Department Operations

Saint Michael's College is located in the town of Colchester and thus falls within the jurisdiction of the Colchester Police Department (CPD). All incidents on campus which qualify as serious crimes are reported or referred to the Colchester Police.

SMC borders the City of Winooski, and Public Safety maintains a cooperative arrangement with the Winooski Police Department (WPD) as well. This is in the interest of protecting the campus and the students who reside off campus in Winooski.

Public Safety monitors and has direct communication by radio with both Colchester and Winooski Police, if their assistance is needed. SMC, CPD and WPD routinely exchange information relative to the security and protection of the campus and surrounding neighborhoods.
