June is National Safety Month, and we’re taking a moment to recognize the people and practices that help protect our communities. At the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the VA Police Service plays a critical role in maintaining safety every day at VA Medical Centers (VAMCs), outpatient clinics, and all VA. If you’re looking for an exciting career that’s All About Veterans, the VA Police Service might be for you.
VA Police Officers are more than law enforcement professionals—they’re trusted members of the VA community who ensure that Veterans, visitors, and staff feel safe and supported across our facilities. From patrolling campuses to responding to emergencies and de-escalating difficult situations, these officers bring a unique combination of vigilance, compassion, and integrity to their work
Why VA

- Criminal investigations

- Exterior vehicle patrols
- Interior foot patrols
- Physical security surveys
- Predictive crime analysis
- And more
