Virginia Tech Police

The forecast is in, Hokies… and it’s a hot one.🥵

Extreme heat is expected through Saturday, with near-record high temperatures each day. Overnight temperatures will also remain unusually warm through Sunday morning. ☀️

Keep in mind that prolonged extreme heat can also increase the risk of power outages, which could impact access to air conditioning. Have a plan to stay cool if your power goes out. 🪭

Stay hydrated! Drink water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Taking breaks in air-conditioned spaces or the shade can also help prevent heat-related illness. 💧

Beat the heat. 💪🌡️

Training across campuses, serving across communities. 💙

Earlier this month, VTPD's Emergency Response Team (ERT) joined SRT and SRT for ongoing SWAT joint-training. These groups are a part of the unique University Special Operations Group (USOG) who can respond to major events at any Virginia state university where their special skills are needed, such as last year's Metallica concert.

We remain committed to collaborating in order to share information, practice safe and effective responses, and do everything we can to best serve our communities and the Commonwealth.

One year later, your memory lives on. Forever remembered, forever missed.

An adventurer at heart and proud member of the VTPD family, VT Security Center Representative Caleb Taylor was a dedicated Hokie who helped many in our community. We remember your enthusiasm, support, and the laughter you brought to work each day. Our thoughts and prayers remain with Caleb's loved ones.

Rest easy, Caleb. 🖤 6.13.25
