Beginning in September of 2003, gates installed at the two entrances to Brookhaven College stop all vehicular traffic between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. Both the entrance and exit lanes, located at 3939 Valley View Lane and at the intersection of Alpha and McEwen roads, are blocked to help increase security during late evening/early morning hours.
The Brookhaven College Police Department is committed to providing a safe and secure educational environment for more than 16,000 credit and noncredit students enrolled each semester as well as staff, faculty and college visitors.
The Police Department is staffed by nine commissioned Texas peace officers and one safety officer. The department is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Patrol of the campus is performed by foot, automobile and bicycle units.
