The Longwood Police Department was ranked among the nation’s top 10 college and university police departments in the annual evaluation of the security industry by Security Magazine.

Longwood was one of only 24 organizations nationwide, and the only one from Virginia, to be listed in the category Education: Colleges and Universities in the November 2010 issue of the publication. Longwood ranked No. 10.

The issue contained the fifth annual Security 500 Survey, Benchmark and Trends report, which listed a combined 500 security organizations in 16 categories. The rankings are based on a survey sent to security organizations that includes a general section of questions as well as questions unique to each respective category. The year before, Longwood’s police force ranked 24th in the survey and was one of only 27, and also the only one from Virginia, to be listed.
