All department members regularly attend TCLEOSE-approved classes and in-service training to receive updates on current regulations and knowledge of new laws.

The Brookhaven College Police Department reports directly to the vice president of business services and works closely with the vice presidents of student development and instruction and the college president.

Every effort is made to maintain a safe campus environment. High visibility patrols and frequent checks of campus buildings and grounds assure a quick response to those requesting assistance. The department maintains a crime prevention program for all staff and faculty members and during student orientation, provides students with information on such personal services as providing an escort to vehicles, unlocking vehicles, providing a battery jump or airing up a flat tire. The college staff newsletter, Courtyard Chatter, and college newspaper, The Courier, regularly contain information on crime prevention programs and list all reported crimes such as murder, sexual assault (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary or motor vehicle theft.
