George Mason was established as a four-year university in 1972 when the governor signed legislation separating it from the University of Virginia. In 1981 the George Mason University’s 21 person security department was reorganized and formed an autonomous law enforcement agency

Today, the George Mason University Police Department has grown to a force of over fifty sworn officers which patrols t

hree campuses. The department is a full service law enforcement agency which has maintained its nationally accredited status since 1991.

Everyday on patrol is different and you never know who you will meet when you start your day. Today, two officers from the Netherlands Police paid us a visit as part of their time spent in the US during National Police Week, trading patches and coins and checking out American police vehicles. Safe travels, officers, and enjoy your time in Virginia!

We had a blast providing a safe and secure environment for Mason Day! Even our UAS team provided drone support to keep a watch from the skies.

Did you know? Mason Day came from a University of Virginia tradition. In 1965, as a branch campus of UVA, George Mason College celebrated its first Founders Day (Thomas Jefferson’s birthday) on April 13. Yet the college couldn’t resist honoring George Mason on the very next day, April 14. Just a few years later, the college skipped TJ’s birthday altogether and celebrated only Mason Day on Friday of that week.
