Special Note:

What a week this past week has been. This is probably not what most of us anticipated in our lives and not what any of us wanted.  As we all move forward in dealing with this virus, it is essential that you realize what is considered appropriate today may be obsolete tomorrow. The developments and lessons learned around the virus are moving at an unbelievably quick pace and there simply are not enough answers to our questions.  The Virginia Highland Security Patrol will continue to operate as scheduled throughout this unprecedented period.  We ask that all members call as needed and we will work together to keep our community safe.  Police Officers are first responders and are on the front line and will follow the warnings when they can and practice social distancing when it’s possible.  The Virginia Highland Security Patrol is here for you now and in the future to serve all members with the utmost dedication to the Virginia Highland Community.
