 Mission Statement: The VA Police Mission Statement was written with the
entire VA population in mind. It says, " To work in partnership with the
citizens of the VA in providing courteous, competent, and effective delivery
of law enforcement service in a manner sensitive to our diverse and
multi-cultural community." The Value Statement sets high standards for all
officers in accomplishing the mission by requiring them, " To maintain
exemplary personal traits of honesty, morality, self-restraint, courage,
obedience to the law, and respect for the rights and liberty of all
persons."
 The VA Police has the same authority and responsibilities on the VA campus
as other police departments have in the hundreds of jurisdictions across the
country. The VA Police is a full-service police agency with concurrent
jurisdiction within the confines of the VA campus in Louisville. VA Police
Officers' statutory arrest authority is derived from Title 38 of the United
States Code Section 902. Police Officers at the VA are hired only after
passing an interview process, a complete background investigation, physical
examination, and drug screening. Each officer is required to attend and pass
an eight-week course of study at the Federal VA Law Enforcement Training
Academy in North Little Rock, Arkansas, during the first year of employment
and qualify twice annually with issued firearms. In addition to a minimum of
80-hours in-service training each year, officers also attend many
specialized training courses provided by the other federal, state, or local
police agencies.
