Berry College Police Department

Berry College Police Department protects the Berry College campus at Mount Berry, Georgia. Eighteen positions make up the department, including twelve police officers, an office manager and five communication officers. Officers draw their authority from Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated and are certified by the state's Peace Officer Standards and Training Council after a 404-hour basic course. Their duties combine law enforcement, crime prevention and parking enforcement, and they patrol in marked and unmarked vehicles and on foot. Through a written agreement with the Rome and Floyd County E-911 Center and the Floyd County Police Department, the department has access to the national and state crime information systems, NCIC and GCIC, although it has no formal mutual aid agreements with local emergency agencies.
