Police Officers patrol the campus by car, motorcycle, bicycle, and on foot.

The Uniformed Patrol Division is divided into three primary shifts; each shift is supervised by two Sergeants.
The Boston College Police Department's Security Division consists of Gate Attendants, Museum and Library Security Officers, Campus Security Officers (CSO), Safety Escort Van Drivers and contract security officers.
The responsibilities of the Security Division include a friendly presence at one of the seven entry gates to the campus, as well as the staffing of several posts such as residence halls, libraries and other buildings on campus. They are also responsible for the assistance of those wishing to park on campus, the deterrence of theft and damage to university and personal property, as well as the safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors to the campus.
The security officers' contribution to the success of public safety efforts on the campus is without a doubt a very important link in maintaining the existence of a safe, orderly and tranquil environment that will assure all those affiliated with the university the opportunity of achieving their mission.
The Boston College Police Communications Division is the vital link between police and security officers, citizens, emergency medical services, fire department, public safety responders, and state/national law enforcement agencies.
Often, police dispatchers are the first line of communications between the community and the responding personnel. Trained and qualified dispatchers provide information to police officers and the community that is essential to campus safety.
Police Dispatcher's utilize an automated Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system to track events, officers鈥� responses and status. This division also utilizes LEAPS (Law Enforcement Agencies Processing System), CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Systems) and the National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (NLETS). CJIS and NLETS link together local, state, federal, and international law enforcement agencies for the purpose of information exchange.
Police Dispatcher's assigned to this division are the primary point of contact for emergency and non-emergency requests for police services. Dispatchers are trained to determine the type of response that is needed.
