Department Spotlight | ACPD
The Amarillo College Police Department is here to provide the absolute best police service possible to the students, faculty, and staff of Amarillo College, and to all who visit our campuses. The officers of ACPD are committed to service before self. We check ourselves daily to make sure we're in the right mindset, by that I mean, we make sure we are approachable, accessible, and that we are accountable at all times. Campus policing is being aware that our interactions with the campus community are our top priority, because we may never know how much of an impact we have on the community that we serve.
Our primary goal is to watch over and protect our students from the first day they arrive on campus, helping them find their classes and navigate the different buildings, to their last, as we watch them walk across the stage and receive their degrees. Students are only here for a short period of time, so let's show love and compassion along the way.
