The Public Safety offices are located in Gordon Hall and are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The sworn officers, communications, and parking enforcement staff proudly serve the Gordon State College community.

The department employs twelve trained officers certified by the Peace Officers Standards and Training Council of Georgia, one civilian employee, and three security officers. Any city police officer or county deputy sheriff must receive this certification before becoming a law enforcement officer in Georgia.

At Gordon State College, these officers enforce the state laws and local ordinances.

They issue citations, make arrests, and work vehicle accidents. They also lock and unlock campus buildings, assist motorists, patrol the campus on foot, by bicycle, or in marked patrol vehicles.

Crime reports may be made at any time, in person, online, or by telephone at 678.359.5111. Crimes off campus should be reported to the Barnesville Police Department or the Lamar County Sheriff's Department (911).

The Gordon State College Department of Public Safety is a member of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police. Please stop by Gordon Hall to learn more about the Public Safety operation, or call the office at 678. 359. 5101 and speak to an officer or one of the staff. Be careful out there!
