What are the differences between Police Officers, Guards, and Cadets?
The TJC Police Department has three different groups of officers: Police, Guards, and Cadets.
TJC's Police Officers are commissioned law enforcement officers with full police authority. The uniformed officers wear dark blue uniforms with a "Police" patch on both sleeves and are armed.
The Guard division of the TJC Police Department consists of non-commissioned officers. They assist TJC Officers with routine duties. Guards wear a dark blue uniform shirt with a "Guard" patch on the left sleeve and a Texas flag patch on the right sleeve.
Campus Police cadets are TJC Criminal Justice students. Their responsibilities include parking enforcement and foot patrols. Cadets wear a dark blue uniform with a "Cadet" patch on the left sleeve and a Texas flag patch on the right sleeve.
