Personal Message:
I am proud of our police department and the excellent services that we provide to our community. Education provides a quality of life for our students by helping them obtain the skills that they need to accomplish their goals and dreams. The members of our department our dedicated to making JJC a safe place to learn, work and visit. We consistently establish partnerships with the members of our community. This holistic concept gives community members the opportunity to provide input into how our police services are delivered to their area. When this is accomplished, those in the community see the police as a very viable part of where they live, visit, and attend school.
