About
the New College of Florida Police Department
According to the New College of Florida, “The history
of New College began in the late 1950s, when a group of Sarasota civic leaders came to the conclusion that their community
was an ideal site for a college. In 1960, with assistance from the national Congregational and Christian Church, those civic
leaders created the framework for a small liberal arts college whose students would come from all parts of the nation and
whose faculty and curriculum would reflect the highest standards of academic excellence.”
The
New College of Florida Police Department is an accredited law enforcement agency that provides safety and security services
for the New College of Florida community. In addition to typical law enforcement, policing and security
functions, the New College of Florida Police Department also provides safety escorts, vehicle jump starts and assistance with
vehicle lock outs. The chief of police answers to the Vice President of Finance and Administration.
