Campus SafetyCampus Safety EnforcementBPCC has a full-time staff of police officers and is patrolled by off-duty, commissioned Bossier City police officers daily and by normal patrol of the Bossier City Police Department 24-hours a day. Police cars are visible on campus during these hours. Since campus police and Bossier City police are the same, BPCC benefits from their arrest authority. BPCC was issued a radio station license by the FCC for operation of police radios. Each officer carries both Bossier City Police Department radios and Bossier Parish Community College radios. To supplement campus police, BPCC has a Campus Watch Team of supervisors and students. Each campus watch personnel is equipped with a police radio and flashlight. This enables the monitoring of the hallways and walking other faculty or students out of the building at night. BPCC strives to maintain a safe and secure atmosphere for members of the student body, faculty, staff, and the general public. The College makes every effort to provide such an environment but stresses that campus safety is the responsibility of the entire campus community.
