The department has 58 full-time sworn officers who are complemented in their duties by 15 civilian staff and numerous security personnel. In 2016, VTPD joined the New River Valley Emergency Communications Regional Authority with all the other police, sheriff, fire and rescue agencies in Montgomery County. The department's investigations unit consists of a detective lieutenant, a detective sergeant and three detectives. There is also one detective assigned to the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. The force is headed by Chief Mac Babb. VTPD officers have jurisdiction and legal authority on all university-owned and/or leased property and work closely and share jurisdiction with the Blacksburg Police Department, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department and other law enforcement agencies. The force came to world attention in April 2007, following the Virginia Tech shooting. (en)
