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 they 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 Department, Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department, and the Stafford Police Department, to provide assistance for incidents that require special resources.
