Greenville Technical College is a relatively large community of students, faculty and staff, spread among eight (8) different locations throughout Greenville County.
The Greenville Technical College Police Department (GTCPD) provides this large community with a 24-hour certified police department to enforce all federal, state, county, and municipal laws, offer educational and crime-prevention programs for students, faculty and staff, and provide escort services.
GTCPD is the primary law enforcement agency for all Greenville Technical College campuses and locations. The department works closely with the Greenville Police Department, Greenville County Sheriff's Office, and other county, state, and federal agencies to help ensure the safety of everyone on campus.
GTC police officers are sworn, certified by the S.C. Criminal Justice Academy and commissioned by the Office of the Governor as state constables, having statewide jurisdiction. However, they generally limit activities to the campuses and areas surrounding the campuses. Officers work hard to develop relationships with students, faculty, and staff in an effort to increase awareness and a positive exchange of information.
In addition, the department works with non-sworn Department of Public Safety officers with the GTC Office of Environmental Safety to assist with safety and security issues, including parking enforcement and securing buildings.
At their discretion, GTC police officers may refer students who have committed minor offenses to the dean of students for disciplinary action in lieu of arrest.
The prosecutions of arrests are conducted in either Magistrate Court (Summary Court, 320 West Main Street, Taylors, SC 29687) or General Sessions Court. Prosecutions of General Sessions cases are handled by the 13th Circuit Solicitor's Office.
