Services Provided by HCC Police
Police Investigation
The HCC Police Officers are sworn peace officers in compliance with the Texas Education Code and the Texas Penal Code. They receive the same training as all peace officers in the county, city and state and the have the same authority on or about the campus as local police department officers.
The HCC Police Department receives reports of all incidents occurring on campus and is responsible for investigating all campus crime. In addition, the department has a working relationship with the Houston Police Department, Harris County Sheriff's Department, Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department, and the Stafford Police Department, to provide assistance for incidents that require special resources.
Campus Escorts

The Owner / Operator of the vehicle will be responsible for any Costs, Fees and Taxes associated with the service provided and will have to pay the vendor at the time the service is provided. A list of approved vendors and their costs for service provided will be published here as soon as available.

Lost & Found
If an item is found on campus that appears to be unattended, it can be turned into the nearest Police Officer or to a security officer located at each campus. Most non-perishable items will be held for a period of ninety (90) days and if not claimed will be given to various non-profit charitable organizations. HCC Officers will attempt to locate the true owners of property collected, however, many items turned in lack information to assist in this endeavor.
