Message from the Chief of Police

Welcome to the Georgetown University Police Department website. Our department is dedicated to providing a safe, secure, and inclusive environment that supports the academic and personal growth of every member of our Hoya community. True safety is a shared responsibility, and we achieve it through proactive community policing, strong campus partnerships, and a deep commitment to transparency and mutual trust. Whether you are a student, faculty member, staff, or visitor, our officers and staff are here to serve and protect you around the clock across both our Hilltop and Capitol campuses.

Open communication and accountability are fundamental to building a strong relationship with the community we serve. We want to hear from you about your experiences with our department. Whether you would like to commend an officer for exceptional service, offer a suggestion, or share a concern about an interaction, please use the feedback tools available on our Contact Us page . Your constructive input—both positive and negative—is invaluable in helping us maintain high standards, address issues, and continuously improve our service to the university.

I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our crime prevention services and safety resources.
