must meet the same stringent hiring and training criteria as municipal police departments and the Sheriff’s Office.

We work in partnership with the campus communities. We want to make the time you spend on the campuses as safe and secure as possible.  Please don’t hesitate to approach any of our officers and civilian personnel with questions or concerns.  We pride ourselves on the relationships we have built with the College District community and strive for continual improvement.

The West Valley-Mission College District Police Department is a P.O.S.T certified law enforcement agency. The West Valley-Mission College Police Department is not a branch of any other law enforcement agency. Police Officers are duly appointed sworn peace officers and have full police powers similar to your local city police departments or county sheriff.

The department is responsible for a wide range of public safety services, including crime reports, traffic accidents, criminal investigations, and all other incidents requiring police assistance.

Pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 1729 and Section 67381 of the State of California Education Code requirements, we maintain two separate and valid written Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department and the City of Santa Clara Police Department outlining our Part-1 Crime Offenses, investigative responsibilities, and hours of operations.

In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1729, these agreements (MOU’s) are available to the public and the copies of these agreements have been transmitted to the Legislative Analyst.

The primary responsibility and jurisdiction of the West Valley-Mission College District Police Department is for the properties the West Valley-Mission Community College District owns, operates, and maintains.

We provide law enforcement services 7 days a week from 6:30 am-2:00 am. During our non-hours of operation from 2:00 am through 6:30 am, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department handles calls for service at West Valley College and the City of Santa Clara Police Department handles calls for service at Mission College.
